0:02:12 > 0:02:17I was reading that if the Gulf Stream cools, Scotland'll actually get colder and no' hotter.

0:02:17 > 0:02:22Charlie, when would you say you were at your most boring? Morning or afternoon?

0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Cos I cannae decide!- Mornin', ladies.

0:02:26 > 0:02:27In good spirits, I see.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31- So who fancies being a little jolly volunteer?- What for?

0:02:31 > 0:02:34To represent the Army in a debate with some students.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Female students?- You're out.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Aw, pure, whit, man?!

0:02:39 > 0:02:41- What's the debate on?- Iraq.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45- I think I'd have a few things to say aboot that. - That's you out, then, as well.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49We'll provide the answers, we just need some monkey to deliver them.

0:02:49 > 0:02:54Don't shake your head at me, or you'll need to stick a spoon up your arse to eat your breakfast!

0:02:54 > 0:02:59- Aw, Sarge.- Oh, well, McLintoch, now I seem to have gained your approval,

0:02:59 > 0:03:02you can gain mine, briefin' room after your scoff.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Nae luck, son.- My mistake...

0:03:05 > 0:03:09I'll need two. Thanks, Jackson... Kind o' ye. Ten minutes!

0:03:10 > 0:03:11Boys, boys, boys.

0:03:15 > 0:03:20At ease, chaps. Now, er, as Sergeant may have said,

0:03:20 > 0:03:23my younger brother Rupert is at university at St Andrews,

0:03:23 > 0:03:27bit of a big...you know, in the OTC, and he's organised a debate.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29You will go and, er...hmm.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Sergeant?

0:03:32 > 0:03:37Yes, as the Captain has so succinctly outlined,

0:03:37 > 0:03:43you will be representing the Army, adopting our official stance on the recent conflict.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Yes. Very good, Sergeant.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Carry on.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Here's the details of where and when, etc, etc.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54As well as the points you will be debating, and the answers you will give.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58We get the answers? Is that no' like cheating?

0:03:58 > 0:04:00No, you know the motto. Be prepared!

0:04:00 > 0:04:03I think it's best that we're all singing from the same...

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Song sheet! Very well put, sir.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13All you need to do is learn the questions and recite the answers.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Yeah, actually, ah, I wrote some of the answers myself...

0:04:16 > 0:04:21Some of the finest Army minds have been working on this, so you don't even need to think.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Don't worry, Sarge, I won't.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27Now, the Captain's brother, Rupert,

0:04:27 > 0:04:33is planning on going to Sandhurst, as you can imagine, so any questions or queries he may have

0:04:33 > 0:04:37with regard to Army life, I expect you to take the time to answer.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Certainly, Sarge.- Understood?

0:04:39 > 0:04:40Yes, Sarge.

0:04:43 > 0:04:49Lads, um, my brother, Rupert, he might not be the, you know, of the family.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51But...he will make a good officer, so, er,

0:04:51 > 0:04:53you know...

0:04:57 > 0:05:01Yes, lads, you know. Off you go.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Very good, sir, a really good briefing!

0:05:13 > 0:05:17'You never know what's going to happen, do you?'

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Nobody does.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Not even God.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25I mean, maybe in a year's time I might not even be sat here.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30I might be sitting somewhere else.

0:05:30 > 0:05:34Like in a different seat and, and that's what's exciting aboot life, eh?

0:05:34 > 0:05:40Like one minute you're sittin' in one seat and then the next minute you're sittin' in a different seat,

0:05:40 > 0:05:43and, you know, thinking aboot it like that,

0:05:43 > 0:05:45life is a bit like musical chairs, eh?

0:05:47 > 0:05:52Although there's not always music...

0:05:52 > 0:05:55and it's over a really long period of time...

0:05:55 > 0:06:00in different places and without everyone trying to sit on the same seat.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03I'm no' sure I understand.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08You're going to St Andrews to represent the Army in a debate, but you've got all the answers?

0:06:08 > 0:06:12Yes. You do understand, cos that's what's happening.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14This smells brilliant, what is it?

0:06:14 > 0:06:17That's some recipes I got off the internet.

0:06:17 > 0:06:22There's...there's chicken madras, there's prawn tikka massala,

0:06:22 > 0:06:25there's lamb rogan josh and there is...the house special.

0:06:25 > 0:06:32- Which is?- Oh, it's chicken, prawn, lamb, potato, swede, pea, and carrot curry stew.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Mmm. And what's in the oven?

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Macaroni, vegetarian option.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40- You got all these off the internet? - Well, apart from the house special! That's mine...

0:06:40 > 0:06:42You know, cos it's ma hoose!

0:06:42 > 0:06:48- Aye.- Right, now let's have a look and see what this is aw aboot.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Hand me ma specs.- I see you still can't find your reading glasses.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Och, these work fine.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01"This house believes the Iraq war was justified,

0:07:01 > 0:07:03"and no' just for oil."

0:07:05 > 0:07:10- Whose house?- Oh, I think that's a university thing.- Och, we wouldn't know anything aboot that.

0:07:10 > 0:07:15"The Army..." Where, where are you? "The Army," that's your bit, eh?

0:07:15 > 0:07:20Hmm-mm. "Without the toppling of Saddam Hussein, Iraq would remain

0:07:20 > 0:07:27"a threat to peace in the Middle East, and a significant sponsor of terrorist activities."

0:07:27 > 0:07:31Ah, well, I suppose they did topple him, didn't they?

0:07:31 > 0:07:34And, and he's less of a threat now, so, aye, good point, Gary.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35Oh, thanks.

0:07:35 > 0:07:36DOORBELL RINGS

0:07:36 > 0:07:42- Oh, that might be Julie.- Hiya. - What did you no' tell me for? I don't think we've got enough.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45It's me, Gary! I'm here, I'm here! Right, what is it?

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Oh, Mr McLintoch! Look at you, you're sick. Oh, my God, you're blind.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Oh, he's blind, for God's sake!

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Trying to get him to read a bit of paper, that's cruel, Gary! Sit down! C'mon.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58- Julie, what's the matter wi' you? - I got your text about needing my help!

0:07:58 > 0:08:01He shouldn't be cooking, I'll cook! Give me that wooden spoon.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06Julie, he's not blind, it's just his glasses. Deep breaths, Julie, deep breaths.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Oh, aye... Well, you look really cool.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12- I think I need some water. - I'll get you some water.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14- No, you're sick.- He's no' sick.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Maybe it's me, maybe it's me that's sick!

0:08:17 > 0:08:21It was that hot in the baker's and then the walk home, I think I might need one of they tinfoil blankets.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25- There's some tinfoil in that drawer. - Right, just stop.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Dad, stir the curry. Julie, get a wee seat.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36Listen, I just need you to be the opposition at the debate. It's no' that serious.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Right, so why was your text in capitals?

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Because I was eatin' a bag o' crisps.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44A debate? I don't think I'd be good at that. I'm rubbish at winning arguments.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46- No, you're not.- Yes, I am, Gary!

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Right, well let us just try it.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51And this is a pretend argument, so you might win it.

0:08:51 > 0:08:52I doubt that.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55I doubt that too, Julie, but let's just see how it goes, eh?

0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Who's for curry?- Oh, aye.- Curry?

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Aye. You like curry, Julie?

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Curry? Yeah, hmm-mm. - There we go. Oh, get it doon.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Get fired in.

0:09:08 > 0:09:13Right, let's have a look at these questions.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14Can you pass the milk?

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Right, I'll go devil's advocate.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27What does that mean?

0:09:27 > 0:09:30It basically means he's a stirrer, like Anne-Marie McLaverty.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32She's an absolute bitch!

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Julie!- Oh! I'm so sorry, Mr McLintoch.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39It's a' right, Julie, we all swear now and again, even me.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42I remember I once called Mrs Miller a dong pumper, by accident.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46She'd bumped into me wi' her shoppin' trolley and it just came oot.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47It did, I was there.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50I don't really think she knew what it meant.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52- No.- That makes me feel a bit better.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53Can you pass the naan?

0:09:55 > 0:09:59- Thanks. - Julie, you read this one oot.

0:09:59 > 0:10:05"This house believes the Iraq conflict wasn't a front for the West to secure access tae oil."

0:10:05 > 0:10:10- Gary?- Um, yes, no?

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Julie, can I get an onion bhajee?

0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Julie?- What?!

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Are you all right?- No, no, I'm no'. I'm sorry, I'm just...

0:10:18 > 0:10:22It's so hot, I'm, I'm, I'm just so hot. I shouldn't have had the curry.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24You should have said, there's macaroni!

0:10:24 > 0:10:28It's a' right, Julie, I think we've done enough for today. I'll look at this later.

0:10:28 > 0:10:33I'm really sorry about the curry and my mouth and the milk. I'll tidy up.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Just you make sure you're prepped, son...

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Remember when I tried to make those apricot, prune-filled,

0:10:40 > 0:10:46- Czechoslovakian sweet buns? I hadn't done the preparation properly... I paid the price.- I remember.

0:10:46 > 0:10:51That was a tough day. But this is different, Dad. I've got the answers, I just need to read them oot.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53The Chechen buns are in the bag, if you ken what I mean.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55You're so clever, Gary.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Buns in the bag. Here's your folder.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Can I have some dessert?

0:11:03 > 0:11:07I can dae an impression o' him. Jacko and the boys are always askin' me to dae it.

0:11:07 > 0:11:13Should I? Right, a' right. Right, so he's come in the office, right,

0:11:13 > 0:11:20and he's chucked his hat on the stand, ken, and he always gets it on the stand, it annoys me...

0:11:20 > 0:11:21and he turns roond and he says,

0:11:21 > 0:11:26Miss Moneypenneeee.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28That's it, but I can dae a better one, right.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30I can dae a better one, right.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32This is just something, it's no' in the film,

0:11:32 > 0:11:34but it's something I imagine he'd say.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37That's me away to the shhhhoapsss.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41That's quite good, eh? I've got one more, right.

0:11:41 > 0:11:42I've got one more impression, right.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45And that, this is, this is, it's no' him,

0:11:45 > 0:11:48but from the Bond films. This is the impression, right. Watch.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56That's Jaws.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Fae the Bond films!

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Ah, aboot time.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Bags in the boot, please, bell boy.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10You'll struggle to dae that debate wi' a broken jaw.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19I suppose this is what you'd call a win-win situation.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21How?

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Cos we've got the answers, so we'll win...

0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Win.- Kindae.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28What do you mean, "kindae".

0:12:28 > 0:12:31You've got the Army's answers, doesn't mean you'll win.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33How does it no'?!

0:12:34 > 0:12:39Cos, they're students, an' that. Ken whit they're like. Most of them'll hate you.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Why would they hate me?! - Cos of the uniform, ya fanny!

0:12:43 > 0:12:46- I suit this.- Shut up!

0:12:46 > 0:12:52It doesn't matter what you say, most of them'll be, like, against Iraq, an' aw that.

0:12:52 > 0:12:53We'll see.

0:12:55 > 0:12:56The Great Debate.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59The Battle O' Words.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03I wonder which word would be the sorest, if it was a bullet?

0:13:03 > 0:13:06- What?- Ayah!

0:13:06 > 0:13:10That would be a sore, eh?! What else?

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Kapow! That would be sore.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Yellow?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18That wouldnae hurt as much.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Prick.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26Jacko, that hurt.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Hiya.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Thanks.- I hate terrorists.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Aye, they're a cheeky bunch, eh?

0:14:18 > 0:14:23I'll just see if I can locate him. Here, he might have gone AWOL, eh?

0:14:23 > 0:14:26If he has we might need to go find him and shoot him in the heid!

0:14:26 > 0:14:32OK... Rupert has booked the lecture theatre over at the OTC building,

0:14:32 > 0:14:36which is at the other side of town, but it's easy enough to find.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Oh, well, I hope it is,

0:14:39 > 0:14:42otherwise we might need to come back and get you!

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Thanks. See you later!

0:15:53 > 0:15:57Oh, we got up to some laughs at boarding school, I can tell you...

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Oh, Pasty once dropped a duvet out of a window.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03I bet he never told you that one, eh?

0:16:03 > 0:16:07- No.- Great chat.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07I should be at a History of Art tutorial now, but stuff that, right?

0:17:07 > 0:17:08Free Palestine!

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Free Palestine!

0:17:10 > 0:17:14That's funny, he never even looked like he was from Palestine.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17He's not, they don't even know what they're protesting against.

0:17:17 > 0:17:22- They don't understand war.- Is that right?- Yeah, bloody English!

0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Are you not from England? - England?!

0:17:25 > 0:17:30Scottish, mate. Bloody Aviemore, born and bred, I thought you kent my brother?

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Oh, aye... He's...Scottish(!)

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Well, what's the point?

0:17:37 > 0:17:44We could have one of these inquiries into whether Iraq was right or wrong,

0:17:44 > 0:17:49but then, what do inquiries actually achieve?

0:17:49 > 0:17:52I mean, we still don't know what killed Diana!

0:17:52 > 0:17:55I was, like, so hungover, like wicked sweet hungover,

0:17:55 > 0:17:59cos I'd been drinking John Smith's all night,

0:17:59 > 0:18:03OK, and then suddenly these paint balls just whooshed past me like, SHADAH! KAPPA!

0:18:03 > 0:18:06You know, like, really close. I mean, you'll know what that's like, right?

0:18:06 > 0:18:12And I thought I was a goner, but I pulled myself together and I called out to my men,

0:18:12 > 0:18:16"Come on, St Andrews, we can win this!"

0:18:17 > 0:18:19- And did you?- No.

0:18:28 > 0:18:33- Thanks.- Listen, I know it's only been a couple of hours,

0:18:33 > 0:18:37but I think I'm really starting to understand how you guys bond.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42I'd take a bullet for both of you.

0:18:45 > 0:18:46Just the bill will do.

0:18:50 > 0:18:51It would be a privilege.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00If he salutes one more time I'm going to snap his hands off!

0:19:00 > 0:19:03Oh, come along, Mr Huffy Puff.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05He's keeping us in French Fancies.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Mmmm!

0:19:12 > 0:19:16This is the arena and you guys will be here,

0:19:16 > 0:19:21I'll be sat there, and your opponent Millie will be there.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Ah, that is what we're up against.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Nae bother. - Oui, oui, pas de probleme!

0:19:29 > 0:19:32- Is she Spanish?- No.- Er, Scottish?

0:19:32 > 0:19:33English.

0:19:33 > 0:19:37- Right. - Alors, a bientot. Au revoir.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Sorry about that. Millie, nice to meet you.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Gary. This is Jacko.- A' right?

0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Hi.- Rupert was just saying, um...

0:19:44 > 0:19:47- You're English.- Guilty as charged...

0:19:47 > 0:19:51- Scottish, I presume?- Och, aye.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53How exciting. North versus south.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56Yes, I hope you're ready for the north to whip your arse?

0:19:56 > 0:20:00- You don't have a whip with you, do you, Corporal?- Er, no, just a gun.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03- That's a joke.- Yeah, I know.

0:20:03 > 0:20:09OK, well, if you'll excuse me I'll go and steel myself to take on the might of the British Army.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Well, may the best man win! - Person.- Er, naw... Man.

0:20:20 > 0:20:25OK, OK, thank you, everyone, OK - settle.

0:20:25 > 0:20:33OK, I'd like to welcome you all to this debate on Iraq, whether it was justified...

0:20:33 > 0:20:35or just for oil.

0:20:35 > 0:20:42I'm keen to get started, so let me introduce Millie Fairfax, who will be speaking against the house,

0:20:42 > 0:20:49but more importantly Corporal McLintoch, who shall be speaking for the house.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51APPLAUSE

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Hiya.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01You a' right?

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Er...

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Just, um...er...ma notes,

0:21:18 > 0:21:19Er...

0:21:22 > 0:21:24Um...

0:21:26 > 0:21:34OK, so, this house believes that the Iraq conflict is...

0:21:34 > 0:21:40a lot like...macaroni... Because, on its own,

0:21:40 > 0:21:43it's, it's, um...dry

0:21:43 > 0:21:46and horrible...a bit like Iraq.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48But it's, it's when you add the cheese sauce, that...

0:21:48 > 0:21:53That's when it works, eh, that's when it comes together, that's, that's when you love it.

0:21:53 > 0:21:58But...if you add a cheese sauce that disnae work, that's where you get the problems like,

0:21:58 > 0:22:03I remember once ma dad was experimenting like wi' a new cheese sauce and he used Dairylea.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05And that didnae work.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Actually it made him boak...

0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Corporal, are you being serious? - I know!

0:22:10 > 0:22:14Lookin' back on it, it's total madness, but at the time, you know, he was just,

0:22:14 > 0:22:18he was just experimenting, he was just trying to make a sauce that works,

0:22:18 > 0:22:20and...in a way, looking back, like, us in Iraq,

0:22:20 > 0:22:23we were maybe, you know,

0:22:23 > 0:22:28that new sauce, and, perhaps some of ye think, you know,

0:22:28 > 0:22:33that we, the Army, were Dairylea or maybe you think we were cheddar,

0:22:33 > 0:22:37but the bottom line is we were just trying to make a better sauce of it.

0:22:40 > 0:22:41Millie, your response?

0:22:43 > 0:22:48Well, talking of sauce - take the sexed-up dossier.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51You wouldn't have had to try and make a better sauce

0:22:51 > 0:22:54- if the Government's recipe had been accurate in the first place!- What?

0:22:54 > 0:23:01I mean, that if the dossier represented a recipe, then we, the nation, were given the wrong recipe.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03We were misled on how to make macaroni cheese.

0:23:03 > 0:23:07Ah, but, see, I don't think there is, like, one right way of making macaroni.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09My mum makes it with a blue cheese sauce.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13Well, that's disgusting. I mean, you should be making it wi' a yellow sauce,

0:23:13 > 0:23:16eh, like a yellow cheese. Cheddar, you know.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19Nanny use to use to make it with a mix of milder creamier cheeses.

0:23:19 > 0:23:24Well, you see? It's complicated. Like when we were in Iraq.

0:23:24 > 0:23:29You know, we were trying to make a new sauce and we maybe didn't have all the ingredients,

0:23:29 > 0:23:33but we were on a budget, you know? It was a bit like Ready Steady Cook,

0:23:33 > 0:23:36we did the best we could wi' the bag that we got, you know.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38APPLAUSE

0:23:40 > 0:23:42But Corporal, I put it to you

0:23:42 > 0:23:46that, far from being on a budget, a la Ready Steady Cook, you were effectively

0:23:46 > 0:23:52shopping from Marks & Spencer's. You were dropping organic cream cakes on defenceless Lidl shoppers.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53APPLAUSE

0:23:53 > 0:23:55But what were we supposed to dae?

0:23:55 > 0:23:59We invited Saddam round for dinner but he didnae want to eat wi' us.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02- I mean, we tried to cook for him. - Maybe you didn't try hard enough.

0:24:02 > 0:24:07In fact, I put it to you that you offered him steak and he was vegan. There were no real options.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11You bought the steak, you knew he wouldn't come round, let alone eat it.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15Well, Millie. Sometimes, it's difficult to cook for vegans.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Especially macaroni cheese.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19APPLAUSE

0:24:21 > 0:24:23HIP HOP MUSIC

0:24:37 > 0:24:40# Take a ride, take a ride Take a ride, take a ride

0:24:40 > 0:24:42# Take a ride, take a ride, Take a ride with me

0:24:42 > 0:24:44# Take a ride, take a ride Take a ride, take a ride

0:24:44 > 0:24:47# Take a ride Won't you ride with me?

0:24:47 > 0:24:50# Take a ride, take a ride Take a ride, take a ride

0:24:50 > 0:24:53# Take a ride, take a ride Take a ride with me... #

0:24:53 > 0:24:58I don't care how you dress this salad up, it's always been about oil!

0:24:58 > 0:25:03Well, even if it was always aboot oil, Millie, we've made that salad, we've chopped the lettuce,

0:25:03 > 0:25:05chopped the cucumber, put the lettuce in

0:25:05 > 0:25:11and we've put as much salad cream in as possible, so to put oil on it now would just ruin it.

0:25:11 > 0:25:12APPLAUSE

0:25:13 > 0:25:17OK, guys, I'm going to have to ask you to make your closing statements.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21Um, Corporal?

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Um...

0:25:23 > 0:25:29Well, all I'd say is that to anyone who has ever cooked anything, sometimes it works,

0:25:29 > 0:25:35and sometimes it doesnae and sometimes it's nice and sometimes it makes you sick

0:25:35 > 0:25:37and sometimes you have seconds, right.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41But for those of you that think that we, the Army, made a meal of Iraq,

0:25:41 > 0:25:46maybe you should stop eating microwave meals and try cooking something from scratch,

0:25:46 > 0:25:49cos I'm telling ye', it's a lot more difficult.

0:25:49 > 0:25:50Thanks for listening.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53APPLAUSE

0:25:59 > 0:26:05Corporal, I must admit that even as an ardent anti-war protester and vegan,

0:26:05 > 0:26:10I'm now willing to admit that there's not always going to be a dairy-free option.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12APPLAUSE

0:26:20 > 0:26:23- I knew we'd win.- Well, I won.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27Yes, you won, but I mean, um, the Army won. So we won!

0:26:27 > 0:26:31- Well...- I can't wait to join the Forces and become an officer.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32Do you think I can do it?

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Rupert, you are an officer.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40Thank you.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Well, I'm just going to go over and congratulate Millie on losing.

0:26:51 > 0:26:52Oh, Jacko,

0:26:52 > 0:27:00how about that, eh?! Oh, just think, in a couple of years, when I've graduated and joined you guys,

0:27:00 > 0:27:03I can see us having a good drink and laugh about this.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08Oh, God, only... I'll be in the officers' mess, so, um,

0:27:08 > 0:27:10it won't be exactly like this.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Aye, you're right.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16So why don't we go for that pint now?

0:27:16 > 0:27:21- It's unlikely we'll do it in the future.- God, yes!

0:27:21 > 0:27:25We can make it really realistic. Like, um, you could drive me somewhere!

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Aye...mebbe I could.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35The equipment issue is serious, right?

0:27:35 > 0:27:38The worst one I heard was a guy that had to bring his own spade

0:27:38 > 0:27:39and he never got a rifle.

0:27:45 > 0:27:49- Where have you been? - I've been showing Rupert what a laugh the Army is.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52Jacko, where's Rupert?

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Don't know.

0:27:54 > 0:28:00- Probably oot enjoying himself, Gary, you know what these students are like.- Is he deid?- Naw.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02- No, seriously, though - is he deid? - Naw.

0:28:02 > 0:28:07Right. That's a' right, then. Right, let's go. Home, James, please, Gary.

0:28:19 > 0:28:26Hi, Pasty? Yeah. They're amazing, amazing lads, yeah. No, that Jacko,

0:28:26 > 0:28:29joker to the max, right?

0:28:29 > 0:28:31Yeah, yeah, yeah, fantastic time.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Fantastic. OK, OK. Well, I'll see you at Chris...

0:28:37 > 0:28:38Bye!
