I, for one, had never researched broadband in the Falklands, thinking that sheep weren't truly internetz savvy. Skennah Kowa
A few years later they were in the middle of a full-blown war. Ever since when I see 'Falklands' their story comes back to my mind. About two months ago I was following a link and found out about broadband overthere.
BTW, today it's exactly 26 years ago (21 may 1982) the Brits landed again to free the sheep. The struggle of man against tyranny is the struggle of memory against forgetting.(Kundera)
But the Falklands were ours, the people who lived there were British and it was important to stand up for their rights and self-determination.
It's interesting how since then their feudal relationship with Britain has become more mature and they've displayed considerable entrepreneurial ingenuity and are now mostly rather ridiculously wealthy. keep to the Fen Causeway
Some of the books were good, especially a couple of Harrier jock biogs which didn't pull any punches.
The most popular seller turned out to be the story of the Vulcan run on Stanley from the UK, which all of the other books said had been a high profile but spectacular waste of time.
The one common story was of the after-effects - everyone was trained military, but no one seriously expected to shoot to kill, or to be shot at.
It left its mark. A lot of the Harrier jocks seem to have had mini-breakdowns afterwards.
