I was modifying a Svendborg pipe when my wife came and told my about a very interesting film that was about to watch, she told me something about and building and hostages but in the begining i didn't pay too much attention because i was glueing.

"On which side are we?
With those with badges and guns, the others must be the bad guys
But there aren't wearing any badges, only black uniforms and have automatic guns
They have a name on their back? FSB-FBI-POLICE...something?
No..oh they wearing gas masks and speak english
There will be SAS members and the embassy must be the Iranian back in 1980
We are with english soldiers? after what they have done to us here and in Cyprus?
These are like Police units, now they are the good guys
They will attack to Iranians?
No these inside the embassy are not like the today's Iranians, back then had a Shah and were not fanatics
Oh...Pesrians then
Watch for a guy with a curved moustache, is McAleese he wad a house here in Thessaloniki
He was living in Greece?
Yeah, his son Paul died in battle and his heart couldn't manage to accept it and passed away here in his residence in Greece
Oh..sad, very sad"

My good friend, Paul, lived in Thessaloniki for several years while working for the Army Defense Language Institute.
He and his team were intercepting radio transmissions and translating for Intelligence.

Hello, not a good morning for me. I didn't slept well last night cause i had to visit a repair shop for my motorcycle [which means unexpected expenses] and Rocky [my canary] has voice hoarseness.

A real treat this morning … 1960's era 5 Brothers in an MM Legend.
This older version is darker and more fragrant than the current rendition … almost hints of a Semois flavor.
