I found this little website and thought you might want to have a little look.

http://www.ghost-rider.filmstars.co.uk/

The site only has 3 links and you might need broadband if your going to click on those links.
The links are videos made by the British troops. I like the Amarillo video best.

Just think of all that tax payers money and this is what they get up to.

These are very large files to download.

Denis, it shows the military members playing around and generally making fools of themselves to pass the time. I am sure there are more conservative members of society that find it offensive to see soldiers trying to enjoy themselves in a combat zone.

I think I saw some news that these file downloads are a problem for the bandwidth of the DOD servers.

What it was, was that the troops were sending the video's to each other via email and crashed out the British army's computer system.

The main video that was being sent was the Amarillo video because it was number one in the British record charts and the troops had made a spoof video that was just as funny as the original.

The Amarillo video had a man (Peter Key look-a-like) walking (funny walk) through an army camp with some of his friends joining in and walking at the side of him. Some of the people doing the funny walk had guns and some were dressed like Arabs.

BTW i don't think the link to the website is working now. Well not at the moment anyway.
