Cheers. I'm nicking that anecdote. Glad it was Chiraq, not Mitterand.
Mitterand liked us cos he had been in the Resistance. Even though he hated Maggie, when the Argies took the Falklands, he sent a secret mission to GB to tell us all the weaknesses they knew about the Mirage fighters and Exocet missiles.
Also, on the journey down, our Harrier pilots were practising against the cream of the French air force in Mirages.
So even though the Harriers had lower ranges, payloads and top speeds than the Mirage, the Argies had never seen a Harrier before, but our boys had been fake dog-fighting Mirages for the whole journey. Didn't lose a single one in a dog-fight with the Argies, only a couple of crashes.
The Septics wanted the Argies to win to shore up Reagan's Latino vote.
When Chiraq was mayor of Paris in the early '90s, my mates from Les Nomads, the first French free rave sound system, had the same coke dealer as Chiraq.
The dealer got caught with over 2 kg, yet when he went to court, he got a slap on the wrists.
