Well, I'm sorry to say that there are another 10+ folders of instructions
here, along with 3-5 more of catalogues/sticker sheets, brochures and the like.
And as to Johny thunders...That was the 1st Battalion of the Royal
Brik-torian Regiment [safely returned to barracks.]

Yep, the 1st Battalion [there ARE more planned :) 3 more sounds good, along
with supporting armour, artillery, air, sea and space support...] of the
Royal Brik-torian Regiment are currently designing more assault transports
for future conflict resolution. They also plan on re-contracting ammunition
suppliers...
Hopefully in 'the re-settlement'[1] they'll have boosted their fire-power,
and maybe have another landing craft or two [with greaterr firepower....

Yep, We should all be home [or near] by now...for those heading south on the
Queen's birthday weekend, might I suggest arriving as a group at Young, and
asking at the toyworld about a clown...and look at the lego bus there. [I've
got pictures of the bus to come, but the clown had already come downstairs
once, and I missed seeing it. Paul, Ross or Martin may be able to provide
details.]

[1] Considering that the Welshishish were forced to flee their homeland [and
without thunderbird 1 I might add] they need to find a new area to colonize.
