Is it bad every time I see/hear the phrase DLI I'm reminded of this
"(Terry is joking to the other prisoners about the Durham Light Infantry)
Terry Stokes: They found a whole barrack load of them stuck up each other... Sunk to the nuts, they were. They're gonna rename them - the Durham Bumpers. Ah, they do love an a**ehole, these Geordies!
(laughter)
Good linkage though Rog

You're not the only Steve, I'm the same, that film was one of the messdeck faves on the Orkney. "I hear they've found another daisy chain in the DLI."
