There are only 12 living recipients. I met one once -

I did too; Captain Philip Gardner was a client. What an amazingly modest and wonderful gentleman. He never spoke about the war. See Wikipedia here for the full story:

Small world - I know The Doctor in our team has also met another of the 12...as an aside he also used to hang out with a famous Major from the Arnhem battle, who sadly died last year

I guess if they relaunched Warlord today it would have to be in brown paper bag with a parental advisory warning. Or maybe they would sell it in licensed violence shops with darkened windows full of men in overcoats  ;)

As they say in Warlord  code 3 "tyirg tyglpeud hjtusn".. 8)

I got in touch with them and got this...

I regret that the Channel Islands are not included in the EHIC
arrangement.

Regards


Nice...

Or indeed our corporation tax, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, car tax, road tax, council tax, air tax, value added tax, fuel tax, domestic heating fuel tax, national insurance tax, alcohol tax, cigarette tax, land fill tax, environmental tax, pension fund (dividend tax credit) tax, life assurance fund tax, air travel tax and many other sneaky underhand methods of fleecing us blind. Bastards. They take pretty much half of what you earn in a year in tax. And what do you get in return? f**ck all apart from the bins emptied, no NHS dentists, a three year waiting list for a hip op and a police station which is never open.

Incidentally, a stupid woman in a Fiesta ran into the back of Paul Zarse's Porsche at 40mph yesterday morning. There were not even any skidmarks as she'd failed to even touch the brakes. The police were on the scene like a shot and even before he'd recieved any medical assessment, the Police dragged him from the car, injured knee and all, and breathalysed him. It's for first class public services like that we pay our taxes I guess. Paul hadn't touched a drop by the way.

Same stereotypical assumption by the police Andy?  Wide boy in a fast sports car.  Probably speeding, probably pissed  ::)
