I agree about BHD being a better book, so maybe you'd want to save the best for last and go with Andy McNab's book (its a quick read anyway).
Regarding that, a friend of mine hated B20 due to the generous use of Limey colloquialisms.
ie:
"We had a Leo Sayer", which is meant to say:
"We had an all day - er", which really means:
"We spent the whole day drinking."
or,
"We had a bit of Barney.", which is meant to say;
"We had a bit of trouble." but since 'trouble' rhymes with 'Rubble', that makes it funny in the eyes of the same culture that brought us the Tele-tubbies..
Those were just examples. However one of the odd sayings in Bravo 20 that still has me utterly baffled was one tha Andy used several times and that was: [b]"...and the next thing you know, Bob's your uncle."[/b]
Other than the fact I'm pretty sure it meant somebody was getting waxed, does anybody know what the hell he was talking about?
