            'ok, for 200 rounds of .762 and a phosphorus grenade, which D sang the times they are a changing'

            'er, Bob Dylan ??'

            'Correct'

            'Er a G please Bob'

            'For a respirator, 2 pounds of semtex and a tin lid, which G is an expert and a master of the subject'

            'er, Grognard ??'

            'Correct, and thats a Line so you are this weeks Champion - you leave tonight with enough weaponry and hardware to make Princess Di rotate in her resting place'
