Boom! (Oops…)

I’ve just read that the 1995 Nato bombing of Bosnia and Herzegovina was codenamed Operation Deliberate Force.

Which is fine in itself, but it does sort of have bad implications for all the other military actions. You’ll note that we hardly ever hear about Operation Accidental Violence, Operation Mistaken Bombardment, Operation Blind Lashing Out At Anything and Operation Which One Of You Bastards Spilled My Pint, Come On, I’ll Take You All On.

You read disturbingly like a Tom Freeman I knew at Parkside many years ago. He was a top chap; if none of this makes any sense, have an obscure compliment...

Let me try a seriously wild guess...

Lewis?

Nope. 'Tis I, the sometime patent holder on naughty words.

Are you still in touch with young master Welham, by the way?
