It’s the ultimate dinner-party quiz question and for Prime Minister Gordon Brown it would be a "Chequers Steak Pie” served to Scottish athlete Eric “Chariots of Fire” Liddell. But TV presenter Fern Britton would serve a warm and tasty gooseberry crumble to all the injured servicemen and women and the people who help them get their lives back on track. The Prime Minister and his political rival David Cameron join a list of more than 80 celebrities, politicians, celebrity chefs, sporting heroes, war veterans and serving military personnel to reveal the food they would serve up to their personal heroes in new charity cookbook Food For Heroes (http://www.foodforheroes.co.uk). After witnessing the plight of wounded soldiers in Iraq, Squadron Leader Jon Pullen returned from his tour of duty in Basra and decided he wanted to help servicemen and women like them. He founded an enthusiastic team of service people who set about asking more than 100 celebrities and servicemen and women what would you feed your hero? Published by independent publisher Accent Press Ltd (http://www.accentpress.co.uk) to coincide with the first Armed Forces Day on June 27, 2009,Food For Heroes (http://www.foodforheroes.co.uk) is the cookery book equivalent of the X Factor chart-topping single Hero.

Learning with Quick Reads on the Rock by Andy Mcnab
Learning with Quick Reads Bite-sized books by bestselling authors On the Rock by Andy McNab About the book This is the call he is always ready for. They’ve had word of a planned attack. That’s why he’s back here, opposite some suit who’s trying to tell him what he needs to do. But he knows exactly what’s required. Four men. Plain clothes. Eyes peeled. Three targets. Two cases. One car. Gibraltar isn’t an ideal location. Too many people. Too many blind alleys. But then again, he’s not the terrorist. Who knows what goes through their minds? Well, he will soon. If everything goes to plan. About the author As a troubled teenager, Andy McNab kicked against society. As a young soldier he waged war against the IRA in the streets and fields of Northern Ireland. As a member of 22 SAS he was at the centre of secret operations for nine years – on five continents. During the Gulf War he commanded Bravo Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his commanding officer, ‘will remain in regimental history for ever’. Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army’s most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS.

The Hard Routine Jason Dougherty
CrossFit Journal Article Reprint. First Published in CrossFit Journal Issue 69 - May 2008 The Hard Routine Jason Dougherty In Andy McNab’s bestseller Bravo Two Zero, a book about a famous British SAS mission in Iraq, the commandos use the term “hard routine” to describe their mindset, focus, and seriousness when at work. When they step into an actual mission, crossing the line of departure, they say that they go on the “hard routine.” From that moment on, the rules are strict, the focus is singular, and all available resources are brought to bear with an intensity that is necessary for success. When they’re on the hard routine, there is no room for selfishness, indulgence, compromise, or distraction. This principle is required in special operations missions, where toughness, determination, and discipline are required for success and, often, survival.
