Hehehehe... a little close to the truth, maybe! I'm getting married two
weeks today, a small family do in my step-mum's back yard (no real big
deal, 2nd time for both of us, and I'm already 48). Anyway, my
step-mum's having a garage built in the back of her property right now,
and as of today, the yard is littered with huge piles of excavated dirt.
It'll be gone by then, but my VERY FIRST thought was to dig in a
fighting position, reinforce it with sandbags and have a couple of guys
in there with a Bren and a PIAT!

My step-mum looked at me like I'd gone off my rocker. Fortunately, my
Intended knows better (after 10 years of putting up with me already)...

Ah well, old habits never die...

:-)
