Philb, it was attacked by the Japanese during the War so maybe they dropped a few cards whilst trying to land !



Okay, maybe not !

Mr. Bus, was that before or after John Wayne liberated the island single handedly?

Ajnabii - Who also heard that Paul Mcartney was in a band before "wings".... can't remember the name.
