When I had a punch removal of a mole (a molepunch) the surgeon let me have a good look at the removed plug of my own flesh, handing me the mole in a little sample jar. She knew.
Erm, the Falklands then... penguins sound like dirty bastards tbh. I prefer puffins and we have those much closer to home.
