After passing the world's toughest Special Forces selection to get into D Squadron, 22 SAS, in 1979, Mark 'Splash' Aston thought he'd missed out on all the action. Too late to fight with the SAS in a decade long secret war in Oman, when terrorists then seized the Iranian Embassy in London in 1980 Splash missed out again when responsibility for the counter-terror role was passed to their comrades in B Squadron just weeks earlier. Then on April 2nd 1982 Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands.

"We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one." Confucius.Inspirational conversation about life death and everything in-between.

Perhaps when we have finally wrapped our slowly decaying heads around the last great taboo, we may make different choices... markedly different lives lived in a noticeably different way.
