[tinytottles]

Im so proud to be british!!!!

[clones234]

Thunderbird 1 to the Coldstream Guards that was F.A.B over :D

[lighteningBlitz]

Thunderbirds for the win

[PhilThompsonsNose]

I'm not some mental BNP, goose stepping fascist. But, I do rather love my country. Little things like this just make me proud

[readerofminds]

This is why I am glad to be British :D

[ViDeOMaStErPaUl]

Did you guys know that the 1st ever thunderbird film made in the the 80's and the Royal Marines band playing the theme tune as the credits.

[TheMadamcod]

@ViDeOMaStErPaUl Actually the first one was made back in 1968 I think but you are correct with the end theme.

[TheTerradon1]

The Royal Guards is made up of 5 foot regiments Grenadier ,Coldstream , Scottish ,Welsh , Irish Guards also there is the household cavalry made up of 2 distinct regiments the Blues and Royals and The Life Guards and i think there is also a detachment of Royal Artillery but im not quite sure

[ragerancher]

@TheTerradon1 5 foot regiments? Pretty small people then :D

[mjhartlebury]

lady Penelope = the queen

[ViDeOMaStErPaUl]

The song kicks ass just like our boys :D

Imagine how hard it is for them not to tap their feet along with the beat. Incredible discipline

[Andi090386]

@mikester1290 Scott & Thunderbird 1 would be doing the Searching from the Air

Virgill, Brains, Allan & Gordon would be in Thunderbird 2 with somesort of heavy rescue equipment. Jeff would be keeping an eye on things fromTracy Island, whilst John could keep an eye on Weather Forecasts & seismic activity from space.

And Lady Penelope would enjoy her English Cup of Tea made by Parker

[mikester1290]

I wish International Rescue were there for the Japs right now, we all know they'd bust out some kinda awesome gear just for that kind of eventuality.

Thuderbirds are go!

[jetboatjoe7]

@mikester1290 thats a lovely thought and the Japs love Thunderbirds too

[tillj005]

F.A.B Virgil! Thunderbirds are go

[jimbobjimminy]

F.A.B

[f1baker]

I bet Gerry Anderson had no idea that the mining disaster that inspired the idea of thunderbirds would turn into one of the most popular tv shows of all time, best music of all time as well. Roll on the long over due remake with the man himself at the helm!

[SnorkyO]

Can't beat the British guards!

[lurcherlongdog]

This is pretty good. Obviously the Royal Marines did it slightly better.

[ANDYSteele100]

cant beat the royal marines! best band ever!

[drhouse247]

F.A.B. Thunderbirds are go!

[CHRIS90ANDES]

The best. I bet Gerry Anderson is knighted by HM herself, i mean, they are using his theme song! I'de die to meet him.

[EddieTheFishReturns]

They work hard and they play hard. Carry on, Gentlemen! 

[RechterMaasoever010]

Great music. Absoluty magnificent.

[tobit100]

That great theme by the great composer Barry Gray lives on!

[commanderkruge]

This has ... class. :D

[Scheffie88]

My brother used to have this Thunderbird-island, with a moving swimmingpool that hid the TB1, and the palmtrees actually bended away to make room for TB2!!! Good times ;P

[Duresthar]

@Scheffie88 You mean the Tracy Island thing? I used to have one too, I think some fool snapped part of the palm tree though. I think we still have it lol, probably worth quite a lot.

[TheKneekap]

@Duresthar yeah i had one of those lol, apparently theyre quite rare nowadays

[ViDeOMaStErPaUl]

@Duresthar I got one too and its in my attic

[Englandfan89]

YES!!!!!

[davo1193]

F.A.B

[gurubahb]

F.A.B!!

[LiamTheGreat]

if I was prime minister, I would make this the English national antheme

[gorrammit]

I always considered Thunderbirds to be boring and cheesy (though i never really sat through an episode), but after hearing the Royal Marines recording of this song...wow, such an awesome piece

[Legolas15989]

Awsome FAB

[berlinmitte10117]

The Brits have class, pure and simple.

[Trek001]

we do indeed

[LANDYMAN090]

@berlinmitte10117  to right we do.... :)

[marquoth]

@berlinmitte10117 It really helps that we don't take ourselves too seriously. I mean, you have the biggest empire in human history and somehow balls it up completely... all you can do then is laugh at yourself :-D

[ViDeOMaStErPaUl]

@marquoth no the 2 world wars left us with no money and a fucked economy we had no choice but to disband it along with the other empires.

[GamePadVader]

@berlinmitte10117 Don't you mean the English?

[goldanima]

@GamePadVader Nope, it is Brits. England is just a country within the United Kingdom of Great Britain

[GamePadVader]

@goldanima I already know where England is, I live there, but I thought you were referring just to the Royal Guards in your first comment instead of everyone. Just thought you were doing the thing that Americans do where they think that everyone in Britain is English. No offence to any Americans reading this btw!

[berlinmitte10117]

@GamePadVader No - the British

[ViDeOMaStErPaUl]

@GamePadVader The Royal Guards are formed by many different regiments in the British army. For example this year at the trooping of the colour a Scottish Regiment wore the Guard uniform.

[pyro999maniac]

@ViDeOMaStErPaUl all the regiments were at Trooping the Colour (the foot guards are part of the Household Division which has 5 foot guard regiments, Welsh, Irish, Scots, Coldstream and Grenadier and two cavalry regiments, The Blues And Royals and The Life Guards. It was the Scots Guards turn to troop their Colour

[GORFF987]

Perfect!

[FOCASILVIO]

[Tiberiusduck]

[vawlkee51]

[jason123456789210]

[GoldenLioness100]

[asbornbros]

[Spizania]

Yes, this is real, Thunderbirds are Go is a commonly used peice, especially among the Royal Marines :)

[aa209999]

When I was at the guards depot during training we were made to go to a concert.. we all expected the worst, classical rubbish etc . they started to play classical and we all groaned .. then the conductor threw away his music book and said "sod this".. they played every tv theme you could think of.. hawai five 0 etc and it was a great night.. they are first class

[hally13uk]

awesome as hell.

[wikikomoto]

[yoy0hustler]

[admiralkirov648]
