  Taliban insurgents blew up a lorry packed with Christmas turkeys bound for British troops in Afghanistan.
  Christmas cheer was put under threat when the frozen birds were destroyed in an explosion en route from Pakistan to Camp Bastion.
  The consignment of turkey roll breasts weighing 325kg was intended for troops stationed at Britain's main base in Helmand Province, where up to 3,000 soldiers will spend the festive season.
  I am surprised that the cargo wasn't airlifted in to the camp.

  Well done Brian. You've actually managed to come up with a pun that completely and utterly fails on every level, conceptually and linguistically.
