A celebrity model who once portrayed the swashbuckling Lara Croft has been airlifted out of Iraq because she doesn’t like the toilets used by British forces. Nell McAndrew, 30, was given a helicopter ride Monday to Kuwait and a luxury hotel, from where she shuttled back into Iraq for morale-boosting pre-Christmas visits to British troops. "There was some difficulty over the toilets and showers," Squadron Leader Alison Simmonds, a spokeswoman at the British military base in Basra, southern Iraq, told Britain’s domestic Press Association news agency on Wednesday.
"She just couldn’t get the hang of squat ’n’ pop."

#10  Ha! I saw the pictures #2 linked to in a 1999 playboy. I must say, though, Shannon Elizabeth was in the same issue, so Ms. McAndrew was a little overshadowed. (Ms. Elizabeth, however, is a first-class moonbat.)

#9  All those plumbing fixtures we liberated from Saddam's palaces, and she has nowhere to go?

#8  I bet she is a real morale booster for the British troops. I'll give her a hand (or two) for that much. Do you think J-lo would do as much?

And what seems to be the problem with the toilet and showers? Not enough privacy (or room as someone said).

#4  Let me get this straight. They gotta fly her back and forth from Iraq to Kuwait when she needs to use the can?
And I thought JLo was bad...

#2  Oh, that Nell McAndrew... I see what you mean... There's something about women with guns. She should go down, uh, er, to Austrailia and buck up her comrades in charms.

#1  She probably couldn't fit into the showers. We ARE talking about a Lara Croft look-alike.
