  1. have we got any planes for our flat tops these days ?
     
  2. Not as yet, considering we as a nation rarely fight against any country with any meaningful warfare capability we may as well have stuck with the Harrier.

    Aren't they just pouncing about with copters on them at the moment

  8. The most entertaining thing about golf is riding on the green lane that cuts across the course at St Mellion.
    The "middle-class white men dressed as pimps" really hate it, but there's nothing they can do about it :D

  11. If they were parked in the Mull of Kintyre that would be Boris' bridge to Norn Irn sorted instantly - why has he not thought of that :thinkingface:
     

  12. Like the Battle Of Mboto Gorge ?

    Scene of a battle fought in 1892, variously called Umboto Gorge or Mboto Gorge.
    Revisionists would suggest that the Battle of Mboto Gorge was fought between the might of the British Army and the peace-loving Pygmies of the Upper Volta, and ended with the massacre of the Pygmies and theft of their fruit.
    However, the actual facts are that there were 10,000 Watusi warriors, armed to the teeth with Kiwi Fruit and Guava halves, a lethal combination in those far-off days.
    Notable among the brave acts that day was the saving of Gen Sir Douglas Haig from a viciously sharpened mango slice by none other than Capt E Blackadder of the 19/45th East African Rifles.
    The British Army did have special defence classes against natives armed with fresh fruit...
