Just saw this rather unexpectedly sail past my window (image not mine).

They have about 35 minutes to reactivate Belfast's guns otherwise in London we'll all be eating garlic and shrugging a lot.

I don't mind as long as they've brought some nice cheese and wine.

But would it fly as well?


I mean, no point sending in the FAA without being able to fly.

Give our FAA some sharp sticks and some of them there rafts and no doubt our sovereignty will reign supreme.

Update, after they sneakily sent a scout ship into English waters we have declared war on the French and we will be fighting them on a field in Belgium tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. - http://www.1815.be/

Reinacting the Battle of Waterloo, I predict a win.

Go Old Nosey!

I was working from home today (may be all week tbh, we're moving office and I don't see much reason to be around getting in the way) and the buggers sailed past the opposite way, definitely training the CCTV you can't see in that image that's at the top of their mast on me. I think they must have been hoping desperately for a glimpse smile
