    I can think of two noteworthy RN surrenders in recent years, one of which was when they surrendered to the Argies so i think your comment a tad inaccurate

    Of course I meant the Argentinian politicians you tit, who else decided to invade in the first place? Just because I don't find the deaths funny, does not mean I think we should have not defended the Falklands.
    Well then, be a tad less ambiguous in future and we'll avoid a blue-on-blue.

    And those pegs by the door? They're for hanging your waterproofs on, not your sense of humour.
    There is no question so obviously stupid that it prevents one supposedly intelligent human from asking it of another.

    Likewise, there is no human problem that cannot be solved by the correct application of the appropriate quantity of high explosive, the suitable quantity being derived by the Formula P, where P = "plenty"

    Let's not forget that in some Argentine naval air base tonight there'll be a squadron having a little dinner and raising a glass to the man who put an exocet into Sheffield.

    Nice to see an Argentinian practicing the military skills they took to the Falklands - running away and lying down in surrender.

    I take your point, I shall rephrase then,

    Johny Foreigner and the Royal Navy does lots of thing we don't do including surrender. Unless you count that whole incident with that little debacle with the Irish and the west side boys. That aside we are better than the Argies and if you dont agree with me I will have to give you the biggest insult any British man can give to another, I shall not offer you a cup of tea and refuse to shake your hand after the cricket sir!!!

    So, you've never been to a Waterloo dinner night then? No Crimea celebrations, no Cambrai, no Arras ball?

    Erm... not to put too fine a point on it but I did not realize it was the Royal Navy in command at Saratoga, Yorktown, Singapore and Hong Kong?
    "A democracy cannot survive as a permanent form of government. It can last only until its citizens discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority (who vote) will vote for those candidates promising the greatest benefits from the public purse, with the result that a democracy will always collapse from loose fiscal policies, always followed by a dictatorship." Lord Thomas MacCauley 1857
