He was at sea. A normal day in the RN.I didnt see the need frankly. Land forces, air , of course. Boarding ships looking for smuggled goods. A 'tour' Not so much.
Deportivo Seagull He would of perished If I was his only hope. We were rammed by both of the feckers. Thor went for ram on us earlier in the week, but we turned in time and she scraped along our side. I was on the signal deck and the attempt resulted in me getting drenched to the skin by the...
Cod war scared the shit out of me :lolol: The thought of ending up in the water with a life expectancy of 3 minutes didnt fill me with joy. We were rammed by the Aegir, resulting in the only casualty of the 'war', some poor sod on the Aegir getting killed, and us limping home.

When I see you level the same criticism to overseas Brexit supporters, and the like, I wont consider you a hypocritical halfwit, and will just consider you a halfwit.
You believe that when displaying virus synptoms and driving 260 miles through the country, to his elderly parents (Something millions of people avoided doing due to government stipulatons, particulary involving young children) that its ok and is just something to do with an 'agenda'? Tory MP's...
As I mentioned the other day, my elderly mother is beyond furious. She votes Tory, as she believes they will deliver an old fashioned sense of truth, and integrity, and neither is being displayed by these chancers. It amazes her, and even more so myself, that there are people defending this...
