    Reluctant as I am to ease back into this parade of cretins, I've really got to correct this one.

    It was the Royal Navy that received the kicking, not the Air Force. It's easy to tell the difference. The Royal Navy is in charge of the big metal things that float on that really big blue wobbly thing. The Royal Air Force is it charge of the smaller metal things that fly through the airy substance where the sun and moon live.

    If I can clear anything else up, just ask.

      Carry on.

      It is quite a novelty to have a British equivalent of MWHC

        That was my mistake.

              Sometimes I sit and think "Now what is it I have against the idea of nation states?"

              Then I look at threads like this and remember. They're a complete waste of time and cause the most pointless and petty arguments imaginable.

                Yea sure, it takes more than a bunch of greasy dagos to defeat our fine armed forces, who were sent without adequate air cover, supplies and were really only there to ensure election victory for Maggie.
                Of course you were also backed up by US intelligence assets

                But Britain WAS the only country besides the US that could've pulled it off - speaks volumes about the rest of the world, eh?

                  Because Morocco doesn't deserve them. We deserve Gibraltar though!

                    You ignorant **** why don't you look at the facts... Spain is the fastest growing economy in the EU.
                    That's not what the Irish say...and it's only growing so fast as you recieve money from the EU.

                      Good argument. I'm convinced.

                        Well that is what my little sources say. Maybe besides the Irish. Anyways, you mean investments... not just money... and do you see us complaining?

                        Yup, you see how solid and non-biased my arguments really are?

                          *breaks into song*

                          The natives are restless tonight, sir
                          Cooped up on estates with no hope in sight
                          They need some kind of distraction
                          We can give them that
                          And they'd kill if they only had something to kill for
                          They's die if they only had something to die for
                          They'd cheer if they only had something to cheer for
                          We can give them that
                          So it's off to war we go (I couldn'tbelieve it)
                          Bring out all the flags (I never believed it)
                          Fight the good fight

                          Sir, it's working like a dream
                          Half the nation are hooked on the bait
                          Waiting for the next victorious instalment
                          We can give them that
                          'Cos it's no surprise that young men are heroes
                          It's no surprise that young men are strong
                          It's no surprise that young men are foolish
                          We've known that all along
                          Exciting pictures on News at Ten (I couldn't believe it)
                          - Read all the crap on all the front pages (I never believed it)
                          Fight the good fight

                          Ch: - Dead men in the South Atlantic
                          It's meant to warm our hearts
                          They think that they died for you and me
                          Oh God, what a farce, what a farce

                          And now it's the repeats
                          Plugging the Falklands and the Falklands' spirit
                          Show the pictures again and again
                          'Till the next war comes around
                          'Cos we'll kill if we only have something to kill for
                          We'll die if we only have something to die for
                          We'll cheer if we only have something to cheer for
                          That is worthy of the name
                          Oh yes the next war (I never believed it)
                          See the propaganda in TV fiction (I never believed it)
                          Enemies with horns and tails

                          Ch: - Dead men in the South Atlantic
                          It's meant to warm our hearts -
                          To think they died for you and me
                          Oh God. what a farce
                          There's crippled men back home in England
                          Doesn't it warm your hearts
                          They think they fought for peace and freedom
                          Poor boys, what a farce, what a farce!
