Tis true...I kid you not.


A French "invasion force" will land on a Hampshire beach on Saturday.

Anyone want to tell them that they're 947 years too late?


I suppose they've probably come to get their burgers back... :O:

The French are landing?

Don't worry, Russel Crowe and the northern barons are on it:

You mean this doesn't have anything to do with Gosport, Indiana?

I don't know but I don't think so. It's supposed to be Dover but I understand it was actually filmed in Wales.

You guys planning on sending the Foreign Legion to the Falklands this time? :D Wonder how much France rents them out for?

Meanwhile, the USN should be in the Bering Sea searching for gold. :salute:
