The Royal Navy are still hanging their heads in shame after they surrendered to an Iranian gunboat:

They surrendered in the Gulf while the other armed forces were conducting some heavy fighting in Afghanistan - the Army and RAF just won't let them forget it.

@Rip:

I already posted that story, actually on the same side.
The true story is far mor glorious, as the french are most successful
anti-pirate navy in the region. Others are just envious.

They're the most successful because they don't give a damn about sinking the buggers, unlike the Royal Navy, which appears to care more about the rights of the pirates. Unfortunately, this is what 'tolerance' gets you!

Wow, I guess this thread wasn't a complete failure after all. Nice spot. Not that anyone else will care...

Sorry for interrupting the anti-French spam with some random on topic post .

anyone mention Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys yet?

i think that was the phrase

picking on the french is a lot of fun and i'm no stranger to the effort, but few people know that the french are the ones who won most of their fights, ever

it's just that they lost a couple famous ones
(crecy, poitiers, agincourt, waterloo, trafalgar, vietnam, WW2, etc)
in between those, they won pretty much every fight they fought

unlike the english who lost most fights but won the few famous (and decisive) ones
I'm dutch and we learn all about our navy kicking the english one around on lots of occasions (De Ruyter sailing up the Chatham and all that) and then finally losing naval supremacy in the long run, which is no surprise for a tiny country and which is seen as logical rather than shameful
The English don't really learn about that, all they learn is that there were a bunch of fights with the Dutch and that the English won it in the end

interesting no?

anywho, anyone found any easter eggs yet?

the problem is the British rules of engagement. he did the right thing. attacking would have risked full out war with iran. if they're crazy enough to kidnap sailors they're crazy enough to go to war over that.
