Apparently it was won either by a 'Blue Team' or a 'Red Team'. At least it will be for the replay according to BBC lunchtime news and confirmed by a Navy spokesman (sorry spokes person).

Is there nothing whatsoever that doesn't fall to the PC brigade?

This surely is ludicrous, someone pray tell me Trafalgar Day isn't on April First.
 
Did you see Wm Hague on Have I Got News?
Referring to this story, he added " the cheese eating surrender monkeys are in the red team".
Looks like he wont be standing for leadership then.

Total cr*p isn't it ?


How can you have pride in your country when your are not allowed to celebrate or correctly remember an important event in our history.


Utter nonsense
 
Falls into the same category as councils cutting down fruit trees in streets in case someone slips on the fruit and sues..
 
Reminds me of the definition of a committee - "a cul-de-sac down which good ideas are lured before being mugged."

And that's even using a French word....

And before anyone says my surname is French - it's from Jersey (no comments from Depsol, please!)
 
Apparently when Lord N travelled up the Thames recently he was in full regalia plus a lifejacket.

Wonder if he has one that has automatic inflator or has to have Hardy pull it for him!

Politically correct to have one eye patch too. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
Breaking News....Fog in Channel,continent cut off from civilisation.

This gives D.Mail readers(and others) a reason to live and keeps them harmlessly ranting up blind alleys and otherwise occupied while the rest of the sentient world gets on with life. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Silly isn't it? Tony Blair can insult the French about CAP (quite rightly too) but we have to tread on egg shells about something that happened 200 years ago.
 
I'm looking forward to 2015 for the Waterloo 200 celebrations. Wonder what they will come up with for that?
BTW Did you hear the Today prog when Chirac had just finished his anti UK rant? They then went to a re-enactment of Waterloo in Belgium.
 
The French seem to love Waterloo, very good at emphasising how they cleverly split the Allies and then spent almost the whole day winning the battle only (in the small print) to be desperately unlucky when it went to penalties after extra time. One French account confidently describes Wellington as "the worst general on the field".
 
I've always understood that the reason the French lost at Waterloo was Boney's big problem with his piles. I have seen it writ that if Anusol had been invented in 1815 we would all be speaking French by now.
I think I first saw it here, but this is worth repeating: visit Google and type in Famous French Victories. Then click on I'm Feeling Lucky...
