Declan Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 8 minutes ago, Albert Tatlock said: Back - but no live calls. Why not? It got investigated - move on. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/stu-peters-is-back-but-live-calls-axed/ Stu's statement is that he asked for the removal of the call element. Setting aside this show, I think in general phone-in shows are usually crap now. I turn Five Live off whenever they go to phone ins, even 606. Question Time is pointless and never reaches a conclusion or resolution. Danny Baker used to be good because he would just say "tell us a story about the time..." and people would phone in and tell a funny story, but all this opinionated shit is the reason the World's in the mess it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really sorry to bring you this news, but Mr Arlott died, in 1991. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, too far removed from the public consciousness now. Gibraltar is where the action will be. The filthy Spanish trying to steal our rock!

(I appreciate the scenario was posted as a quip) Of course, you are correct. Spain would have the backing of the EU (and that European Army we were so keen to avoid) which would leave the UK with a few small ships, an aircraft carrier without any planes and aging submarines.

GreyWolf Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I but the Brits do like a rumble and don’t the European army tanks etc all have 5 gears, neutral and 4 in reverse? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And military assistance from the EU? Don't hold your breath. They might send their best wishes as they did to Italy over the pandemic. Best stick to shuffling paper around and issuing silly rules.

Spain has a total of three diesel-electric conventional submarines the newest of which is 34 years old. UK has 11 Nuclear subs the newest of which is less than three months old. Spain has one 26,000 ton amphibious assault ship ten years old, UK has two new 65,000 ton carriers currently conducting helo ops with fixed wing to follow. UK is a nuclear power, Spain is not.

woolley Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I don't know how we got from Stu Peters to an all out nuclear attack on Spain, but thanks for the chuckle, chaps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
