As I recall wasn't the CPF programme originally going to be eighteen hulls and for a promised NATO commitment as well ? We stopped at twelve because the government of the day promised to buy some submarines for the navy. Sound vaguely familiar for some odd reason.

One of the things I find quite odd about the Brits divesting the AS 90 is the fact they want something with a bit more reach . You know something with a 52 calibre barrel. It's just that in 2010 or so they trialed a 52 calibre barrel on a AS 90. And said they didn't really see the need..,..huh...

The really funny part is how hard Ontario fought to get and keep Northern Ontario in the late 19th century. Manitoba and Ontario were scrapping over a huge section of territory. . It ended with the whole mess ending in front of the Law Lords in England deciding on it.

I was just was wondering if I could get one of my own . The wife's talking about clearing out the basement. And my back isn't what it used to be .

Wait, you have your own personal sailor ?

I want to watch when someone asks the question of what do we use them for during wartime to the powers to be. And for just for laughs include some of the people who signed off on building them in the first place I want to see their facial expressions as they attempt to explain. I suspect that...

It either that or they're digging hole searching for that missing pile of dirt.

Oh cry me a fucking river...

They finally got around to rebuilding our back lanes in our immediate neighbourhood after decades of saying they were on the to do list sometime in the far distant undefined future. Over a period of several years more the one vehicle suffered under carriage damage including at least one lost...
