Rule Britannia

[gulliver1]

Seems like Britain is having trouble ruling the waves these days.

Aircraft carriers breaking down and having to return to port from NATO exercises Submarines that can't fire missiles as they go plop into the sea ..And Now a fresh embarrassment as HMS QE catches fire while it was in dock being repaired.Bet NATO and Putin are laughing their socks off.

[gulliver1]

Don't know why the UK bothers building these aircraft carriers when they  ain't got any aircraft to put on them.

Mr NiceBloke 15.12 Think I ought to give you best answer for that reply But I might get shot down in flames for doing so .

[nicebloke1]

Gully, Shapps is considering cardboard cutouts to mount on deck that will scare the life out of Putin. Not sure if the cardboard police officers put an end to shoplifters, hang no it got worse.

Mr NiceBloke 15.28 Think if Grant Shapps put cardboard cutouts of Boris on the carriers That would definitely scare the life out of Putin.

Mr NiceBloke @ 15.12 Have put my tin hat on and decided to give  you Best Answer..

[nicebloke1]

Isn't it strange how gulliver1 complains that people doesn't use his proper user name but he doesn't use other people's proper ones on a number of posts to this thread and others and doesn't make a fuss when he and nicebloke1 use gully or mr nicebloke when they are not their user names.

[gulliver1]

Mr Shedman @ 18.00. I think you may have a problem .Maybe myself and the very learned Mr NiceBloke can advise you .

[Peter Pedant]

chrissakes shedman - what is in a name? ( shakey I think). My secret is - -- my name isnt really Peter

[retrocop]

Difference is PP that theshedman does'nt stir the brown and sticky stuff unlike Gulliver who cries like an infant to his school teacher or your fave mods

18.24 ..Oh dear the A/B..RBO has been resurrected.

[AnOtherMod]

Here's a clue - both for retrocop  and gulliver1 - I haven't done a lot of moderating on this thread so far - but my patience with your schoolyard antics and whiny sniping is getting very frayed.

Please grow up and behave civilly - both of you. If Peter Pedant would like to have one of his occasional 'lucid posting' moments, then that would be lovely too.

[theshedman]

AnOtherMod, the problem arises from gulliver1 complaining earlier in this thread on one of the two posts removed that he objects to people not using his proper username.  Then he continues to do the same thing himself.  Now either it applies to everyone or to no one.  Peter Pedant, "chrissakes shedman - what is in a name?" ask gulliver1 as it was him that complained about people not using his proper name not me or anyone else.  AnOtherMod "Please grow up and behave civilly - both of you" It's not retrocop that is behaving badly.

No answer from gulliver again, what a surprise

eh? I counted two posts from gulliver before that complaint and another dozen after. Why do people make this stuff up?

[newmodarmy]

jno- i don't think the comment was made up.

the unanswered question was "Is where you live part of NATO or to you hope that others will fight your battles for you?"

He has every right to ignore it of course .

[gulliver1]

19.53 Not sure if Timbuktu is part of NATO.

[newmodarmy]

There's as much chance of getting a sensible answer on that one as there is of him posting a link or using copy and paste.
