I really must re-post the comment I made the other day about the cartoon in the Independent. It showed a split picture with Hague in one half and Cameron in the other, speaking to each other by phone. Hague says, "Should we send in a battleship to get our people out?" Cameron replies, "No, frigate." Hague goes on, "Oh well then, we won't bother."
(Just for you, C...Hague is our Foreign Secretary and Cameron our Prime Minister. In the phrase, frig it, the word is an alternative for the other f-word.)
