Fortunately, finding, arming up and transporting large numbers of people willing to do this in the US is rather more difficult.

Oh boy, how I do miss Tesco. The ability to rock up at 2 am on a Friday night, completely sozzled, pick up a bottle of whisky and continue on to the next party. No seperate Liquor stores, no silly early closing times. Just a huge supermarket chain that caters for the budget of any late night partygoer...

Tinder. It's awesome.

Amazing writing as always mate.

You jest, but here in Oz we have crab racing with hermit crabs in pubs... It's awesome!

You disagree with the article: Freedom of speech

the blue orb is Uranus

I'm not well versed enough in that controversy, nor in the Israeli pressure to prevent the Saudis from getting new US kit (although, that's something I could sympathise with - no-one wants active top line kit not controlled by a stable government in the middle east). I'm sure the F35 would be their preference but…

The Saudis, Singapore and South Korea are not very good examples to compare to Britain - any potential adversaries for those nations are unlikely to field any kind comparable weapon system over the next few decades (apart from perhaps China for South Korea)- and none would operate without the US's security umbrella.…

I disagree on the F15 - it's an ageing platform that is not proofed against future issues. The Rafale is a different issue - getting full access to Rafale blueprints, allowing local build and support, not to mention resupply and on going upgrades - the French do not have a strong history of co-operation on these…

However, the idea that conflict with nations that did not continue to maintain and improve their aircraft inventories would arise is not?

I for one wholeheartedly applaud this decision.

To a certain extent, you're right. The UK spent an awful lot of money on planes, many of which will go into storage. However, the RAF turns out around 25 fast jet pilots a year, admittedly there's attrition, however, to suggest that there are in excess of 100 Eurofighters sat in a warehouse somewhere in Britain is a…

Or the CIA, or SOCOM. Awww jeez just declassify it already and put us out of our misery :)

It's always tough to critique your own work eh?

Considering how quickly you got this turned around, amongst the anticipation felt by all of us, I think a few typos can be overlooked. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to part 2.

I've been periodically refreshing for 4 days now :) Looking forward to it!

I've been lurking since you started this sub blog - Love it by the way! Finally found someone writing with the same interests as me, but also with great knowledge and the ability to educate. Great work mate!

Scarily, you're closer to the truth than you'll ever know!
