    If you look at the bigger picture Hefty you'd see that there were the flags of a dozen nations there and a thousand other ships.

    The American ships turned up late for the battle. Again. Only to fire at its own ally.

    Another American blue on blue!

    Yeah I have no idea what the context of the picture is but I thought it looked like the American ship had opened fire on a friendly ship. Hardly a proud moment.

    I doubt we were friendly at that point mate.

    Just pulling Hefty's strings. He's still a tad sensitive to criticism of Trumpy.

    Interesting reading up on that picture. War of 1812. A small fry war. Barely a blip in our history by the looks of it, We were much more busy with the Napoleonic wars with the rest of the world. It's not much to cling to in the 'look how big our country's dick is' competition yanks can't help but try to play constantly.

    It's hard to see but I thought there was a man and woman chilling out at the stern of the British ship and with it not being side on it's not in an aggressive position but I dunno. I'm no history buff as you can probably tell.

    That's a shame, should have been able to give the snowflakes a bit of what they have been giving out recently, but they will only attack when its 10 to 1 and they have their faces well covered.

    Had a dream last night that I was playing some mad Sensible World of Soccer and Championship Manager hybrid. Proper enjoying it, just started looking through potential transfer targets then I woke up. That moment, a second later, when I realised that I was never to play such a game? Gutted!
