I don't know if you beat Armand. Go back and check his posts from May when this happened. ;-)

It doesn't matter if you do: it probably wouldn't stop him posting it as it seems that he never reads other's posts and often repeats them (sometimes within hours or days).

But then, recently, he even repeated himself so…. it probably don't matter either way wink

How many warning shots are customary in the RN, before they start firing solid shot?

I suspect our subs don't carry warning torpedoes, so……

I've said it before… sooner or later a Spanish vessel illegally entering Gibralterian waters will need to be sunk before the Spanish get the message.

Their general behaviour at the border is occasionally quite awful.

Stu, I'm surprised at you for this type of statement!
Gibraltar is a trophy of Empire, which England doesn't feel the need to return.

Maybe not shooting, but perhaps what China has been doing to assert naval superiority. A well reinforced vessel doing a bit of bumping on Spanish intruders might remind them of where the established boundaries are.

We should send Boris Johnston to speak to them and it will also get him out of here for a while.

Spain are a bunch of hypocrites – they themselves have 2 cities in Africa that they have far less claim on than the treaty signed claim we have on Gib.

Those saucy Dons need to be taught a stern lesson!
Mister Bush, Mister Brown, please assemble a cutting out expedition.
We will use the bomb ketches.

Spain ought to be thanking the hell out of Her Majesty's Navy for stopping them making a horrible, horrible mistake.

Worth noting that the UK has ruled Gibraltar for longer than Spain ever did….

GarrisonMiniatures24 Aug 2016 2:11 a.m. PST

What difference does that make? Argentina has never ruled the Falklands…

Permission for all ranks to wear their new pimp hats as well, sir?

Granted.
