MonkeyLibFront posted:I'm very HMS Brenda has gone beyond her sea trials and is on the last steps of operational trials hence the launch of an F-35B from the flight deck while she's berthed at Portsmouth before Christmas, she should be combat ready by the autumn. HMS Bastard Offspring's about three years behind

at this thread thinking we'll be involved in a conflict with Iran, The British Army and Military in general are in a sorry state post warfighting in Afghanistan and cuts from the current Tory government. We committed 43k troops for Iraq 2.0 we were roughly over the 100k mark, we are down to around 72k troops but that counts people who haven't even done their trade training. We don't have the capability to add anything decent with our current commitments around the globe, QE is still on sea trials and doubt it could be pushed forward.

Nah, you can definitely use Brenda for use as an amphibious transport dock for land troops to deploy via chopper if they wanted, the hanger's big enough and can be configured for it. It would just be a loving pointless exercise

Private Speech posted:By the crowing of right-wingers in the D&D chat thread (and here I guess) it doesn't seem exactly like a victory against nazis. Actual thread is in the comedy goldmine, but is linked in this thread here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3909824&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 Alas, PPJ has nuked almost all of the linked images therein, but they may be re-hosted in there somewhere

I thought it looked familiar and a quick google confirms that yes, that fight in the kebab house where the guy carries on eating as everyone kicks off happened about a ten minute walk from my house, and I've even ordered kebabs from the kebab house on the opposite side of the road from it

my favourite travel memory was being delayed in Detroit due to a mechanical issue, the part needed to fix it being in Atlanta and shipping of the part to Michigan being delayed by a thunderstorm in the Atlanta area, and seeing Brits going up and complaining about the delays on their connecting flight

Police in still treating football fans like it's the 1980s shocker, though it's laughable that the one source they had for potential trouble was essentially "I heard from so and so who heard from so and so"

Just watched someone reverse out of the end of the Fratton McDs drive thru queue because it was too long, park up and go inside only to then turn around and leave because he couldn't wait to use on of the self service tills and being second in the queue at the actual till was too much
