Not many chances to praise the Froggies, but hey hey did it right this time! BGB's all round!
Ok better add a question..... err, is the Geezer going soft?

[Gromit]

They got it right, but how could they possibly have got it wrong?

A couple of skiffs, pirates with rifles against against an armour plated battle ship. Only going to be one winner.

And yes, the Geezer is a closet pinko, as has been established before.

[R1Geezer]

yes Gromit, but normally the French would have surrendered as a precaution.

Yep, gone all Pinko, better join the Lib dems!

How dumb were they?

OK it's not bristling with guns like a WWI battleship but you'd have thought the grey paint and numbers on the sidewould have been a hint

[R1Geezer]

yes well they've definately gone to the bottom of the pirates' preformance ratings. Perhaps they saw the French flag and thought they'd have a go!
