HMS Sabre is such an awesome name for such a wimpy boat.

[QUOTE=davidrb18;42919047]Gibraltar should be spanish and the falklands should be argentinian.[/QUOTE] And Konigsberg should be German again and Canada should be French again and the Europe should be Roman again. They captured it, it's theirs.
[QUOTE=maxumym;42919162]And Konigsberg should be German again and Canada should be French again and the Europe should be Roman again. They captured it, it's theirs.[/QUOTE] Not only that but they want to remain as they are.
We should have disabled the surveying robots through force if they refused to leave.

[QUOTE=viperfan7;42919268]Not only that but they want to remain as they are.[/QUOTE] Plus (in this case anyway) the Spanish [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Utrecht]handed it over to the British.[/url]
sounds terrible, but no matter what whenever the British navy is ever mentioned I just imagine a bunch of old wooden warships for a split second.
[QUOTE=davidrb18;42919047]Gibraltar should be spanish and the falklands should be argentinian.[/QUOTE] A bit rich coming from a Frenchman don't you think?
[QUOTE=Ogris;42917106]They'd rack up a fair bit of OE though. The rest of the EU would be knocking on their front door within a month.[/QUOTE] They should have cores on Gibraltar though.

It's part of the commonwealth, that's enough for us I think. Don't want the Americans to treat us like Canadians.

Long live Leif the Lucky!
If you guys don't knock it off, America is going to claim it as theirs. You don't want that....

[QUOTE=davidrb18;42919047]Gibraltar should be spanish and the falklands should be argentinian.[/QUOTE] France belongs to the UK because its the closest land mass to it therefore it must mean that we own it.

[QUOTE=chedobson;42915445]Rule of Spanish/Argentinian politics: If the economy is tanking yet again, draw attention to the nearest British settlement instead![/QUOTE] They should try this: "let's have our economy so strong they will just give their land to us" or buy the place
Hey Spain, if you want Gibraltar back, why don't you give all those disputed North African territories back to Morocco? [t]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Mapa_del_sur_de_Espa%C3%B1a_neutral.png[/t]

The spanish people always use an excuse but it is the same logic at the end of the day. Also we have the right to vote for who we go to. So removing that will remove our right to self-determination.

It would probably sink if it was put in the water again, but it's pretty amazing that they kept it in such shape for so long. Lots of repairs and renovations. Was hit by a fuck ton of cannon balls in the battle of Trafalgar, 80+ in one particular spot. Bombed in WW2, and that son of a bitch is still there
