    "not many ways of putting it"? Seriously, I know you're not that stupid. "Peace in our time" is just another CN meme that has been overused to the point of being the subject of a blog entry. I know you can come up with another way to say a war is coming to an end....maybe "Cessation of Hostilities", or perhaps "Truce". It doesn't take a literary genius to come up with another way of stating that peace has been achieved.

    It's peace..what could anyone possibly want to do to make it sound better? Agreed, "cessation of hostilities" is a lot more formal and professional-sounding that "peace in our time" and "truce" hasn't been used in a while, if ever. But guys..

    It's peace.

    Peace.

    To be honest, we should never have commissioned those carriers in the first place, simply because we're not ready to keep them yet. Britain has been a naval-heavy nation since damn near the dawn of freakin' time, but that era ended years ago, when we de-colonised and dismantled our own empire. Since then, we've gone back to being a small nation trying to act big.

    We don't need carriers at this point in time, since we don't have a need to project power overseas. Number one on the milspec budget should have been all about defence of the realm- purchasing corvettes, subs, battleships, frigates, etc. We should have focused on rebuilding our home navy to pre-1939 standards, then allocating whatever money we had left to maintaining those ships. The ONLY way we should ever have bought an aircraft carrier (yes, I say bought not made- we are crap at constructing our own, I mean let's face it, the Queen 'Liz Class is !@#$e) is if World War Three is on the horizon...

    That being said, if we absolutely had to make them, we should have scrapped other stuff on the budget and focused the majority of the money on making GOOD carriers..then squandering the rest of it on the Nimrods, 'cos those we DO need.

    Heh.

    750k, 250k, heh. what's 200% really?

    the context is quite clear. there was a thread a little under a week ago where people either like or dislike a new alliance. now that alliance has fallen apart, the replies are funny.

    unless of course the issue is with c+p in which case what the $%&@.

    When you're starting out small, that 250/750k tends to come in wholly handy, Banksy.

    No, the context is way off the mark. Here's how it really was:

    Day 1: DoE, no mention of spies, Ana is defended against idiotic remarks.

    Day 2: Still no mention of spies and Ana continues in its progress.

    Day3: No mention of spies, Ana loses a member or two (Maximus & Amossio) over trivial issues (Really guys?) but the better members (Yes, I said better members, !@#$@#$ deal with it) forge ahead.

    Day 4: Conspiracy to spy is revealed to the majority of the group. Said group leaves, Incit attempts to clear up the mess but the damage is done, Anathema collapses.

    Not really a strict timeline of events, but that is the most accurate version thus far.

    You cannot fault us for supporting and defending Anathema when we had virtually zero idea of what had been decided beforehand. Anyone who tries to is trying far too hard and should stop before they suffer from a little-known disease called idioticolosis.
