The Navy will be invading Spain and repatriating us all – just on Sky News.

Hurray, we're saved.

Except I'm stuck 3000 miles South of Spain, so they'll have to invade Africa to get me out….

Have the Spanish got an Armada together again or something?

But we will have to wait till the build the new aircraft carriers.

Aren't all our Navy off the North Coast of Scotland at present?

Hey footflaps,

Where in Africa are you?

If you happen to be in Ethiopia, come visit!

Manoeuvres are off because… the big scary planes might crash if they get dirty. Who'd have thought a war plane might have to fly through some smoke and ash?

A few conspiracy theories are already being banded around thanks to the timing of the Volcano and the largest NATO exercise in some years

These NATO exercises take place twice a year off the Scottish coast. There's nothing much special about this one.

uh huh

There were plenty of large RIBs going coastward on the M3 this evening. Entrepreneurial chaps, perhaps?

Dunkirk evac all over again. Anyone want to organise a flotilla of small boats.

It's a big "Non!" for the Dunkirk gig -> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8627922.stm

Dan Snow already tried to! As it happens, these were the self same RIBs I saw going towards Southampton on the M3 this evening. Obviously going home after a failed effort.

Sorry tootallpaul, I'm a bit further South in Douala, Cameroon… Still if this Armada is late, I might buy a bike and start riding back, so I'll stop off as I'm passing through 😉
