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?

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.

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

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 😉
