Agence France-Presse reports that Britain is approaching France with the idea of sharing the new carriers with them. Given how hard it is to get hedge trimmers back, I can imagine the scene in Whitehall if Argentina makes another grab for the Falklands while it's Paris's turn with the hulls. Can't we do something more sensible like sharing the dole recipients or the NHS bureaucracy with the Frenchies?Somewhere, the shade of Cochrane is doing a spit take.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
