indeed...we have 'units' patrolling the straits to escort UK shipping through.....the threat is as real as it gets...just not reported

you just don't get it.....iran will effect you without having to bomb your house.......regardless of what the UK or the US have done years ago.....

probably the most sensible answer to all this know it all guff.....

you are right, and such a simplistic question deserves such a simplistic answer....they should not have nukes because they are bad.. there you go

it simply is not though.....really

don't think anyone does...if they did they would be mental....

not really, my work involves this region....i talk about and discuss it daily....so no, not really......trust me, there are plenty of issues that are simply not for this forum and I cant say

you think that everything is black or white.........its one big huge game...you just think that should Iran act aggresively we will 'smash' them.......why 'take it as read' about anything.....you carry on sitting there at your PC putting the world to right....meanwhile, in the real world, those of us whos work involves the region know slightly differently........just think of it as one huge game and we pay the price no matter what....(more than likely through our pockets these days).......any wobble from Iran and you watch fuel prices ROCKET.....they know this....our masters know this....everyone knows this....imagine the headache any UK government would have if one morning they wokr up and petrol was £2.50 at the pump..........you get my drift..?

this closing the straits of hormuz.....which is what they are threatening to do......christ almighty....again, this is not pakitstan, again NO TWO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE THE SAME.......right, if it was just as simple as reconfiguring shipping lanes...why wont we just do it...infact, you seem to be some sort of martime expert, please explain what the reconfiguration would look like...?

depends if we invade...which would be very unlikely....the country is huge and has a very well equipt armed forces who are far far more advanced than the tin-pot taliban

why are you going on about paki-stan?....this is not pakistan...no two cirucmstances are the same....what a very odd comment...it wil only take iranian units to sail from chah bahar or bander abbbas and block the straits of Hormuz for you to start really paying expensive fuel bills, car fuel...christ, even the price of your daily bread will go up..........there is no way, in the interests of the UK will we (more so the US) allow that to happen.....imagine going to the petrol pump and paying double over night.......???....that would be just the start of it.......the gulf states would be strangled as they wont be able to trade etc etc.....again, just the start of it...there is a whole load more that could happen....

because they would control the middle east......hence all of us in a way...is just the tip of the ice berg

LOL at the likes of verbal and the rent-a-quotesmuch of my work is directed at this region....will not go into much more but can say that the threat is real........not in real as in bomb the UK with a huge weapon but real enough to fuk all of our lives over very easily............

very very wrong

not a patch on the Astute class SSGNs

the naming of warships is very historical

Mate, with 192.com and facebook with lax security settings......you can find out ANYTHING about a person......Part of my job is look after physical security and educating people on it..........I did an example of someone (during a lecture)...from his facebook and using 192.com, I found out where he lived, I found out, who is faimily are (from facebook).....I found out where they lived.....used a search on local schools and found out what schools the kids went to.....found out who the teachers were...so I could potentially pretend to be on.....his parents live in a new build so found out the company and found the plans of their house so knew exactly what room was what....used google earth to have a look.......etc etc........scary stuff

the most pompous teenager ever...............the reason he may not have seen any ill feeling in scotland would be dur to the fact he has been a chiold nearly all his life.......I have been all over scotland, galsgow, Helensburgh, edinburgh, dunfirmline, rosyth are the main areas and in general........they do NOT like the english........the city centres of Glasgow and Edinburgh were fine....but they, like most othrt large city centres have many many "foreign" people in it......

18 posts per day...? well, I have done what..? 3 on here..? 3 or 4 on a match thread... 3 or 4 on a transfer thread 3 or 4 in the lounge...? can do that in half an hour....hardly not having a life anyway, on that note, I'm off away (having a life again) on operations...maybe post again in a few weeks

I have a large number of posts and I have a very busy life, been there and done that so to speak all over the world.. I happen to enjoy engaging with this site (most of the time) and having a laugh with people who share a common interest. I have also met one to two good people from this place.. if that counts to not having much in my life

because he is shyt..?

look, no point debating unless you actually read what Hypo had written..... that is what he will reply with

what is your definition of big...I should imagine its different from the clubs...so better start complaining now you bellend

don't worry, I won't come crying to you (or anyone). to be fair, I have more important things to worry about in my life than crying about saints signing another millionaire... if we go up...amazing..if we don't, the team would have clearly given it a great shot

blackpool...oh the player that was part of the charlie adam deal... and then leeds.. right, I am now angry that we are being left behind
