    Two islands because US aircraft will be using her too. One speaks English while the other talks 'merican.
    Actually they divided navigation from the operational systems according to what I read. Why two and not one larger island is beyond my comprehension. Perhaps one has Lucas wiring and the other doesn't?

      With the state Britain is in these days, I wouldn't be surprised
      if one Island is run by muslims.

        Years ago, a Brit patrol in Belfast was ambushed by an IRA unit with an M60 machinegun.

        Not long after, the Argentines invaded the Falklands. A couple of Brits in a pub in Belfast were talking loudly what would happen "When we get to the Falklands."

        A voice from the back of the pub said, "The Falklands, is it? Yez can't even get up Crocus street!"

        Katie, bar the door!

          My question is regarding the line "Put him into bed with the Captain's Daughter". Somehow I doubt that refers to a nubile wench. Sorry to be to literal.
