You a septic or sommat?

No. Just a bad speller.

Sceptic septic?

Septic tank - Yank, the GAL pointed out he used the US spelling.

Perhaps the Russians have come and support Scottish independence.

Many a true word said in jest.

I think I can see it!!

[tomtomagain]

Who thinks there is a foreign submarine hiding near Faslane?

Why do they think it is there? Where's the evidence?

Why did they give the story to the media to run?

----------------------

Call me a cynic but I think its just posturing by the MoD so that they can push for an increase in defense spending.

That was the first event. There's been a second.

You wait for hours, then three hostile submarines come at once

I assume, from this post, that you posted something about this when it actually happened. However you haven't provided a link.

For future reference: when somebody posts something you posted a while before, the accepted etiquette is "KUATB" encapsulated in a hyperlink to your original post.

If only some complete twat could have posted about this when it actually happened.

Oh, wait...

And a treat to your eyes

Why not run a naval exercise that involves submarine search with dive bombs? Good opportunity to train staff should not be missed.

That's how it will end:

HM Government in its wisdom cut our anti-submarine aircraft a few years ago. Apparently we now have to go begging to the Yanks and the French (!) for help.

That's what allies are for.

Iraq, Afghanistan, how many billions have we spent on those campaigns only to retreat. And all the while no one checked to see if the back door was unlocked...

Have we been caught with our pants down? Is it really possible for a foreign nuclear submarine to be patrolling our coastline and for us to know nothing about it? Government has surely failed on an abysmal scale if true.
