I saw one many years ago right outside Ronnie Biggs's place in Rio. It's amazing the things people don't want to give up.

"Nigel Farage: 'Who the Hell do You Think You Are: The Euro Game Is Up!' "

His outburst also mentioned Spitfires and goose-stepping Nazis

You might be on to something. Part of an elaborate invasion plan, using devious camouflage techniques. Despite winning several World Cups, they're still seeking revenge for the last two scraps...

Coming ashore from submersibles disguised in red telephone boxes. Hmm. It might just work!

[MrMark]
