New Cod War

Noo Cod War

We lost the last Cod War

they've been coddin' us deuth as long as I can remember, Cod was always the fish in chippys, then it became haddock, then it became more expensive, So chippys sold curry and egg flung mayo with boiled pigeon,
who cares ?

Happy memories TTS... I was on HMS Andromeda up in Iceland during the Cod war 1975...ye gods was it cold up there. - 30 daily... Got to eat plenty cod from British trawlers... Rammed once by Icelandic gunship. "Thor" not much damage done. Happy days... Surely they don't want dusting again!!

I seem to remember that HMS Andromeda was sold off to India, I think, in the 90's.

Nice story, BB

You are right Terry. 1995 now named INS KRISHNA.. bet its hanging inside now !!

INS KRISHNA

I knew his brother Harry.

I actually thought the thread was about the 'Cold' war at first glance.

Cold war was better, we knew who we were dealing with then. Now every sod want's to have a go.

Allahu Akbar.

On about the cold war, and how it nearly turned into a hot war, and if you think all that is in the past, then look what happened last Saturday.

The reds in Germany loved the cold war, in the British sector the soviet mission was in Bunde. They loved getting posted there and would be in the NAAFI getting stocked up with western goodies.

All NATO soldiers were issued with SOXMIS cards with instructions and phone numbers to report them if they were spotted lurking about and taking photos of things they shouldn't. We did the same too, legal spying on each other and everyone was happy.

I think the "cod wars" were far more unfriendly.

I have BRIXMIS card still some where.

All was solved with the reunification of Germany in 1990...wasn't it?

Fish is still bloody dear though.

Fish is fish
Terry.... Not DEER

I know u spelled it different.!

Glad I didn't do the "Whale meet again" one.
