The PRC navy has two warships, the guided missile cruiser Shenzhen and the auxiliary Fengcang, in European waters for the first time in history. They're visiting various ports and what not.
So, when the Chinese paid visit to Portsmouth, the Royal Navy hosted a welcoming ceremony on board Ark Royal. When Admiral Wu and his staff boarded her, the British hoisted the Taiwanese flag over her flight deck.
The Admiral was not pleased.
Of course, this has been diplomatically excused away as an administrative error, but it wouldn't surprise me if some really cool British sailor pulled quite the prank. Either way, I'm quite pleased by the incident.

Heh heh. I'm good, eh? Nonetheless, use of the word "rejoinder" earns you a shot at the bonus round.Deleted comment

Re: おめでと。
Baroo? Do we share a birthday? Funny thing, if so, because the paper I am currently working on required me to identify a celebrity born on the same day as me...go Marilyn Manson.October 6 2001, 17:31:49 UTC 10 years ago
Re: おめでと。
Damn. See, I thought I was being all cool, because I thought I had noticed last night that we had the same birthday after perusing your userinfo thingy, but that was evidently someone else's userinfo thingy, hence the second comment deletion of the thread. My LiveJournal skills need work.October 6 2001, 20:02:03 UTC 10 years ago

Oh well. Saol fada chugat.October 6 2001, 22:46:46 UTC 10 years ago
Re: おめでと。
chugat? related to nougat? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHOctober 7 2001, 00:24:22 UTC 10 years ago
Re: おめでと。
Most definitely. Of what use is a long life if chocolate isn't involved?October 7 2001, 11:32:12 UTC 10 years ago
Re: おめでと。
Hey, nougat is not always connected to chocolate. Don't be so nougat-biased.October 8 2001, 15:55:26 UTC 10 years ago
Re: おめでと。
You're right; I'm such a nougat bigot. Or rather, I'm just not up on my nougat, so I come off as one.October 8 2001, 16:57:55 UTC 10 years ago
Re: おめでと。
Whoahahahahahahahahhaha. These words are funny to me. Fun-neh. Are your toes cold right now?October 9 2001, 18:59:06 UTC 10 years ago
Re: おめでと。
They're colder than most of the rest of me, but not all that cold. Certainly they're nothing at all like my sister's hands, which are somehow always the coldest things in the universe. When we were kids, she used to sneak up behind me and put her hands right on the back of my neck. She's evil like that.October 11 2001, 10:10:37 UTC 10 years ago
Re: おめでと。
Eeeeeeeeevil. I have always hot appendages.October 16 2001, 13:45:13 UTC 10 years ago
Re: おめでと。
How....unlike my sister of you.October 16 2001, 17:15:23 UTC 10 years ago
Re: おめでと。
I am going to costco today, and I am going to buy bulk chicken. Commence being jealous right now.October 16 2001, 22:11:03 UTC 10 years ago
bulk chicken
I will admit to a bit of jealousy, brought about primarily because of your Costco membership. I should also point out that there is something intrinsically amusing about the concept of bulk chicken.October 17 2001, 14:22:13 UTC 10 years ago
Re: bulk chicken
No, you want to know what's amusing? Spying someone there with an 8lbs tub of nutmeg in their cart. Eggnogg anyone?October 19 2001, 00:15:56 UTC 10 years ago
Re: bulk chicken
Eggnog, or some kind of HORRIBLE PLAN TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD that happens to require lots and lots of nutmeg. Damn them.October 19 2001, 19:07:15 UTC 10 years ago
Re: bulk chicken
Mission Bulk Chicken accomplished successfully. Also Mission Bulk Toilet Paper, and Mission Bulk Muffins. mmmmmmmmmmmm, toiletchickenmuff.October 19 2001, 22:46:18 UTC 10 years ago
Re: bulk chicken
You know, some things just shouldn't be mixed together. Bulk toilet paper and bulk chicken definitely fall into this category.October 20 2001, 14:30:15 UTC 10 years ago
Re: bulk chicken
Hey, when in costco, do as the costconians do. I had Taco Bell for the first time today, and now every internal organ is trying to escape my body via any means necessary. Fu-un.October 21 2001, 13:13:20 UTC 10 years ago
Re: bulk chicken
Now, there is precisely one circumstance in which ingesting Taco Bell's product is warranted: when you're in Terre Haute, Indiana, and everything else is closed.Now, on such occasions, I have been known to ingest some of that.
But, in San Diego!?!?!?? Go to Del Taco, which is everything Taco Bell could be and ought to be.

Re: おめでと。
Wow, you're fast too. I posted that, then almost immediately deleted it because I didn't quite like the redundant use of おめでと at the end. But alas, you had already replied. Silly me for not checking.
