The one-man invasion in the article describes the invader getting nicked by the local plod. The one I recall involved the invader turning up, planting a flag, and going home. They're different incidents.
Two frenchmen with guns? Wow, that must be at least half of their military.

The bloke I'm talking about didn't have a gun. He was, after all, invading a dozen-square-foot rock - the damn thing didn't even have any grass, let alone people.

That was rather foolish of him. What if he'd encountered a mildly irate seagul?

In case of such a situation I'm sure he had his line of retreat well planned in advance.

Would a seagull recognize the meaning of a white flag? :lol:

- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords.
- Try fewer keywords.
Also, you can try Google Answers for expert help with your search

He's French. He'll make the bird understand the word 'surrender'.
