I attended a speech given by US Undersecretary of State Nick Burns on Monday. In the course of his remarks, he described the USA and Russia as having an “open relationship”.
Isn’t that the kind of relationship in which both partners agree that it’s OK to shag other people?

Not a joke, I would have thought. Portsmouth is one of the main naval bases on the south coast, and it would be logical to base the subs either there or in Devonport (Plymouth) – I would favour Devonport because the Channel’s not so narrow in the west so there’s more room to manoever the subs in one of the worlds’ busiest shipping lanes.
