May be the odd raid in the Spanish wars but invasion?

Maybe it was the Beatles.

The Mexican food that I've had in Europe should inspire a Latin American terrorist movement. You may as well let Charlie Hebdo loose in the kitchen.

Well hang on, I think some of those countries only came into being after we decided invading everyone was probably not a good thing afterall.

So not quite up there with that fine British record, but well on the way!

Obvoiusly our invasion was unsuccessful ...

I do love a good burrito though. One of my favourite things about the US is Mexican food ...

Wow, who knew!

Actually, I did.

But I went there anyway...

Maybe this is why my son locks up my computer:
