Hi Bilow,

Well, you win that one -g-

Thanks for the link. Of course, I remember at the time, all things British were crap, all things Spanish were wonderful. The British possession of Gibraltar was also "illegal". After the "Argies" were given a thrashing, perception changed a little. Reminds me of some other war.

However, read my earlier post if I still think that war was worth fighting or not. I would like this countries leaders to pull their heads out of their butts, now that would be worth fighting for....

pearly.

edit: If only we could learn how to play cricket. The recent thrashing by India throws us once again into self doubt. Our "dominions" seem to take pleasure in such activities for some reason....Austalia, NZ, Rugby, etc etc it's a hard life -lol-

I think most british understand the tradegy of the Falk Land Election Campaign of the Milk-Snatcher.

Personally I especially enjoyed her deciding to party her birthday in USA, not, for example,
in Scotland trying to wake up the sleeping tory ideals.

Personally I think a museum should be instigated, for the amusement of coming generations.

Ilmarinen

Inlcuding old man Pinochet, also some of the Marco fetish shoes (Lady Thatcher might try out some of them)
and with some help of Ashcroft, Noriega might keep track of the tickets at the entry, get his banana bonus.
(The Shah might be represented with some paintings on alternatively the heating or the air
conditioning elements)

Pretty much as the british emperial fleet at that crucial point between the scrapyard and the museum.
