thats what we DS are saying to each other in G34. Seems the free have some

Especially if Topic is the free agent who has kidnapped all our DS
characters. I'm down 2, FK down 1. I think Rhu is down a few. Not sure who
else is paying maintenance for people in prison. But we are starting to get
'a little upset'.

actually if people keep the subject line correct, then I'm fine with
whatever people want to talk about. I might feel sorry for the person who
logs on every couple of days to see so many emails. But provided the title
is correct, they can delete without wasting time reading stuff they don't
want to read.

Heh, there is good money in stamp collection (or so I tell my dad when he
thinks about calling it quits after he sees the prices that the dealer are
prepared to pay, compared to what they are charging).
And I think people need to remember that most of the people on this list are
UK based. A story about arthur, wales, and similar stuff would be relevant
to most of the people who are on it. As an aussie I'm nonfussed with arthur,
I know where wales is since I'm played brittania (my romans alway stomp on
them - great game is you have the correct number of player, terrible game if
you don't). And I still don't understand the difference between british, and
english.
But I can understand that people are interested in arthur, so I'm fine with
people talking about it, and having a little bit of leg-pulling. Just make
sure that the subject line is correct (and they are so far).
thanks

Yep see you're a fan as well. The gaming group here won't let me take it out
of the cellophane as I always play the Welsh. (Well no-one else likes to!
:-) ) You have to submit to the Romans quickly, and get oyur population
holed up until the romans either go North (to gain points) and try to get
them to allow you to breed so that you can hit the other counties (well
that's my tactics).

Ah easy one here - 'sure you are pulling my leg on this one. I agree that
to a certain extent they have become homoganised over time but there is
still quite a difference between the four home Countries. Language for one
thing, culture, national sport, outlook on life, wealth that sort of thing.

You should be. The Arthurian legends are one of the foundation stones
of English and French literature and therefore of the cultural heritage
of those two languages. One of which you are using - if only a colonial
variant of it ;-)
>And I still don't understand the difference between british, and

Britannia is the name given to these islands by the Romans. The mostly
Celtic people living here hence became termed Britons, though they were
diverse tribes. The Romans trotted off after 400 years in the first few
years of the 5th century telling the now Romanised Britons (Christian)
to defend themselves, and by latter half of that century Saxons, Jutes
and Angles (Pagan from Germany & Denmark areas) were successfully
invading. It is thought that the Romano-British (That is Christian
Celts with knowledge of Latin) fighting to defend these shores, once had
a war leader who was the original model - quite a few "historical
novels" have been written on this premise.
Lots of the Britons would have been conquered, and become slaves or
serfs under the Angles Saxons and Jutes, but the self governing ones
were pushed back into Cornwall, Wales, Cumbria and Scotland (all the
unpleasant hilly bits to the North and West. The Angles Saxons and
Jutes, mix up, and begin to call themselves Angle-ish = English.
Cornwall is subjugated by the 9th century, Wales by the 13th, and
Scotland eventually comes under the same crown in 1603. By a century
later, "British" is being used again to describe all the peoples of the
mainland of the British Isles, though mostly by foreigners and
politicians. Not long after we decided that character is more important
than race, so we selected all the unsavoury types and started shipping
them off to Terra Australis ;-)
The above is of course a grossly simplified explanation, but should
serve the purpose.

Easy-peasy.
Britain: England and Wales
Great Britain: Britain and Scotland
United Kingdom: Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Or, in sports:
If a Welshman wins an athletic event: "Didn't the British guy do well?"
If a Welshman loses said event: "Tough break for the Welsh lad there." :-)

I would cross off mars. You could get seriously hurt by all those falling
objects that nasa sends over there.
I think its all a government plot. I've seen photos that pokemon comes from
mars. Our ICBM don't go well in space, so NASA hopes to kill the little
buggers by sheer numbers of falling objects.
Not sure if all the falling NASA missions are :) or a :(
