Re: Australia

This reaction seems very similar to the riots in Ireland a few weeks ago. In both it was the police that suffered from the rioters' actions. There is a lot of resentment against their governments that is bubbling just below the surface but will their concerns be addressed or glossed over? Showing th...

PHXPhlyer - yes, the 'Little Corporal' from Corsica had a rest on Elba before getting bored and setting off to conquer Europe again, at the start of the 'Hundred Days'.

You have control.

No - very cold Rossian - though you might crash on Corsica on the way! Nelson got it on with Lady Hamilton to the south east of this place.

No - right sea - an island that had a famous 'visitor' for a short while. Just the name of the island will do.

Thanks Opsboi - that was a guess to get the ball rolling. This place has played its part in history:

Thanks Smeagol. I suspect this one, on the theme of painted houses, will also go quickly.

Re: Friday Jokes

My next one, after writing off a Mk 2 Sprite was a sensible Morris 1000 Traveller as well. The brakes never worked very well, which led to scrape with a Mk 10 Jag which took up most of the road - well he knew the Chief Constable etc as his wife told me - so it was me who got the warning from the cop...

Re: Chaos in Scotland.

A small hope will ignite in the hearts of the folk, mainly in the Western Isles, that they will get a decent ferry service again sometime. I don't think I'm being unduly cynical in doubting that this ship will be in service by September 2025, after the mess and huge waste of money and hopeless sched...

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread

Obviously I thought they were saltire flags and in the shadows they could well be blue. OK with you? St Andrew isn't just the patron saint of Scotland.
