    Still when are they going to let Benny and the FIDF have a go...
    Looking forward to their breaking into The March of the Penguins when they reach the crossroads.

    I thought it was a bunch of 'fucking Zulu re-enactors' and wondered why I'd been arrested by attendant filth. Oh well, that'll learn me.

    If they should once obtain a connivance, they will press for a toleration, from thence to an equality, from an equality to a superiority, from a superiority to an extirpation of all contrary religions. John Pym 1584-1643.

    I reserve the right to say what the fcuk I like. The serried ranks of headstones in Flanders, Normandy and elsewhere give me that right.

    Common in the Scottish Regiments, for example, the Black Watch and The Highlanders both had Bands as well as Pipe Bands. Often the pipers would perform with the "normal" band.

    But thats a boring fact, so not really worth mentioning..lol
