What are people buying?

[Etranger]

In town? Is that the Cri in Melbourne?

Adelaide.

[Shahbahraz]

Ah, dear old Adelaide, city of churches and serial killers, where people will tell you it's the only bit of Oz that wasn't a penal colony, and then wonder why everyone finds it so dull. I once spent two weeks there for work, and it felt like months.

Still, at least it isn't Port Pirie or Port Lincoln.

[Buff Orpington]

Nah, HM is neither Queen of England, nor Queen of the Scots.
"Elizabeth II, in full Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, officially Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other realms and territories Queen".

That's just German propaganda.

If they hadn't been so namby Pamby in 1918, she could be Queen of Hannover too.

[FreddBloggs]

No she couldn't. Hanover had salic law, hence Vicky not being it.

Interesting that the only genuine German in all of this is the surviving head of the Jacobites.....

Franz, Grand Duke of Bavaria. who - being childless - will be succeeded by his brother, Max, and then via the latter's eldest daughter Sophie, by her first-born, Joseph, who also happens to be the first Jacobite to be born in the British Isles - London, 1995 - for over 300 years.

Buying? Being very tempted to have a go at the Wargames Atlantic plastic 95th Rifles, especially as I have been rereading the Sharpe novels for light relief.

If you haven’t already read it you should have a look at C S Forester’s Death to the French (sometimes less starkly known as Rifleman Dodd)

See, more bloody European interference. Trial by combat, you know it makes sense.
