    Yes, we Brits had the biggest and best empire. We were the best at divide and rule and we were the most prolific. It was also Pax Britannica which is more than we can say for the current global mess.
    Bring it back I say - no more unemployment, get the shipyards working and the steel mills to provide it. Teach the yanks how to speak properly and drink tea out of a bone china teacup as well as playing rugby properly and cricket not rounders. Sorry, I went off on one - i'll crawl back into BB.

    Haha your number 2 shares a birthday with the great Noam Chomsky - here he is in one of his finest disguises.

    Chomsky
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.
