Aww, Toyvo you say the sweetest things, thanks. I'll think of you next time I'm in Michigan, where I spend 4 months of the year, I'll think of you.

I'll not be going back to the Orkneys or I'd check that the seperatists are still happily ploughing their own furrow. The thoughts of being drugged, gagged, bound and thrown in the sea (2 people recently prosecuted, I believe the crime was in '03), having my property burned to the ground, killing several ponies, owing to being an 'incomer' (last week), or being beaten to within an inch of my life, with 200 witnesses, by a council member, and then having the crime barely investigated by the police (Christmas '02 - I was there) don't really appeal.

"so many Americans can't even point out the UK on a globe."

Funny considering the British empire once encompassed the globe...

Irony?

I can safely say, that I live in mainland UK, and would never ever want to live on Orkney or the Shetlands.

Maybe a weekend break, a trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city. But to live there? The only advantage I see is that I get to shoot swans, they sound so tasty.

Wait, only the queen can eat out Swan?

Anybody can come to America and eat a swan, as long as it isn't wild.

"I'd give you the recipe for the terrine - but now I know I could end up in the chiller, I don't want anyone else to get into trouble as well."

God I love an English criminal. American criminals have no class at all.

In other news, most Americans still giggling over "Sir Peter"

Me, I'm still chuckling over the casting of an actor named "Biggerstaff" to play a character named "Wood"

I'd never heard the bit about it being illegal to posses an Eagle feather before, so I had to look it up. It's not a particularly trivial crime, since it can be accompanied by a $10,000 fine and 10 years in federal prison, regardless of how you obtained said feather, unless you posessed it previous to 1971, and have documentation to prove it.

And it isn't just eagles, but all raptors, including owls, hawks, and falcons too.

/thinks it's farking stupid to jail someone for posessing an eagle feather for 10 years, when there are real criminals on the streets

I would deep fry it.

When etaing swan is outlawed,
only outlaws will eat swan.

Drugged, gagged, bound and thrown into the sea by Orcadians?
Funny I never heard about that news story, particularly given that I read the local Orkney paper and the Scotsman on a regular basis. What kind of crack are you smoking?

Arson???, Shetland Pony Massacres???, even getting over 200 hundred people (12% of the population) to witness you being beaten up is one hell of stretch!!!

Keep taking the meds...
