Commiserations to those in the former colonies on your ill-advised separation from His Britannic Majesty's realm in our civil wars of the late 18th century.



Cheers,
Adam.

Happy 4th of July, to all the American Rogues!

Does that mean it the last day of the North American birthday bash first suggested in the Canada Day July 1 thread?

My local community had their celebration yesterday, so Lil' Bit and I are just hanging out today. Had a lot of fun last night, though. Thanks to all for the warm wishes.

It's always a party when you're around, Mac!

Thank you all. We plan on having a big throw down tomorrow at my mom's. Today, well, I'm cleaning out the study.

BTW, see what happens when you let a German rule your country...

This statement reminded me of a story i was relayed a while back.


There was a rather aristocratic English lady holding forth at a certain historical society meeting. She was regaling the group with her never ending tales of one splendid English victory after another.

Finally, one gentleman spoke up and asked, "What about the American Revolution?"

She replied, "Ah yes, the American Revolution! Another splendid English victory."

"Do you actually consider that another splendid English victory?" the gentleman asked.

"It certainly was.", she replied. "Englishmen fighting for Englishmen's rights against a German monarch and his Hessian mercenaries. Another splendid English victory."

I salute the Greatest Nation on Earth on your Constitutional Day!

Hadn't it been for the good old U.S. of A, western Europe would be drowned in the communist quagmire by now!
Thanks to your sacrifices in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, 9.11 and Iraq, there are still democracies on the western hemisphere.

Keep up your good work and vote for the right candidate in the election!

Thank ya all!!!
