    Default Texas



    There hasn't been a good one of these in a while and I fear the new guys won't know how much respect they need to give

    Remember kids, Texas is bigger than France
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Texas certainly has personality to match its size. Certainly not a wallflower state.

    There is plenty to do in Atlanta, but stay out of the inner city as your political leanings will do you no good there.

    What part of the ATL are you going to be in? I used to live there, but it's been a while.

    And just a warning, "tea" means something completely different than what you will be expecting!

    Fail. Everyone knows that things should be measured relative to one of the following: Double decker buses, football pitches, Wales.

    Indeed. Damn colonials.



    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Since I'm half Welsh, have a Welsh first name, and live in New South Wales you are of course correct.

    Tasmania is the size of three Wales.
    Victoria is the size of eleven Wales
    Texas is the size of thirty five Wales.
    New South Wales is the size of forty Wales.
    South Australia is the size of forty nine Wales.
    Queensland is about the size of eighty five Wales
    Western Austrialia is the size of 135 Wales.

    Oops Texas is only 1/4 the size of WA. And would be a small Australia state.

    Australian Antarctic Territory is the size of 300 Wales. Or about eight or nine Texas.

    That's all well and good but to an Englishman, how many double decker buses is that?

    Western Austria would surely be the size of half a Wales.
