    Default Oh the Grand old Duke of York......

    Hmm...I wonder what they were looking for? A new set of nibliks perhaps? .... Seriously though, arn't these Aussies setting themselves up for a treason charge? Is'n't it against the law to poke and prod 'The Firm' on pain of dis-embowellment? If not? why not?
    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.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    I don't see why didn't just let HRH through...
    I was reading some of the other articles on the monarchy there, though, and there are some rather interesting ones... especially on the proposed changes to the Act of Settlement, and the failure of anyone to notice Article 2 of the Act of Union...

    The Noble Duke of York,
    He had 10,000 men,
    He marched them up to the top of a hill,
    Then he marched them down again.

    ...Sounds suspiciously like the vanilla AI

    Guess they feel that the act of settlement has more force than the act of union. Or they are idiots. There are several republican movements here in Canada that I would like to see gone, but we can't always have our way.
