I've never threatened you. My perception is that you are deluding yourself. Only time will tell! I harbour no rancour towards you.
I have no ill will towards you either, I just want to have a shot at doing more than standing by while others enjoy victory. That can't be that difficult to understand, I don't think.

Here Here and Here again!!!!
Well said my Norwegian friend...well said.
Rain has stopped play for a day. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any books on the mediaeval period (fiction, non-fiction) that they consider particularly good. I can recommend The Warhorse 1250-1600 (Ann Hyland). Paints a picture of the mediaeval world through the eyes of horse riders, traders, trainers and thieves...

Chaucer is always great but he's a bit light on carnage.
Some truly hilarious and even philosophical writing in Pilgermann (Russell Hoban). Features a cameo by Lust in the form of an uncannily alluring she-pig.

Originally posted by Bosse de NageSo, at long last we can finally quit pretending to be working together in any semblence and get down to the real business at hand. In victory or in defeat I will be spared the ignominy of having to share in a coalition with the sub-human abomination that rules Castile, or with any of the other rabble that make up your coalition. The Lord of Morocco is the only one worthy of his position.

Curse the Saxon dogs. The abdication of their so-called 'king' has tipped the balance in your favor. There'll be hard work ahead.
