    I studied the English Civil War. Not many people know this but it was not strictly "English" at all. It was a British civil war.

    I never read books, please could either of you summarise the English Civil War in a few short paragraphs so that I too am informed?

    That has been true of most soldiers in most wars, since Agamemnon and Achilles pitched up outside the walls of Troy.

    I'm concerned about the subtle encroachment of golf related comments on this board.









    It seems to have become par for the course imho.

    I think Mick the Club might have something to say about that.

    Where is that clubfooted **** anyway, I noticed he was on chatbox the other day, then just like that, he was gone.
