I cannot say what I think would better, but I can try to make some suggestions that I think could be plausible. This is so tricky because the first question is would Hitler have left us to it, and would we be an equal ally - i think not - because by the very fact we sought an alliance (we were the colonial power) would mean that the top dog in the pact would have been the germans. It is reasonable to assume that we would have had to have adopted their race policies (to an extent or to their entirity) but you have to remember that in the 1940's Britain was essentially anglo saxon and our main immigration had come from Ireland and Protestant Huegenots from France. Discount the norman conquest and all that mixing of race because it was/is so mixed it is who we all are.

I recomend PIRATE LATTITUDES by Michael Crichton. There are some american spellimg and the author is a yank, and he had to make a key character a yank, but ultimately is about the English colony of Port Royal - Jamaica and touchs on piracy and privateering and the good old spanish main. Just what a pirate book should be, EDIT: When i say it touches on privateering thats not strictly true - it's all about it.

What the brief gib.

My fav books/films are pirate films (not unfunny yank humour ones), and crusader stuff, and stuff with elves and dwarfs and **** (not tackled these types of books for years as they are a marathon anf sometimes 7,8,9 + thick novels in one go. I;m a slow reader because I like to really picture the schenes and haven't felt like the series for a bit cos they take over your life when theres **** like lawns to mow.

What is the slant, are Americans major characters over the English, does it have american spelling? I have certain stanfards which when compromised lead to the book reading not getting past chapter 1

K, I know you once mentioned it

Can I come too?

Cheers, good post mate. There is a theory (no doubt on historical documentation) that Hitler wanted mainland Europe and wanted us as an ally comtrol most of the rest. However alliances with nutters (as Hitler was) would be fragile to say the least. It can be argued that Churchill hated the Comunists more than the fascist and what is a fascist at the end of the day? As far as i'm aware it's sytem that looks after a [artucular group of people based on who they are - therefore not any differen to the Conservatives versus Labour because it's tantamount to apartheid to benefit one part of a given population deliberately especially when the Conservatives do it because that's unfair. Thankfully under Dave Cam we have a normal guy that calls people "mate" - if you're reading this Dave please stop it - it isn't appropriate and makes you look like a posh man trying too hard.

I don't know what you're talking about, i don't know how to use the spell checker, i don't want to know how to use the spell cjecker as it may change a wprd to an american spelling and that would annoy me immensely

Questions questions question, whether they relate to the answer i'm about to give i couldn't give a toss. You are being deliberately choldish. I have read through the OP and although not perfect, it is completely readable. So tell me I should give you the benefit of the doubt given that you are doing what you have a reputation for doing?

Be a joey and post up some details.

Steve Grant has already had a woed with you and he was dead right. MLG i've nothing against you, but I have asked that this thread is kpt sensible and you are more than capable of debatingm so please do that mate because I am genuinely interested if you have a point to make.

We'll play a lot more urgently next time. The conditions ae mild/cool so we can affprd to run about a bit. I reckon the altitude may have made Capelo worry about over exertion, but this is our strength and if you play at pace they have to to.

The problem with England is the closed shop mentality where players pick thyemselves ( a nonsense term i use that isn't nonsense to me). I've long opined that with the increase in foreign players in the Prem Engalnd should look at Championship club players with hunger and desire.

Disagree. All he's done is had a rich dad that could get him into a thing (you can't call it a sport imo) that I COULD do just as well.
