Hip hip, cheerio and all that. Welcome boffins to the bicentennial Anglothread, wherein all Anglophiles toast the Queen and play croquet prior to a rousing fox hunt. Gather round for morning tea before we leave. Earl Grey for myself, but of course I won't hold it against you should you choose a less patriotic brand. It's all made by those slaves in the Carribean anyway, eh?

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier -

Also like a fine Assam Mangalam FTGFOP1 and occasionally a good old fashioned Darjeeling MYOFB.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

Irish Breakfast for me, thank you.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment
