Wells' "Little Wars" and Gettysburg

I must confess I cried myself to sleep many a night when he was too busy with work to grace us with his presence. May it never happen again!

@Lema099:

This might be a good place to start: List of Wars

What a great link! Thanks for that!

We’ve had one of the longest coldest winters (with the most snow) for many years. We’re a country used to snow, but it ground us to a halt for a few days. Lots of power cuts too.

Europe was covered by a very cold front from the north. The satellite map of Britain says it all…

During the last session of our teaching workshop, participants were asked to state their personal goals for the immediate future.  One teacher vowed to update photo albums, another to lose weight.  The goal that got the most response, however, was given by a slightly out-of-shape kindergarten teacher.  “I resolve to exercise until I can complete a 20-minute workout in less than an hour.”

I don’t get the pay per views but I do find myself watching the fights if I’m not watching a movie or doing something on the computer.

so anyone have any favorites?  fighters they hate on there?    what styles do you think are the best?  like the militich fighting system, or kickboxing, judo, jujitsu, brazilian jujitsu, striking……?

No real favorites. I usually get a bit bored with the posturing and talk. I want to hate Tito Ortiz for being a punk with Shamrock but I can’t seem to bring myself to because Ortiz backed up what came out of his mouth.

I don’t think any style has an edge except for hitting hard and being fast and maybe it is just TV but these guys don’t look that fast to me. They are way faster than I am as I’m way out of shape and never was in much to be sure but it just seems to me that they should be faster. I suppose it is just relative–both guys are pretty fast distorting it to someone who isn’t.

Ahh.  That’s pretty cool.  8-)

:lol: Loved the WMD boxer shorts @ http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk !!!

Have to check and see if I can get them in 100,000,000 candle-power white. :D

@HortenFlyingWing:

care about the environment. Loggin’ is their biggest business.

well, we do “care” about the environment - prolly more than America, as well as many other nations. We are the home of Greenpeace, afterall. Also there are many “renewable resource” programs in place, and dozens of friends of mine spend their summers working tree-planting for these logging companies, etc.
No no, not logging. Our shame is in Alberta - a province that is working against Kyoto and environmental measures (it’s the Texas of Canada - with the good and the bad), not that Ontario is so great either - much industry near Toronto etc. Also we do waste quite a bit. Nice having all that landfill room.
