Colin,
I think it was myself and the Murf debating the positives or otherwise of \'empire\' PLEASE don\'t take it personal, it wasn\'t intended that way. Yes I agree that personal opinion should be confined to the PM section.
Hope and trust all is well with you and that you didn\'t \"CUSS\" the Irish too much in \'private\' after reading the posts lol
God Bless and I hope life is treating you wonderfully there,
Lawrence.
