Never let me hear you say that again! I'm a staunch anti-royalist!

Don't worry. I'm not exactly a fan of the old bag myself! To

The point is that someone might be able to help. There are
quite a few people on this newsgroup who speak languages
other than English. If nobody understands... too bad.

Incidentally, what does TBH stand for? (Is it foreign?!!!)

It does limit debate though if only one person understands. Then you don't
get the benefit of everyones opinions.
Haven't seen that many Swahilian posts on here yet. I'll keep my newsreader
peeled.....

To Be Honest.

We can! Let's organise a revolution

Roughly 30% of the populace share these views. Down with the monarchy, and
lets move forward with a Republic. What really annoys me is the moaning
people saying, "Oh Tony Blair will want to be the president." Lunatics
anyone who says that. There is some trash dispensed onto us by the Tories at

Rail enthusiasts, of the sort found in the UK and elsewhere in Europe,
are almost unknown in Spain.

Hmm.. probably due to the lack of local railways...

Not true. There are extensive local systems in all the major cities.
In other newsgroups, I bore for Spain on the virtues of the Valencia
Metro. There are also country lines, mainly in the north and (yippee)
the east. These are usually narrow gauge and are the target of
pilgrimages for Northern European railfans.

My local line is metre gauge, and has a "friends" association, most of
whom are foreign!

There is one real rail enthusiast club that I know of in Spain, and that is

"Amics del Ferrocarril" in Barcelona. They have (or had) rooms at a peanut
rent from RENFE in the Estacio de Franca, there and own at least one
preserved broad gauge steam engine.

What's worse, the pigeons are so bad at the language
themselves, they can't even spell their names correctly. For
some reason, they all call themselves "pidgins"... (If you
don't get it, ask a linguist!)

For more language-related laughs, try out AltaVista's "Babel
Fish" translation tool. It's quite impressive up to a point,
but... For instance, when I tried translating my site, every
instance of my name got replaced by the word "microphone".
(Is it trying to tell me something?!) Still, it looks pretty
impressive now that my site proudly displays options for
five foreign languages!

Why a revolution..?
Why not just act as an army and kill the queen and take the country by

There are rules set down in antiqity about taking control of a country...And
one of them is trial by sword.

it was alright ish, poor guy though, straight up the arse, ouch! got paid
buckets, then turned on his friends. In a magazine interview, he :

1) Called our school dumb
2) Called us stcuk up t**ts
3) Lied about school, caliming teachers were soft, and that he smoked pot in
the corridors
4) Said Cumbria was boring
5) said half of his friends were gay,

This was not fair, that mag named the ppl, most with g/f's, and more than
