[Goodnight Vienna]

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4627453.stm

I am watching this on tele at present, they said the reinactment battle will be red v blue, so not to offend the French or Spanish, what? Just another example of how ridiculous my country is when it come to political correctness, i doubt the French or Spanish really care to be honest, its pathetic how the powers that be here in England are so afraid to do things like this for fear of offending other countries, its history for crying out loud.

vienna for once you and I agree with you on something.. I saw this on the news over the weekend,it turns the whole historical battle into a joke.

Another point which I know is a great concern to you is how will the celebrations in the English Channel interfere with the G8 / bob geldof flotilla??? lol

Exactly, its just some politically correct English idiots who think they know best I wouldnt even expect the French or any other nation to censor their history because we in England may be offended, its just stupid.

As for Bob, i have not mentioned him because i cant get away from him at present, he is stalking me, i turn on the tele he is there, i turn on the radio...... Its the boomtown rats playing, i glance at a discarded paper on the bus & guess what................ BOB is their grinning at me!!

Im sure you could put money on the French not censoring it, probably the complete opposite in fact.

Vienna .. if Bob comes and knocks at your door I still have access to the boat, you can always borrow it so you can join the flotilla.!!

The French wouldnt i know that for a fact, in fact not may countries would censor their history to be politically correct, its just nonsense really!

I would love to join Bob & his flotilla, but sadly i have no access to my sea legs at present, i had a nasty accident in a paddling boat on the serpentine, its left a shocking mental scar!!!
