No, you can't. History is on my side. Every nation who is a member of the UK was CONQUERED by the English....except England.

It is English. It is English-oriented, English-built and English maintained.

My Scottish friends would be most upset to hear you say that. In 1707 , when the act of union was passed, it was English men who objected, not Scots. (They thought they'd have to prop up the poorer Scotish side). England and Scotland were co-ruled by the same king when King James the 6th of Scotland became King James the 1st of England, appointed by Elizabeth to be her successor. No conquest involved. [:)] If you think history is on your side, you need to re-read your history![:D] She takes no sides, only prisoners![:D]

You aren't going back nearly far enough. Bannockburn may have stayed the English hegemony for a while but the English lords Longshanks had installed throughout the lowlands remained. And they were the ones who brought the act of union about.

About half of Scotland fought bitterly against the travesty. They were the true Scots. And yes, they were conquered. At Culloden.

Yesterday, I was sitting at our reception desk, which we share with the hematology department. I'm close with the girls who man it for hematology, and when the one on duty had just finished signing in a patient, she leaned over to me and said, sotto voce:

"That woman is 12 weeks pregnant, and she's about to have one of our doctors tell her that she has aggressive lymphoma and will have to terminate her pregnancy".

I almost threw up, right there. Hate this job...[:(]

How many stories I could tell you, T. My wife is a neo-natal intensive care nurse. While there are happy outcomes, there are also gut wrenching ones. I'm not a psychiatrist but I play one in real life.

Hi all,

My hat is off to your wife sir.

At Culloden

As Billy Connolly once sai. "We might have won at Stirling Bridge but they kicked our arses at Culldoen"

Strictly speaking it was a revolt that was suppressed but it wasn't a revolt against the Englisg rule of Scotland but a revolt against the protestant rule of Britain.

[sprior]

And a good morning to you all.

[Grollub]

Good morning gents.

Spitfires take to the sky to mark Battle of Britain's 70th anniversary

by DailyTelegraph UK

Ten historic Spitfire aircrafts have taken to the sky to mark the 70th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Britain

Spitfires at the 'Flying Legends' air show:



Their impressive display formed part of the Flying Legends air show at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire, on Saturday.

It showcased the fighter’s development throughout the Second World War, from the rare Mk I Spitfire, one of the first designs, through to the Mk XIX, which became the last of the specialised photo reconnaissance Spitfires.

On Sunday, as part of the commemorations, an open air service will be held at Capel-le-Ferne near Folkestone in Kent, featuring three fly-pasts by Spitfires and Hurricanes.

Group Captain Patrick Tootal, secretary of the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust, said: "We pay tribute every year to The Few, the men of RAF Fighter Command who were at the forefront of preventing a German invasion, as well as to the many men and women whose support in so many ways helped to ensure that we all live in freedom today.

“The trustees are hoping that this 70th anniversary event will be supported by a particularly large number of people.”

During Sunday’s tribute Prince Michael of Kent will be the guest of honour and will be joined by veterans of the fighting.
