Ah, jolly good, not that I know who the redcoats are either.
That would be a derogatory term for your little soldier boys, derived from the bright scarlet uniforms they wore. The city had been under martial law for about two years prior to that, with most of the soldiers quartered in people's private homes. Needless to say, we were ready to see them leave.
Gee, I wonder what they'll call it in Iraq 
Everyone's Dead And We've Stolen All Their Oil Day?
If only that had actually happened, then one could at least make the argument there was something in it for us. The reality is it hasn't benefited the United States at all. Most of the wells aren't even pumping and the ones that are, the oil seems to be vanishing. Not that I'm suggesting it's okay to wreck another country if there's something in it for you, but at least that would make some kind of sense. |

Talking of days, I'm surprised that TitanPa hasn't commented on the logo yet. He seems to be quite obsessed with St. Patrick's Day for some reason.
It was quite awful in Trafalgar Square yesterday. Somehow I suspect that not many of the green, white and orange jester hat- or feather boa-wearing crowd were actually Irish.

You have to be Irish to celebrate St. Pats?
I'm originally from Chicago and the whole city would celebrate.

LOL, they weren't very good at being derogatory, were they?
The British were evil enough that any name for them would have been derogatory.   |

I'm sure they had plenty of more colorful names for them, too. Ha! Colorful! I crack myself up. |
