damn Gussy-poo get with the program.....

I know I know.

Anyway breezy I wouldn't peg you as a Ferguson fan. You are an enigma wrapped in a hippie.

If...if! I smoked dope & was in the armed forces (armour), I think those in the know would call me Oddball (love Kelly's Heroes) ...

What you do in the privacy of your northern confines is your business.

As a proud member (heh) of the NATO alliance and free man (but only a little easy) of Canada- the US' best friend; I am honored to be able to foray in your country for fossils that in our country are claimed by Her Majesty if I found them here in Canada.
Quibbling aside the claim is quite preposterous and more than a little tyrannical. So to feed my passion I must journey to the lands of the minuteman and freedom... And inexpensive beer

Stay confined indeed... Give a man a dam to play with and he gets all fascist on his hippie buddies

Her Majesty really claims all your fossils?

I dunno why but that question sounds somehow vaguely 'dirty'... must have been the talk about bookshelves in another thread that made me react this way. :D

Absolutely... and the water too ( which is my specialty). You of course can get caretaker status for any fossils you find, but selling the right to be a caretaker of a fossil is frowned upon most direly.

How very droll. And British.
