Nothing to clear up at all, bubba! They're doing fine and dandy with me here, growing in strength every day.
As for the Viking gods, yeah, I blame my best friend for not doing enough to appease them..... :wink:

Oh good... :twisted: perhaps if you wanted something to do you could go and take out those imposters from the Last Legion, and the historical advisors after that.

Although it's not the real thing it's certainly a very nice image, and much better than a photo on a postcard.
As for the 're-enactor', he is one of the 'Legio Plastica' (that's the name I know them by at any rate) which routinely hangs around outside the Colosseum. Four or five of them hang around in front of it, wearing much the same as the one in the picture, with a variety of coloured tights, and charge tourists five euros each for the 'privilage' of having their photo taken with them. When I was there in 2004 I walked across the square in full parade kit (i.e. with crest, feathers and decorations, in addition to my regular kit) and the tourists flocked to me in droves, leaving the Legio Plastica looking somewhat annoyed. I could have made a fortune out of the tourists, who seemed to be falling over themselves to spend their money, but as I had just had come from San Giovanni Hospital, where my wife had been taken during the parade we had been part of, I was in no mood to stop for photos unfortunately.

Hmmm, I was just going to gripe about it, considering the prices of hotels, but I suppose if they were to use
the tax for that purpose, it would be reasonable. But I highly doubt they would...... :x
