Indeed, having passed through several layers of security in their limo with "Osama Bin Laden" inside at a World Leaders conference, and then given themslves up ( presumably because having succeeded beyond their wildest dreams, things were now geting dangerous), the 'Chaser Boys' were promptly arrested and gaoled....

There is one thing that we learn from history has never changed when we read Juvenal, he tells us that a rich Roman was afraid to go out at night for fear of being Mugged.
However if the guy got brave and went out he would come home only to find that his house had been done over whilst he was out.

I'd gladly pay the costs to be received as the Duke of Grand Fenwick at the White House...
If not the White house then how about Burbank City Hall as the Arch Bishop of Cadbury. (You can dispense chocolate treats to the citizens.) :?

Not necessarily. Bière Lambic is fermented more naturally than other beers, and sometimes has fruits added; yet the main characteristic is that it comes from Brussels.
Bir el-Ambic is the site of a well in the deep south of Jordan, in the Wadi Rum; which means that it is along the incense road from Petra to Yemen. There is a Nabataean temple next to Bir el-Ambic.

I'll drink to that!
We do have a wide variety of beers here, but I would probably offer a Sam Adams -- Patriot - Brewer.

Quote:What have we learned abou Trojan Horses? Not much, it seems.
At least at the White House, they still accept any visitor who might turn up, like this couple, who was not on the invitation list and still attended an official dinner.
(If only I could back to the age of Antoninius Pius and visit the Palatine...)

where, I would kiss ass big time, dazzle him with my knowledge of his enemies plans, through sign language and grunts obviously :roll: , and of course become his most trusted advisor, saving him from the ides of march, exposing the plotters, before hand blah de blah de blah....
Of course, I would be in my best kit, and have lots of techno aids to impart this info to him in latin, there by overcoming my poor grasp of latin! :wink:
