Now,shrunk an inch on the height,grown by 60lbs,but still able to always defend myself.

Thanks.
I would not have guessed any of that.
How would you have rated Roy Jones jnr?

It often depends on how much time I have as to whether I submit a combined post (which takes longer) or separate ones (which are quicker). I have posted many times both combined postings (lots of quotes of other posters in one posting) and postings with many links in one thread (for instance, the thread on Lady Thatcher started by me the other day - before you brought this matter up - in the British Politics section has about ten links in the first posting to it from me).

I also cannot always put all links into one combined posting because I often find more links after an initial posting has been made but then cannot re-enter my original posting to add them in (one cannot edit a posting after more than 15 minutes after it has been made). You may not be aware of this.

Thank you for your agreement on this RJT.

Governments should not be killing (i.e. state murder: death penalty).

"Thou Shall Not Kill" - Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 5:17.

Is it not possible to be both equally?

I notice that the Bavarians see themselves as both Bavarian and German equally.

Me too.

He really turned things around - knocked to the ground in the first round but coming back to win.

A great and deserved victory for him.

Simply,THE BEST.

Further to this,I would say the result of a RJ Jr contest would show a knockout of Calzaghe by RJ Jr,probably before the end of the first half of the fight.

Calzaghe,is verging on excellence,but,RJ Jr is far too fast for him,and I mean,far too fast by a long way.

Why and under what circumstances would I be called a Scot?

There's only one way to guarantee someone being described as English and not British...

and I think you know what it is...

Akria,
Do you jump on any passing bandwagon or do you agree that consistency enhances ones life?

Besoeker,
I doubt that you have been mistaken for an Englishman unless it were outside of the UK. I have heard of a Scot being mistaken for an Irishman and vice versa but hat is because of the closeness, when used apace, of the accent.

I've been mistaken for a Scot on many occasions, though funnily enough not in Scotland...
