They have large animals in the armed forces? Do they get the whole VA thing too?

Make that middle part:

"Lord Admiral Lord Sprior"

Best to play it safe.

Pity that. They made for some fine archers.

Kevin Costner is one such example. I had not realized that Nottingham dialect left one with a decided Midwest American 'corn pone' accent, as noted in Mr. Costner's "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves" performance.

Here's a question for his...well...the chap known on THE THREAD as "sprior": With so many bloody "Robin Hood" movies laying claim to the Nottingham legends, you must have a ranking system for judging them? Care to let us in on your Nottingham-esque judgements?

Then you can safely claim it and no one will care.

Now I'm curious about what qualifies as a "small animal" and how those are used.

I figured you for the sort that likes your Robin Hood-Men in Tights. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
