Couldn't do that with a 155mm M-777. Weighs a couple of tons. Be fun to watch tough.

Start with Churchill's staggering loss to Labor's Clement Attlee in 1945. In the 65 years since, GB has had exactly two decent PM's - Churchill again, and Thatcher. Come to think of it, in that same period we've only had (nominally) Eisenhower and Reagan; and we're pretty much where they are ourselves. The short answer then: liberalism.

MM, if you look farther down the list you will see a film titled "The Last Royal Tournament." this tremendous tradition was killed by Socialist Bean-Counters. Coming soon to a country near here.

B*stards.

These competitions were discontinued because of expense and injuries. The same reasons the UK has mostly canceled the activities after which they are modeled.

Thanks Rodger, I had been looking for this. I was telling friends I used to watch this on Wide World of Sports as a lad. No one else had seen it and I didn't use the right key words to find it I guess.
Manly indeed.
