Yes, I can... its that funky shape at the bottom of England that points west
just south of Ireland. The area that bonnie prince chuckles is nominaly in
charge of.

Nope. Its a little motorscooter that is actually fairly common all across
Europe.

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder,
bloodshed - they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance.
In Switzerland they had brotherly
love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The
cuckoo clock!

I can recommend 'Travelling Man' at the Corn Exchange in Leeds,
'Spirit Games' in Burton-on-Trent, and the bizarely titled
'Not Just Stamps' in High Wycombe. There all fairy small independant
game stores, although Travelling Man is a small chain, I believe.
I have bought many up-to-date SR books from all of them and they
have lots of out of print 1st and 2nd Edition. I just got 'Dark Angel'
for £5 :) And the 'Cannon Companion' arrived on the Morning of the
28th of March in Leeds :)

<third party joins in with reeling frolicks> Well I have been to
the Druid Inn. You do get about a bit don't you, Rat
(meant in the nicest possible way :). Anywhere else in the UK
that we may have crossed paths at different times? ;p

...I wish I could shrink down to the size of an ant. And maybe there would be
thousands of other people shrunken down to ant-size, and we would get together
and dig tunnels down into the ground and live there. But don't ever call us
"ants," because we hate that.
