Hi there,
Interesting idea with the group you plan to gather together: I suggest a Korean with a Japanese, an Iraqi with a USA ex-POW in Golf, a French historian with a German historian, a Romanian historiograph with a Hungarian revisionist. Wouldn't that be a fantastic talk?
Yours,
Marlowe

It was announced last week that, starting next year, history books in France and Germany will be the same (except the language of course). See, things are changing...

Erm. It would either be fantastic, or turn into a classing western/cowboy bar-room brawl. Tables and chairs flying, whiskey bottles getting smashed on heads, etc.

Or if you're going to be realy historically accurate, it was the Austrians. Specifically, a single Austrian.

'Scuse me, but I have it on VERY good authority that it was the Welsh who started both world wars. Something to do with sheep stealing and Rebecca's Daughters going out in the middle of the night to pull down tollgates...(then getting ahead of themselves and hiring themselves out as renegrades; it was these strange blokes in womens clothes who offended the Germans, thus starting both wars).....
I didn't make Becca's Daughters up, honest......(but I did fib about annoying the Germans!!!)

Oh, to sit down with Vauc, Quasimodo and CD. What a lovely little chat we'd have, hmm?
