Oh, and good luck all.
25 Feb 10 UTC Spring, 1: May you have good luck also, just not as good as mine.
25 Feb 10 UTC Spring, 1: Okay, you can have more luck than me, good as well as bad...

25 Feb 10 UTC Spring, 1: Very true, then we shall harvest a goodly crop...
25 Feb 10 UTC Spring, 1: I hope no-one has thoughts about actually crossing that Rubicon? I shall, of course, need to do so but anyone else attempting it - with or without elephants, will be severely dealt with.
25 Feb 10 UTC Spring, 1: Rubicon?
26 Feb 10 UTC Autumn, 1: The river in Italy crossed by Julius Ceaser on his way to take over Rome, situated on the Northern border of Ravenna in this particular map if anybody was wondering.

27 Feb 10 UTC Autumn, 1: Read the book, 'Rubicon' - absolutely brilliant. The exact location of the river/stream is not known.
27 Feb 10 UTC Autumn, 1: I knew that there was debate on the location. I'll check it out the book.
27 Feb 10 UTC Autumn, 1: maybe cos it does not exist anymore or never did?

27 Feb 10 UTC Autumn, 1: Maybe just a figure of speech? Maybe so Maybe one of any small rivers or streams whose ancient names are lost.
27 Feb 10 UTC Autumn, 1: yeah, or dried up due to climate change?
