nah --- create an  an anarcho-syndicalist commune taking turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week-- where all the decisions *of* that officer 'ave to be ratified at a
   special bi-weekly meeting-- By a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs--But by a two-thirds majority, in the case of more major issues ...

Either that or - get  some moistened bink laying about in a pond to lob a scimitar at you in a farcical aquatic ceremony

MBGA? We must first rescue our forum from failed and even incompetent leadership. This will be the most important election in the history of our forum. Under the current administration, we are a forum in decline.
We also have an ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRISIS of expat members from other forums – a massive invasion that has spread consternation, misery, crime, poverty, disease, and destruction to forums all across our land.
Then there is an INTERNATIONAL FORUM CRISIS the likes of which the world has seldom seen. War is now raging in Europe and the Middle East, a growing specter of conflict hangs over Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, and all of Asia, and our planet is teetering on the edge of World War Three, and this will be a war like no other because of what the weapons are.
It is time for a CHANGE. This administration can’t come close to solving their problems. They aren’t fierce people, except when they are cheating. We simply cannot sustain four more years of this administration's moderation.
Less than four years ago, I handed this administration the strongest forum in American history.
The greatest invasion in history is taking place right here in our forum — they are coming in from every corner of the earth, not just from South America, but from Africa, Asia, the United Kingdom, La Belle France, India (Land of Mystery) and the Middle East — they’re coming from everywhere, and this administration does nothing to stop them. They are coming from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums, and terrorists at levels never seen before.

Well if you mean the Empire and all that, they lost Australia after Churchill behaved like a total arse with John Curtin during WWII.   I cannot see India coming back and Canada and NZ have been ferociously independent for years and Fiji has swung strongly into the China camp. The Irish Free State has left the Commonwealth and is unlikely to ever want to be back as part of the Empire. Gambia is a mess, South Africa is run by the African national Congress who were never a fan of the Empire, Singapore is shaping up to compete with London as a world financial center, Zimbabwe is also a mess, Pitcairn is too small to count, Gibraltar is being locked out of the Shengen zone as we speak and let us not even talk about Iraq.

So a renewed post-Brexit British Empire based around Bermuda, Falklands and the Isle of Mann ... did I forget anything ?

*sorry, running out of creative ways to misspell it.

Seems that some have no regard for Dantheman. What he puts into having this forum or consideration for what he puts up with.

i suspect that one of the prerequisites for the moderator position is to take very little of the commentary personally.

What I care about right now is that ground squirrels will soon be taking over California. Will the world be next?   :o

The question is, are these critters EDIBLE for humans? Over here the grey squirrels which were brought in from the Americas have in all but a few locations completely driven out our native red squirrels. However, smart move by the reds, was to ensure that they were inedible for us, unlike the greys! This ought to mean I can go down to my local supermarket or farm shop for some grey squirrel meat, though apart from a few road-kill cafés it has never really caught on.

Just a thunk. We can eat the rabbits and pidgeons, so why not? Start digging out the rabbit recipes right away.

But will ground squirrels make good hamburger and a topping on pizza? And how do they go down with Coors light beer? That is what we want to know in the U.S.  ;)
