It isnt common in Scotland either, but Scotland were world champions at elephant polo, far more important than football and Rugby.

There is a Scottish branch in my family and my aunt and cousins never told me about that...
Congratulations, you are the world elephant polo champion.
When I worked in France a guy I worked with from Marseilles always said it was a good game if France won, but if England won he didnt accet that they were playing "the proper Rugby"
Marseille is a Soccer city.
You will find the hard core Rugby supporters in the west side of France.

I dont know where he was from originally, he was working for a steel trading company in Marseilles, he was a rugby fanatic, never mentioned football at all.
A company called IMS ?
No, the company was/is called Phoceenne de Metallurgie now part of the Allied International Group, he had an "English" name Bateman, the same as one of my schoolteachers but was 110% French lol

One of my colleagues at Military History Museum have sent me a couple of PDF versions of Military History books about Iran Iraq War, along with this message:
"Happy new year, old friend! I hope you like my gift."

Agreed.
My grandmother immigrated from Czechoslovakia in the early 1900's and when I was a kid every Christmas Day was dinner at her house with all my aunts, uncles and cousins on dad's side of the family. It was generally pretty boring for by brother and I but what I wouldn't give for one more dinner cooked by her, especially the kolache with fruit topping.
I loved my mom and she was a good cook, but...

The weather is actually somewhat nice, work day is almost done, I think I am finally over whatever stomach ailment has bee bothering me for a week, and I have Guinness in the fridge that I did not drink last Friday (St. Patricks Day) that is calling my name. I think there is only one though, so will have to pick some more up on the way home.
