Tim I am surprised by you 'Regnans in Exelcis' was a Papal bull excommunicating Queen Elizabeth. So its off to the Tower for you and Kevin

I take full responsibility for the title, so Kevin should be excused the Tower on this occasion.

As for my own alleged treason, and whether Good Queen Bess's excommunication is a matter of regret or rejoicing, in my defence I note that Elizabeth did not accept the authority of Rome. If she had regarded the Bull as anything more than "bull", the history of this blessed isle may have been rather different.

Oh, and I'm a lawyer and love a bit of Latin!

I like a bit of Latin too!

Oh - you meant the long defunct Roman language?

Sorry - caveat emptor! ( all I can remember!)

That was my plan, but also being tempted by something different

Hi all,

I am having an "issue" with my usual email address that so many of you have used for so many years now. There is a new gmail account set up - please see the WAR website for the tournament rules (click on the "Warfare competitions" tag on the right, then the competition rules are under the red banner "Final rules pack and Tims new e-mail address here").

Thanks all - please can you warn anyone you know who doesn't frequent these forums, as emails sent to my Tiscali account are, I think, just building up with no message back to the sender to tell them that I haven't received it!
