Pretty harsh on the French to say they're all diseased. I mean more than average maybe, but not all of them  ;)

Interesting the the two have historically called syphilis "the French disease" and "the English disease". Even odder that neither blamed the Americans, though it came from there.

As diseases can't be caused by clean people like wot us are, it stands to reason they must be caused by dirty foreigners, innit? ;)  That was probably the Americans' reasoning, though with "gosh darn it" instead of innit. It's an internet fact which i just made up that 55% of all Americans have fake noses due to syphilis.

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

It is in Widnes. In Runcorn, it is called the Widnes disease.

Sorry. In Thai, the number 5 is hah, spoken with a falling tone. Anyone who's lived here, including locals, uses that to show laughter.

That's some nice work there Ken!  Consistent finish, too.  My quality drops if I paint more than 2 or 3 models at once.
