If this theory is at all true... Wouldn't it be very profitable to start making ammo, and charge double price?

Yes, that would be very profitable. Good luck finding the materials required.
A lot of the major producers are in long term contracts with the government at FIXED prices, so they aren't able to gouge.

Thanks for the chuckle.

I settled down in Waterstone's bookshop this afternoon with a leisurely coffee and a book on quips made by people. One that tickled me was an exchange between an Irish rugby player and England's legendary rugby hooker Brian Moore.
The Irish player asked him "What are you going to do for a face when Saddam wants his arse back?"
Moore replied "I'll smear it with sh*t first like he did when you used it."

Moore is indeed a legend. The only man I've ever seen win an otherwise unwinnable match by deliberatly setting out to get punched in the face.
England were 2 points down to the French with seconds on the clock and French had the ball, Brian has a 'quiet word' with the French captain who responds by punching him full in face right in front of the Ref. Penalty to England, the match in the bag and there's Brian Moore, blood running down his face, laughing like a drain. I've no idea what he said to the French captain but he knew exactly what he was doing and exactly how to make him explode right on que. I've not read his bio 'Beware of the Dog' but it could just as easily have been called 'Winning Ugly'. He was the master of that.

Perfect. I can just picture it.
I might be wrong but I think he was also the player who opened up and made public that he'd been sexually abused when he was a young lad.
Now that I've read more about him I'll look for his bio when I'm at the library next.
When he played with Jason Leonard and Jeff Probyn I don't think there was a better front row in rugby at that time in the world. It would be fair to mention the three of them with the same respect as the Pontypool front row that played for Wales in the 70s.
They were bloody tough blokes for sure.

I have supped ale with that front row. Moore is an amazing guy, so clever and articulate yet full of rage especially on the pitch.

Well, is this not the general way of playing of England ? Panache is something long forgotten.

Things have changed a lot since those days when panache was not forgotten simply despised. These days all international teams are more similar and the players perhaps less crazy than they were in the amateur era. It's still the oldest and one of the most successful English tactics to do as they did against Ireland 2 weeks ago and 'bring on the beasts' which always reminds me the way Probyn and Leonard used to play. They sub in huge men who may not have the fanciest skills but can simply crush the opposition, batter them into the ground. It works best in heavy rain of course like much that is English. As a tactic it has seldom failed except against South Africa and Argentina who do it even better than we do. You may remember Brieve had great success for a couple of seasons some years ago playing in the same way. It's is surely not pretty but still great to watch.

I have found it, at least the 1960's version.[^] I hope they managed a decent plot when they cut together the small series to a movie. There goes the afternoon...

This is so accurate, how could they have known!!

It was a nice little series with only seven episodes. They never made more because of the production costs. For more than 40 years they have kept us waiting

I vote that priority be given to Firefly.
