The word garlic comes from Old English garleac, meaning "spear leek." Dating back over 6,000 years, it is native to Central Asia, and has long been a staple in the Mediterranean region, as well as a frequent seasoning in Asia, Africa, and Europe.

Looks pretty good. All but one in a jacket, most with westcot, a fair number of musket.

What's shown of the sword and targe looks pants though..very pants...girly pants....big pink girly pants, I suppose that's why there isn't much of it in the clip.

I've always thought it would be fun for a couple of large bearded blokes to moll up, and go to an officers tent to give his change from the night before.

Watch an episode of Sharpe, and you have the tune. It is a recycle of a recycle of a....... The tune is used for a lot of broadsides and ballads of the period.

I will ask the wife if she will do it. it will be recorded on either the violin (if home made pick-up works) or mandolin.

Unfortunately that's no good Matt, as they want civilian and all those listed are military.

I'm doing Royal Ecosse in short coat (1st photo), Tod has the full length one (2nd photo with colour) and Paul is Princes Life Guard (full length next to water) and not Royal Ecosse (you probably already knew that, but we so commonly get told we are redcoats especially in Scotland :cry: ). We know i...

The stepson is really keen to do 1940s and the wife quite fancies giving it a go. He is 9 but said he wants to wait until he doesn't have to wear shorts (he will if others are wearing them). Our main period is 18th century and probably would only do the occasional event. I drive, but the wife doesn'...

some words for Sellenger's from Pills to Purge Melancholy (1707), there are probably several different words and name for the tune. There was a fair maid of Islington As I heard many tell And she was going to London town Her pears and apples to sell. As she was going along the road a vintner her did...

According to http://www.folkofthewood.com/page4779.htm the bridge can be shaved to assist double stopping.

My understanding is that it's the same instrument, but what makes the difference is how it's played, a violin is under the chin and with more defined standards, where as a fiddle isn't and more free style.

Do you think we could get lace wars up for this? Put it to Tod, the sooner it's pencilled in the more chance. I'm sure some of us will be up for it, though I believe the red coats are doing a couple of SYW trips in 09 and may not be able to get significant numbers. This may give those of us with ki...

We have members from all over (from Norway to Dorset) who will be able to help out.

Aesthetics. pure and simple aesthetics. or so I was told (possibly by George)

how many highlanders will it take to correct the orientation one quiet night in December?

I think Tod means from the kettle not the bladder.

Shame Dingo wasn't at GPM, it would have been hilarious seeing him try to pee down the hot barrel after any of the skirmishes.

So Steve that's you and me talking to Gary at the fayre then? I'm just arranging to get a bigger cabinet :twisted: :lol: We'll have to sort a footpad event out and see how many small children wet themselves :twisted: blunderbus' weren't common and were carried by the higher ranking.

That IS more scary. Though I do like the BSA

Hopefully they will be posted somewhere as A-M was busy cooking and I didn't get a chance.

Oh by the way 4am is wrong in too many ways, you should be tucked up in bed.

Normal time for going to bed at events , just ask Jerry.

John it's not the adults you need worry about being a bad influence, it's Jacob and Finn. Several trees will be climbed, waist high in stinging nettles and at least one grazed knee. So pack a suitable first aid kit
