    It's a little known fact that as the battle of New Orleans was fought after peace was signed between Britain and the USA it's the first recorded case of the Americans killing British servicemen while at peace with them. Of course we had to wait for over a century before they started killing us while we were on the same side.

    Happy independence day and point that thing in the other direction will you

    Look on the bright side, Yampster; Serena and Venus demonstrated that all's fair in love, war and tennis, and went on to thrash the Aussies...

    Wait a minute, Yampster, you rewrote history on that one! Both countries were at blame in breaking that Peace Agreement. In fact, England provoked us into having to defend New Orleans as England was trying to capture New Orleans AFTER the Peace Agreement was signed!
