I like that mate 

I have one question however. Would the P.D.R. have kept the name Victoria given the state was named after the monarch ?

I believe I covered that point in part one of my Brief History of the PDRV.

Various names are proposed to replace Victoria but it is retained when it is pointed out to the people by the ruling workers committee that the name can be taken to represent victory of the proletariat over the oppressive British tyranny.

You have obviously forgotten reading it.

I really must get round to writing part two.

Is that your portrait, Fred? 
I preferred you as Hello Kitty-with-Kalashnikov.

Heh heh heh.  No, that's not me.
Looks like Matt Damon.
I look more like Adrian Edmonson.  Especially as he has gotten older and greyer and lost his hair.

I stopped using Hello Kitty with AK47 because someone else here was also using it and It confused me (easilly done).
And that's not a complaint - it's a pic I found on the interweb and so is fair game for anyone to use.
