On the archipelago of one of their former colony’s southernmost states, two athletes (both subject to the Monarchy) were victorious in their quest to be the fastest Iron-people on the planet. Mr Craig Alexander (aka Alexander the Great) of the former colony of Australia and Ms Chrissie Wellington formerly of Feltwell, originally from Bury St Edmunds (Suffolk) partook in the Ironman Triathlon on the island of Kona. And they were resplendent in all their glory. Britannia, it seems, is slowly edging its way back on to the map.

Where were the Germans and the Americans you might ask? Well, here’s Faris showing how he got a drinking problem from too many Oktoberfests.
And TJ Tollakson puts into practice what he’s picked up from the fighter pilot engineers at Top Gun.
