Well I must correct your.

Article 137 of the Constitution of the German Reich (Weimar Republic) is still in force.

It states:

"Art. 137

(1) There is no state church.

(2)The freedom to form religious communities is guaranteed. The formation of associations of religous communities is possible.

(3)Every religious community orders and administers their affairs on their own within the legal boundaries. They grant offices without influence by the state or public communities.

(4)Religious communities gain legal capacity under the general provisions of the civil law.

Gerry Adams and Ian Paisley were both Irish politicians. The former was in the IRA and wanted Northern Ireland to join the Republic. The latter formed the Democratic Unionist Party and wanted Northern Ireland to remain in the UK. He, like Adams, had connections to terrorist organisations, though his were of a unionist persuasion.

Oh okay. I must say that British politics works quite different than the German. E.g. debates in the House of Commons always appear to me like a big mess or a giant discussion in a tavern. Everyone shouts and yells and interrupts the orator.

It doesn't seem very ordered and organized. It surprises me that this 'giant mess' rules a country for many centuries without blowing the nation up. :P

Peng, your thoughts are my own. The House of Commons "debates" are atrocious. I sometimes sit there and think, "this Parliament once ruled the world's largest empire." The politicians in Westminster are corrupt, inept and out of touch. Debate in the Scottish Parliament is much more civilised. Our Scottish Parliament is modeled on the European style of PR and the horse shoe shaped chamber which fosters consensus and discussion. The Westminster layout deliberately stokes tribalism.

The horse shoe shape is much better. You can still look at them in the face. You stand up and can speak to them, as well as the chamber in general. It's much more civilised. We also have computers and voting buttons in the Scottish Parliament, and there is no poncy titles either. No "Right Honourable" this and that.

"Following new legislation in Percyton, consuming ecstasy is a common rite of passage."

Well that's nice! I'm glad people in Percyton celebrate their coming of age by being happy and joyful! I'm still not sure how you can 'consume' ecstasy, though, since it's a feeling and not an object. A typo, maybe? *Driver whispers and explains what 'ecstasy' is* Ooooh. Oh. That's... kinda messed up. They shouldn't be doing that to themselves.

Russkov Soviet, you'll be happy to know that I've asked around, and there is some interest in having a railway race with your country.

To my surprise, Gordon is willing to race again, although this time he's not going to bother with streamlining, and he's going to make sure he has his safety valve. Me and Thomas also managed to talk Hugo into competing, as he's probably the fastest rail vehicle owned by Sodor Railways (top speed of 143 miles per hour/230 kilometers per hour), though he's still very nervous about it. Lastly, Spencer and the Flying Scotsman (Gordon's cousin and brother respectively) have also shown interest. They're both from the Mainland, and they raced on behalf of the Mainland at the last Great Railway Show, but this time, they said they're willing to compete either as a Mainland team, or as part of a joint Mainland-Percyton team. Philip the Boxcab Diesel is also willing to return to his role as Percyton's mascot/flag carrier, provided he doesn't meet any "big scary bully steamies" (a reference to Vinnie, an American tender engine who bullied and harassed Philip at the last Great Railway Show).
