GUPPY - Autumn 1902 GM Ally Bain
I was right; Turkey did end up with the upper hand. At least I now know why Italy was spreading them but I think Austria would have preferred them to go the other way & equally wished his boat had not been fixed.
Germany has plodded into Belgium & it looks like England had decided where to plod. I wonder if France thinks England is a plod?

Belgrade: Crowds lined the streets of Belgrade yesterday, as thousands of Serbian citizens turned out to celebrate Emperor Francis Joseph's visit to the newly annexed territory. Branko Maksimovic, a 48 year old turnip farmer, traveled more than 100 miles for a chance to see his new emperor. "When the Austro-Hungarian Empire annexed Greece last year, we worried that Serbia might be passed over." the farmer admitted. "Now we see that Serbia is included in Francis Joseph's plans. As the empire grows, we too will prosper." Rom: Plan! What plan? I have no stinkin plan. Lon-Par: The Empress advises that while you are sailing in the Med, remember your sunscreen or you'll get burnt. Lon-Ber: Like a beautiful rose, the Empress is admiring your growth. Con-Rom: I know the fishing is good over here, but don't you have something better to do? Spring 1903 deadline: 19:00 BST, 22nd April 2002.
