Thread Name: South Australia:What the hell's a 'Rolling King'?
Subject: RE: What the hell's a 'Rolling King'?
I have to agree with Naemanson and Amos above that "Rolling Kings" is really addressed to the intrepid work crew, you rolling kings, the bestest on the old hooker and the bestest on the seven or so seas.

"Ruler Kings" is just someone not hearing the words correctly and repeating that error for the dubious benefit of future generations.

And, Brett, you're thinking of Eric Newby, author of the Grain Races and Learning the Ropes.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
