I do believe they do a nice wine, and that's the stuff in the bottles, not the stuff in the Mudcat BS threads (spelt whine).

Supposedly they did comply with the rules to secede, but officialdom failed to take them seriously until after the time deadline had expired.

Whatever, when you ask the Federal Government or federal Departments about Hutt River, they all

1) Deny everything
2) Put their hand in front of their face
3) Laugh hysterically
4) Say "they're all crazy you know!"
5) Change the subject

Whatever, I haven't seen them in Court for failure to pay their taxes....

Say, doesn't Hrothgar work for some Federal Dept ;-)
