<<I remember the case, but don't remember how he made out.>>

He won.

Dear IP: what did he win except the publicity he wanted?

The real question is, what is it about the West Island that makes even transplanted poms living there reluctant to concede the possibility that any word used on both sides of the Tasman originated here?

Max, you misjudge me! Transplanted Poms (based on my highly statistically viable sample of three) just like stirring things. Especially as my boss is a transplanted Kiwi married to a transplanted Pom...

And of course I was really just asking in the interests of the TRUTH. (Nah, didn't think you'd believe that one!)

You want the truth? You can't ... no, wait, someone's already done that line. The truth is that trans-Tasman stirring is waaaay too much fun to stop.

Hmmmm.... West Island clearly rocks without the West Islanders being directly involved!

A New Hampshire man was convicted for removing the state motto from his license plates

I remember the incident but not complete story. However, NH now has a choice of plates but you have to apply ahead for specialized plates like POW and Purple Heart and Vet (for those you need proof of eligibility) and others with a Loon or Old Man of Mountain on it. We do have vanity plates, too which cost extra and must be specially ordered. Income generated by vanity plates go to Fish and Game Dept.
Regular plates just white with green letters/numbers and the state motto.
Will try to check it out and get back to you.
wow
EDIT : Ooopps ... already answered (Thanks IP) saving me the hassle! Guess his win is why we now have the choices!
