Yeah, the location on a hill is really good. I was just thinking of a ditch about maybe 5 blocks deep and 8 blocks wide up against the outer wall. The walls that are already on the edge of the hill don't need it.

A good example of what I'm thinking of is Coch Castle in Wales.

I like the aesthetic, with a Norman style keep and the gatehouse on the curtain wall.

Have you considered digging a moat around the outside of the curtain wall? You could flood it too, but most actual medieval moats were dry. Their main function is to make the walls harder to ladder over and to stop siege towers from reaching the walls.

Yes, Nigel Farage praised the appointment as the article says.

Farage has meanwhile said that he "might disagree with Mandelson on his politics, but he's a very intelligent man" and would be good choice for ambassador.

This is the most evil comment I've seen in a very long time. The thought of someone burdening themselves with high interest debt. Debt that they don't have the money to pay back. because if they don't, they'll die. That's sickening.

Unless of course you think it's a serious solution. Then it's just plain ignorant. Clinical idiocy levels of stupid.

Kilometers are too small for our giant country.

Fortunately for NASA, space is actually smaller than the USA. Otherwise km would be totally unworkable.

I'm guessing that you have to use meters instead of yards when designing tall buildings? Yards would be too small for most skyscrapers.
