Yeah, although the video and DVD boxes are too stylish and stylised to actually say what the hell the contents is.

it has 'Bonus Material' that includes Eddie doing Dress to Kill in French (should be very funny ), but there is no details on what the main content is. Odd ... and rather stupid.

I tried his website - www.eddieizzard.com funnily enough - last week but there was no mention of Circle.

Clearly, our FIRST diplomatic overture must be:

"Do you have a flag?"

Ok, REXing will begin very soon, so we should start naming our future cities (hence my bumb of this thread).

Going along with the "storm" theme and using the numbers from city placement proposal:

Site 1: Whirlwind
Site 3: Tempest
Site 4: Squall
Site 5: Typhoon
Site 6: Cyclone
Site 7: Gale
Site 8: Thunder
Site 9: Lightning
Site 10: Torrent
Site 11: Tornado
Site 12: Maelstrom

The names do not really have to go with the specific sites, I just thought this might be a good reference. Ideally we want the "cooler" names to be noticed more, so we should assign them to cities that will be producing Wonders or are close to the front.

Well... I was thinking on this, and might have a few myself. Thunder seems a bit common, so what about 'Thunder Cloud'? Further: what were the names of those superhurricanes? I thought Andrew was well known (at least in Florida), so maybe that might be another one.

Other things: is there a need why all of them should be in English? We have an international team, we might as well get some non-English storm related things in it. I already mentioned Bolderberg (tr: ThunderMountain), but was also thinking on Zuidwester (tr: South Westerner, the largest of Storms in Belgium and most of Western Europe), Drup (tr: drop, from the proverb "From rain to drop" (which is probably no Enlgish, but seems fitting in Dutch)).

Other languages: Mistral (desertwind), and Sirocco (also desertwind),... etc.

and in English: Tempest
