Another interesting one from TV. Do you know the origins of 'freelance' ?

Off the top of my head I'd say it might be related to samurai traditions.

I'll be brief as I'm suffering another migraine. From Wikipedia:

The idea was to get the dwarf to do his own homework.


:-( sorry. I should have read between the lines (but people keep
telling me off for that).





But not quite what I saw as an explanation on TV. Can't recall the
programme name, but English and the regular commentator had a somewhat
cockney accent. The series covered battles but primarily the techniques
of weaponry. (Not to be confused with that excellent series 'Battle' or
'Battlefield' - Sir Peter Snow (????), former ITV anchor and his son.
Using computer graphics for terrain layouts, they concentrated on the
game plan for specific battles).

I recall a small military bloke (Richard ?) giving lectures on major
battles (Agincourt, Waterloo, Trafalgar - all the ones that the French
prefer to forget) and some poor ones done by Peter Snow (you can catch
them on UK TV History on satellite) and his son. I thought PSnow's
were cheap tricks to catch the attention of casual browsers.
