Watling... location of the final defeat of Boudica in AD 60 or 70 end of uprising against the Romans.

How do I know that? I don't remember reading about it... but the above popped into my head when I saw the Pub.

Saw some TV show on her. She probably was nowhere as good looking as the actress in the show.

And for some reason, I am reminded of a Monty Python sketch where there are gangster sheep hiding in the wainscoting.

Wainscoting? Sounds like a small town in Wales

Can't find it on youtube

On that holster- I have no personal experience with it, but general observations from similar types (some of the race holsters we use, like my CR Speed use very similar mechanics) are that if it holds the trigger guard tightly enough to be safe, it also holds tightly enough to potentially slow or restrict the draw. I also do not favor any system that precludes carrying with a round in the chamber. Another factor is that most of the weapon is exposed- to belly-button lint, perspiration, the sensuously groping hands of all your supermodel Latina friends, and whatever else penetrates the intra-trouser environment. The need to remove it to reholster seems a negative too- in a situation where you draw the gun discreetly, but do not need to use it after all, removing the holster seems likely to draw attention when you would prefer not. Given that a 'standard' pouch type holster adds only a thin layer of Kydex or leather to this one, I personally would pass on this one.
