Does the Readers Digest do Norwegian? It wouldn't be worth their while. Up there the people are more interested in Outdoor Activity: like whale catalogueing. http://130.241.163.46/spermwhale/ http://www.whalesafari.no/a/?id=31&vn=736

WHAT! Are you sure? Can I get a refund?

It's ok. I've no more money for stamps now anyway.

When you went for a spin, did you try... The ROUNDABOUT ?

manufactured at Bungendore Province, China. Here's the dyno stuff

Don't be concerned. He's probably just a typo. He's not really a signer, he's a singer. So that's alright then.

Yes. They are ignoramouses indeed. No. Certainly not. A semi-transparent Quiz Point to whoever guesses where it came from (though with a little adaption). Mr Wilson? These chaps should study the poll and increase their knowledge of world languages. A glance at Question One shows that Yes must be Ja and No must be Nei. If that's not right then I'm a Chinaman and the Poll is null and void. I rather like direktemeldinger.

Good

Are you American?

Those 'upgraded' points are soo much more tasteful than the old ones.

BTW, I took the idea for this poll from Too much information

Quite. And here's an example of just such a board from the wrong side of the pond. end-of-the-stick site across the pond Stick whitling is of course a popular passtime in the New World. There, a man or boy is only a big girl's blouse if he don't have a jack-knife in his pocket and a fair weight of shavings in his turn-ups. If you can't shave a pointy stick from a stave of firewood, well, it's all up: you might as well move to Canada and attempt to keep your spirits up with folk dancing. This probably belongs in Tech Topics, but anyway, I got these tips from one of JRT's favourite sites: Lumber the American Way. – The Best Way to Get the Wrong End of the Stick – A bundle of sticks is held in one hand with the wrong end of the sticks touching a flat table. A Big Stick, usually with a 'nice' grain, is set aside and can be used as a whitling stick during 'thinking', or 'resting', periods. The sticks are then released, and fall in a pile. The first player chooses a stick and removes it by hand by lifting it, pressing down on the right end of a stick, or clouting it out with the whitling stick. A turn ends if any bystander unintentionally gets the wrong end of the stick. The next player continues to extract sticks. The sticks may be worth differing numbers of points (based on how many wrong ends they have), each player trying to reach the highest total score possible.

Yes, you should be taking a fence.

Yeah. Seems to be one of those recent Chinese copies.

I suggest that we have a legitimate mechanism for reducing the ever-increasing size of Mike 'Mastermind' Wilson's underneath bit. As this is not the Quiz Forum, points gained here could be regarded as negative points. Therefore, a correct answer to a quiz here will result in a reduction of any disturbingly large display gained in that other place. Another possibility is that once, say, five ordinary points are obtained, then further points awarded are (very prestigious) invisible points. There need not be any limit to the number of invisible points that any one person may have in their signature. cultural Of course I meant, custard.

Point. It is. I figured that Mr R. must have knocked it up so as he could keep his tyre profiles in shape. That place where he lives seems to be a grid of straight roads...and desert. (No good denying it, PR. The camera don't lie.)

So, it should have been a quiz? Any more guesses? There is one person on the Forum who should know it. He lives in a desert, both geographically and culturally. He lives in a (small) town that seems to have only straight roads (which may explain someone's desperation to build a roundabout, the infinite corner). This is located on the outskirts of the town (though the town centre doesn't look much different, it's just without the curves). Post early for Christmas

What on earth! A roundabout in the dry desert wastes, with no roads.

mmm... can't wait 'til mine breaks again! (A chap from Sydney, Australia e-mailed over Christmas. His broke over the hols too.)

Ah SAGA. Excellent, new friends! er, I mean, friends! They must have a Forum somewhere. Oh, yeah, is it called MotoGuzzi Club, GB?

Okay, perhaps not the finest psychodelic, rock & roll band in the world, but still, it brings back warm memories of the early seventies when they backed John Lennon. Ho hum.

Yes indeed. Time is like the chocolate cake on the party table of life.

Yes, unfortunately a lot of things are piled on top of each other at this time of year, so it's 14 to 17 hour days and mostly 7 day weeks, plus my mother is ill. So I haven't had time to prepare for an mot so car failed and I haven't had time to book a retest or to fix vehicle plus I didn't have time to get to a motorbike MOT or to a hospital appointment plus I haven't had time to get a photo and to renew my driving licence which expired a few weeks ago. Etc. So things aren't going well on the time front. However there is no holding back the march of time and today is big *0 bithday time!

Glad to see you're doing the right thing and following instructions. It's only logical that you make me Chairman of the Board now.

Those would be the 'x-it' mints (sorry, back to the original subject now)
