Good morning Everyone
Just about to set off on my travels to bonnie Scotland.
Then I feel rather smart because I correctly deduced that Fluff was Mrs Goggins in the Daily Quiz. Just never had the bottle to ask. :thumbup:
Whoops two things there redface
Is it not written, in religious texts, that one should honour your parents.
If so then the religion of your parents is irrelavent.
Where is the largest volume of fresh water to be found?

My nickname causes a little confusion, and was once the target of abuse at a munch.

What's your nickname - surely Mancunian is self-explanatory (unless you're from darkest Aberdeen originally)?
You would have thought so, however....
I was born in the North West near to Manchester, living there for nearly 20 years, and have a mancunian accent as a result. With the exception of a two year spell I have lived in Yorkshire, South and North in that order, for nearly 30 years.
When I came here I choose 'Mancunian' as my nickname (username). It's my heratage not my present location.
One lady asked me if I cared to call for a drink one evening whilst I worked in North Yorks. She obviosly hadn't read my profile because she didn't know I lived here.
Another member berated me using Manchester and it's weather as a scource of abuse. This in a NE room. He assumed due to the geographical nature of my name I lived in the NW. It was a while before I went back there.
Finally leaveing a munch in Yorkshire my name badge was grabbed by a lady on her way out and who announced to her companions 'look here's another one from across the border', indicating her lack of knowledge of where I lived and that perhaps people from outside Yorkshire shouldn't attend Yorkshire munches. Fortunatly she was the only person I met to voice such an opinion.
I'm seriously considering changing my nickname to something non geographical.
Well I think I've told you all more than one thing there.
What's the point of many religious festivals now as most of us couldn't care less except for the fact we get a few days off, or in the case of christmas totally wasted, not everyone I hasten to add, but you get my meaning.
I quailfy for all except 22, and 23.
I spend my time on my lappy recreationaly. The TV is poor as far as I'm concerned and you can't meet people with a TV, unless of course you are selling it down the pub. wink
Many is the roman port that no longer reaches the sea due to silting up.
I'm glad you only spit figuratively as you know my feelings on spitting.
I can't do all the fancy stuff that others can do but non the less I'd like to wish you Happy Birthday and hope you have a wonderful time celebrating.
At the risk of being simplistic, had the Germans succeeded in invading the UK, regardless of when the Americans arrived things would have been different. Where else could the allied forces have amassed an invasion force. They should have pushed ahead and invaded first, then had a go at the Russians. That would have stopped the Americans and the other nations involved from attacking the western front.
Interestingly they and Napolean were befeated by the Russian weather haveing not taken it into consideration. Napolean lost and the Germans didn't learn from it, or assess their enemy properly or the weather.
Big German mistake was to open two fronts thus splitting their rescources.
The americans confronted with two fronts decided to let one roll back, defeat the other them turn and push back.
