Mundane News (Part 1)

I'm sitting in silence because the remote for the stereo's too far away.

Welcome and tell all and which forum was that on ?

You may wish to mention that the US do not have an embassy or indeed any representation in Monaco despite the late Princess Grace being an American and that it was originally Italian being part of Genoa Republic.

Just something for your back pocket.

I have just been told off on another forum (nothing to do with cycling) because I contradicted someone and she is up the ar$s about it. I only pointed out that Scotland is not in England, Monaco is not in France and that Paris is not right next door and a short cab ride from Marseille.
I know that she is an American and all and that Europe is not her stamping ground but if I had said that Texas was in Canada she'd have pitched a fit. She says that she now feels victimised and that I am a bully. Oh she thinks that Norfolk is a country in the Irish Sea too.

Ask what map is she using if it shows Norfolk in the Irish Sea.

Noooo, Its a very female forum and the mushroom cloud emanating from the host server might well wipe out mankind.

So, we all sign on as females. If its female only wouldn't that be discrimination.

Actually isn't Norfolk a county on the East Coast of the US ? As well as being a very lovely county in the UK nowhere near the Irish sea.

It's a city in Virginia, one of their biggest naval bases.

Norfolk is a city in the State of Virginia. Norfolk naval base, the worlds largest, is located there.

About 98% of the forum users are women, not many men on there, although there is no reason that they couldn't join.

She was getting East Anglia muddled up with the Isle of Man.

Now that is very naughty Tempting though, very tempting. I shall see if I get any more snotograms though.

I used to love the Scarpetta books but have been seduced by the Tempe Brennan books now.

I have just made 1 litre of cherry jam, to go with my 2 x 250ml jars of cherry chutney. Cherry and Redcurrant chutney next. I have run out of ginger and salt though.

I think there should be a Norfolk in High Deer.

Just tested my smoke alarms.

A lot of house alarms have just gone off.

Either there is a power cut, or there is a synchronised Friday night burglary going on.
