Sir wotsisname Raleigh was
Sir wotsisname Raleigh was also famous for introducing tobacco. The bloke with the shiny bit on his head was James 1. The Spanish have always had short fuses, both in temper and bombs, comes with all the Paella and gutrot wine they drink. Yet the Jerez area produces some of the best sherries in the word, and their Cava is half decent. But they prefer Rioja!*
My favourite age was 57 actually. Old enough to get some respect, young enough not be a pensioner, and on top of my game. Could have been that age forever. Now I'm in the three score and ten bracket, I have to keep reminding myself not to traditionally pop my clogs!
Oi!!! (Annie dared me) That bloke looks like a young Tiny Tim, you know, that bloke with the Uke, tiptoing thru summat or other ...
Where was it SW of London?

Why do doctors have to practice?

Catching up on things I
Catching up on things I failed to say before...
Mike: that cake looks wonderful.
Annie: if you liked that video, you should also watch this one. It came out VERY soon after the movie, and frankly is the best thing about the movie. For a few months, I could actually recite (to say sing would be rather kind to me) it from memory.
Wally: actually, I'm not absolutely sure he was born in America. If he was in fact born in Ukraine, his name was probably Vladimir. This does not mean any of us are vampires.
Mikey: Stephen and Ursula moved from Goudherst, Kent, to Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1642(ish). Seven ensuing generations of sons were born in that same commonwealth, until my great grandfather moved to Indiana. His sons and grandsons (and great grandsons, my cousins) were born there, but that is apparently as far as it will go for that state. I have and will have no kids, cousin 1's four were born in Wisconsin (so far; if there are any more, they could be born in Dr. H's neighborhood, in Papua New Guinea), and cousin 2 is thus far as unmarried as I am (but he still has time, being much younger).
Other Wally: yeah, there's also that disgusting weed he carried over there, but Annie is quite adamant that she's looking for something to do with tubers.

RE: .... but Annie is quite
Hey I have an idea ! Let's NOT ask Annie what she'd adamantly like to do with tubers ..... :-)
??? freaking wonderful ?? :-)
Cheers, Mike.

Well our family house called
Well our family house called Shady Grove was in Northern Virginia right outside of Washington D.C in Essex County Virginia on the Rappahannock River
and old towns around there had British names since the family came over from Ewell in Surrey England and Bampton, Oxfordshire, England
(since I have never been there I probably get the directions to London mixed up)
Great-grandfather was born 29 Dec 1664 Ewell, Surrey,England and died in Caroline County, Virginia around 1749
and his father born Abt 1630, Bampton, Oxfordshire, England
My grandfather was born in 1899 (died 1983) in Cleveland County N.C and his father was born in 1852 Cleveland County, North Carolina (died in 1922)
and my great-great grandfather was born in 1806 in Virginia and he was the one that moved to N.C. and died there in 1888 retired Captain of the Confederate army.
Here is a picture of Shady Grove in 1936 before it was torn down.
It was located two miles south of the Rappahannock River, and eight miles below where the village of Port Royal now stands.
Ewell in North Surrey is not
Ewell in North Surrey is not that far from me, strictly it is SW OF London, not in London itself

Awwwwwwwww :) Thank you
Awwwwwwwww :)
Thank you for consulting your tuber bear, MAGIC :)
Why I find cooking so boring these days, and getting more and more so, is because, here, they weed out all the fun vegetables :( and fruit! :(
Unless you can grow your own or can get to farms and such - they're one big bland YAWN.
These are the kind I like :)
(there were quite a few very rude ones too but I... oh lovely - left talking to myself again...)
They would have had to drag me out, Mikey - not because I would have put up a fight or anything - but because *give einsteinians a frank look* I would have been unconscious.
is it because, like all of our overseas territories, they're tax dodge heavens for our piggies, Chris?
I am - and prior to him banging on about rhubarb, Mike had already raised the possibility that I was banging on about tobacco.
Well... inserting them into some form of cooking device to tell the time (amongst other things - like feeding themselves) is how they started out - and then *give einsteinians a wally look* ... when they got presented to Lizzie the wunth - the English reputation for poor cooking... may have been born...

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

I LOVE brussel sprouts!!
I LOVE brussel sprouts!! :)

erm... having a few problems with your Forbes link - not that I'm likely to take as gospel anything that was published by an organization crawling with 0.01 percenters and about 0.01 percenters, but it's interesting so see how the mniority live nevertheless :) gives me something to elevate my nose at :)))
And while I'm here... think green

A spud based time standard.
A spud based time standard. Why didn't I think of that* ? That way we could discover the Higgs Potato : the one that adds mass to all others. :-)
I'm off to Canberra to get approval for The Large Potato Collider.
Cheers, Mike.
* because I'm not a nut-job, that's why.

The Large Potato Collider!
The Large Potato Collider! Well I do hope it's taken more seriously than the last one.
@Chris: you will be pleased to know I finally got into Forbes's listings :) possibly on the same page as you did... :) I did see that they've been desperately trying to clean up their act recently ... erm... not Forbes, Gibraltar - but only since America started sniffing at their tax and banking system :) I wonder, did all our overseas territories get panicked into behaving too? :) so I will cede ground to you and your OI!! :)
