How come you folk always call those hills in the background mountains? :rolleyes

Cheers
Cliff :D

"A mountain is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain in a limited area. A mountain is generally much higher and steeper than a hill, but there is considerable overlap, and usage often depends on local custom. Some authorities define a mountain as a peak with a topographic prominence over an arbitrary value: for example, the Encyclopædia Britannica requires a prominence of 2,000 feet (610 m). "

Apparently. . . . . . :rolleyes

Ahem! Mt. Robson, just north of Ma's current location: 3,954 metres. :D Canada rules!

Perambulant Other
 

Derek,

Ectoo-ally.... no kid. Two Military vehicles, Babe and Giles, and warm companion wife-woman entity; Lynn.

Re: Perambulant Other
 

Well, it was a good guess. LOL! I figured Giles was either a pet or a kid.



:cheers: :salute: :drunk: CHIMO!

Cliff, since we're on the subject, can anyone name the tallest mountain on the planet?

Not tallest but ...
 

Are these NOT mountains? :p (I see this view from my room)

Or these?
 

Are these NOT mountains either? :p (the view down the block ... ICEY CRAGGY MOUNTAIN TOPS!)

Re: Not tallest but ...

I knew you'd get it R. I very carefully chose the word "tallest" instead of "highest"

Well done!

Memorial Wall
 

Here is a photo of the War Memorial Wall Mural here ... the mural was painted by a local artist Joseph Cross in 1999 and was "DEDICATED in 2000" and it honours those from this community area "VALOUR REMEMBERED" who served in all the wars from the Boer to fairly present-day Peacekeeping missions. On the back of the mural is all the names. Behind the wall (on the names side) is a cenotaph as well.

Karmen

... a detail from the mid-section of the mural depicting D-Day Juno Beach landings ... The words painted are "VALOUR REMEMBERED"

... the back of the Wall listing all the names ...

Re: Yappy for breakfast
 

Gourmet nuts??????

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Wot? Bits of Egon Ronay's nadgers in every box?

Surely some mistake?

R.

Re: Re: Yappy for breakfast
 

Not the sort that get frozen off brass monkeys in places like Canada!

Gourmet nut = any nut other than a peanut.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I think I just pissed m'self... :D :D :D

Re: Re: Re: Yappy for breakfast
 

Ah, I see.

Now, can you give me the origin of "Brass monkeys" meaning very cold?

Englishmen refrain from tippy-tappy electronic signals if you would whilst our antipodean chums have a go; think of "England expects. . . . . . ." Keefy.

:D

Re: Re: Geoff-re a kilt
 

Check out e-pay for MacKenzie kilts. My Mark II bought a Black Watch kilt for CDN$100.00 in time for his high school graduation. This is for a light weight dress kilt, not the freaking 20 pound enough-material-to-sheet-a-ship, battle kilt.

DP:
 

Someone in here emailed me to ask what "DP" means ... "displaced person" ... in the context I used it was about "displaced from my natural Aussie environment perhaps? :) ) but read on for the usual understanding of the term "DP" ... :note:
