*MWAH HA HA HA HA too... except louder and longer than when Mike did it* knew the cement threat would work :)
I've forgotten the very interesting thing I was going to say now... oh... *sudden beam of radiance* seems I haven't after all :) Fascinating how many nations are willing to take credit for that invention is it not people...? And there was I worried that I might upset someone from Ireland...
Anyway... I know I said I would tell you everything I know about reverse psychology today, and I'm sure I will, but it will probably be later than now now...
Hope that's okay? :)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
RE: ... I did worry for
Thank you for your concern. Five points :
- the incontinent of Orstralia does tend to look like lots of other jographies, especially after ethanol worship. Apparently alot of people kept running into it, thinking it was something else, and long before some poncy Yorkshire-man did.
- that's why nuclear war ought not be a democratic votey whatsit-thingy. We should be happy to let Dr LoveStrangle manage that for us. Except for a few Far Northern Thinkers, who know where the Chickz Republic is .... :-)
- we don't use Occidens, Meridies, Oriens nor Septentrio. It is Accidens ( most days we are prone ), Merrydays ( the day after Accidens ), DisOriens ( the day before Accidens ) and Serpentrio ( the three snakes that caused Accidens in the first instance ).
Cheers, Mike.

Surely you're not looking for St. Padraigh, are you? (Inquires the American who only knows enough European history to be dangerous.)
Two weeks ago and again this weekend, I had the pleasure of operating Illinois Terminal 415, a lightweight interurban/streetcar that can go anywhere in the museum that there's overhead wire. It's not that much different than running CTA 3142, the first car I qualified on. I really thought that after one day, I was ready to qualify, but there was no one present who could do that. This weekend, there were a couple of guys who could. There were also two of us who thought we were ready.
However, the qualifiers decided that it's too late in the season and we would forget too much over the winter. They also cited our total lack of dispatching experience, which is important because this is the car that operates on weekdays when the operator is usually also the dispatcher.
So, this coming Saturday, I'm going to ask if I can dispatch for the first time. Should be interesting. We're scheduled to have 415 just running on the Car Line and two trains on the Main Line (I'm conductor of one of them). The complication is that there is still a freight train parked on the main, so all trains have to work out of the east end of the station and will get in each others' way.

RE: - the incontinent of
Over here in jolly old Blighty we have a saying along those lines
"Dover for the continent, Eastbourne for the incontinent"
@Annie - "I'm also beginning to think Chris will be mistaking me for that Betty woman again..."
Would that be Frank Spencer's "spot of bother"? Nah, but ties in with your coronation as QAII though.

"The Hook-Flushing-Antwerp" ? That's a really long way to the toilet and by ferry too. No wonder they wound up incontinent ! Full bladder ruptures to be more exact !? :-)

Flushing is really Vlissingen, and I think North Sea ferry services stopped in 2005.

RE: RE: ... Frinton for
Frinton(-on-Sea) was probably chosen for this version of the joke because, famously, the founding charter explicitly outlawed pubs - in order to avoid attracting the wrong sort of resident. { those with exploding bladders, presumably }
Or, as The Guardian put it:
No whelk trade huh ? I can
No whelk trade huh ? I can see how that would keep the streets clear of undesirables. Snail sniffers the lot of them. Frinton was clearly kicked off by a bunch of grumpy mugs.
Cheers, Mike.
