I'm not on the forum for long having to come and go between jobs, the boss is ill so I have been promoted from general dogsbody to chief cook and bottle washer.

So somewhat delayed

usual suspects are as Rich says if the cap fits wear it, i guess he has taken his off, and Col's BMW has a fuel leak i believe from another thread:D

Dan I don't have to worry about the weather, I sit at home retired thinking about all those poor s*ds fighting their way to work, then go and make a cup of coffee :cool:

I'm now going to start calling myself Scandinavian-American and want a holiday to celebrate my Scandinavian heritage :D

I also want my own tv channel - VET (Viking Entertainment Television) :)

Why don't you set your alarm clock a little later so you don't have to think about it so much? :p

The little scene with the Indian and the Mad Fool English Lady shows how one person's blizzard is another person's pretty day.

Last I looked, upstate New York was getting over 100 inches of snow this week. (Early Feb. 2007).

I can remember when New Orleans had enough snow for me to build a snow man in the back yard. About 1956, if I recall correctly.

But the real fun and games was in the 1970's when we didn't have snow - but we did have sleet. Heck, these Cajuns down here can't drive straight on a good day. On a slippery day? Shoot, I've had better traction wearing ice skates. And made more progress going forward in them.

My wife found out that her father was part Canadian Indian (Inuit I think is the preferred term?)
And her mother's parents were both Scottish.
So can she claim to be a Scottish-Inuit-Australian? :D

Me, I'm an English-Irish-and-a-bunch-of-other-things-Australian :p

Canadian - Indian and Scottish, so where did the Australian part come from? :confused:

As for me, I'm English, Scotch, Irish, French, German, and Native American (Cherokee nation).

Of these, my usual introduction is "Through these veins flow only the finest Scotch." (Which isn't true, I sometimes imbibe the cheaper stuff if it is free.)

Technically, I'm a cousin to that great American humorist and journalist, Mark Twain. His real name was Samuel L Clemens. My mother's mother's mother's mother was Sally Clemens, who was the great man's sister or cousin or something. Of course, the relationship is so tenuous and distant that the estate doesn't even send me a Christmas card. Typically tight-fisted estate managers can't even spare a card to their cousin. Hmmmmph!
