No worries, it didn't occur to me to google, it's not the sort of thing that normally appears, so cheers.

On other wanderings I found this marvellous article about an old dulite and world war one.

okey doke, as in south of the river.

On first seeing it I originally took transpontine to mean across a bridge, but apparently it actually means across a sea from pontus rather than bridge from pontis, and has ended up meaning American.

But I digress......

another good article, he's right, there is something a bit special afoot

the tuscany reference dates back to the 80s when JD Beasley compared DKH to the hills of tuscany when opposing new buildzz

Funny, I've been chuckling yo the Tuscany one for years, nice to finally get the background on it.

It really is a bit carnival of late.

I watched a cushenstown hurling game once in horizontal raindrops the size of dinner plates.

It was actually a fantastic game, but carnival it wasn't. It definitely want Tuscany!!!!!!
