Helen of Annoy Posted March 23, 2019 #8277 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Absolutely, and Charlie and Jura and... but how can you tell which one of them you found? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purrrpetrator Posted March 25, 2019 #8278 Share Posted March 25, 2019 wouldn't you just check the last entry in your passport? and confirm (via GPS/GLONASS -- AND, if they're insisting they'd never heard of either Jura or Charlie, but that the decidedly Waldo-looking chap is actually someone called Hugo) that you're most likely in Sweden? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen of Annoy Posted March 25, 2019 #8281 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Well, yes, but don't I always insist I must be able to override everything and anything manually? So there... we are... in Sweden... while I was going to see Hessdalen lights, which is not that far away, to be honest, so can we say something positive, like 'at least I landed at the right peninsula'? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purrrpetrator Posted March 25, 2019 #8282 Share Posted March 25, 2019 yes a positively charged particle landing but were you deliberately avoiding the isthmus? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ouija ouija Posted March 27, 2019 #8288 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Wasn't that when it was first mentioned? You know, 'yomping over Goose Green'. Wasn't it the first time anyone other than soldiers had used the word? Would you Adam an' Eve it, the Urban dictionary(amongst others), agrees with me?

acute Posted March 27, 2019 #8289 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Aren't you reading too much into a word that I have used almost since I was able to yomp? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ouija ouija Posted March 27, 2019 #8290 Share Posted March 27, 2019 'Since I was able to yomp'?! Good Grief! How often did your parents send you, as a small child, on long marches carrying heavy equipment? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acute Posted March 27, 2019 #8291 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Isn't all ancillary equipment heavy when you're a child, whether you're down the mines or up a chimney? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen of Annoy Posted March 27, 2019 #8292 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Are you suggesting children should be sent to mines or up the chimneys without necessary equipment? Wouldn't productivity suffer? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen of Annoy Posted March 29, 2019 #8300 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Me? Not really, wouldn't a štorka/schtorka, or someone under schtorka control, be someone exploiting children, denying them health care and education, letting them die from preventable diseases and hunger, instigating wars in their homes and such? Isn't it morbidly funny that you can't really be 'successful' in today's society without being possessed by bloodthirsty demon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
