There's no "there" there.

[MajGenl.Meade]

I think you just started it!

[Rick]

1st: Meade it was not my intent nor my desire to start or continue to engage in a "spat" if I have offended I sincerely apologize (edit to include any that may have looked in on this thread also)

As for theories, it was a rogue wave image that cast a shadow large enough to be misconstrued as a land mass

or Moby Dick

[MajGenl.Meade]

Absolutely no offense taken and any caused is regretted. I'd still like to see what you look like in make-up.....

I like my Buttle theory better.

[oldr_n_wsr]

I still think Atlantis
not the resort, although if the resort fell beneath the waves, I would not shed a tear.

Gray hair white beard, I think bright red lipstick would be quite striking.

But that's just me...

[Gob]

Thank you gentlemen. As you were.

As I said earlier, the island is definitely Ys.

Ys, also spelled Is or Kêr-Is in Breton, and Ker-Ys in French (kêr means city in Breton), is a mythical city that was built on the coast of Brittany and later swallowed by the ocean.

Here's a nice tune about it, by the Breton harpist Alan Stivell.



This is taken from one of those albums which I have owned, firstly on vinyl, then cassette, then CD, now as MP3 on my ipod.

[Sean]

. . . and hey! I'm not "(what you said) English" anyway - my wife's from the USA!

Meade

My wife's from Truro but I'm buggered if that makes me Cornish!

[Gob]

My wife's from Truro, but I'm buggered. That makes me Cornish!

Your punctuation and grammar need work Sean.

[Sean]

Is that an ironic comma you've inserted there?

[Rick]

It's ironic that you've inserted commas there also?

Bugger...

[Long Run]

I think we can file this under the Power of Da Google -- creating a land mass where one did not exist.

Ah little grasshopper! When joke is over head, the true disciple will stand taller in order to intercept British disgustingly vulgar humour. Please insert the word Gob used in place of "what you said" and re-read sentence with mind freed from straitjacket of misconception.

Yeah, well, whatever...

[MajGenl.Meade]

Yeah, it isn't really funny. I haven't been "(what Gob said) English" since 1975. It's been Americans since then
I would like to apologise for continuing to breathe.

[Gob]

Accepted.

[oldr_n_wsr]

So have you stopped breathing?

[Sean]

Point taken. So your wife is Amish then?

[Lord Jim]

I would like to apologise for continuing to breathe.

Accepted.

Well, I'm certainly open to considering accepting that apology...

But I'm not prepared to lunge to the decision to accept it immediately....

After due consideration, in the fullness of time, it might very well make sense to accept Meade's apology for continuing to breath...

Though I'm not prepared to say that at this point in time, that it would necessarily represent the most prudent or best advised course...

[oldr_n_wsr]

Accept the apology as long as he promises not to do it again.

[Lord Jim]
