I have studied a certain amount of U.S. history, but I have to admit beyond the name (and I could probably get within a decade or two of the dates)I can remember nothing of Cleveland. He must have been just before the Spanish war, right?

yes it was right befor that war. he was know as the refrom through is first eletion

INcidentally, it was very cruel of you to taunt me with Crumpets.
You can buy a very fine ENglish Muffin hereabouts, but not a crumpet.
I shall have to find a decent recipe for those, and for my favourite, the pikelet (a sort of flat crumpet, my mouth is watering as I type).

There was a girl in my graduating class that had a really gravelly voice and everybody called her Grover.

I had a close friend many years ago that everyone called "Dougal", after the dog in the Magic Roundabout (because of his hair). I'd actually known him about two years before I discovered his name was actually John.

Never heard of Dougal. There is this guy i work with that is always misspelling things. I call him targetman and he looks at me like WTF am I talking about.

chuckle.
Did you not get the Magic ROundabout in the US?
It was a surreal and marvellous thing, at least in the brit version.
They made the series in France, and the BBC bought it, but didn't bother with a translation - they just had a guy (forget the name, will google tomorrow) make up stories to the pictures. It became a bit of a cult. I was particularly fond of the point at which Dougal was trapped by being surrounded by "No Entry" signs. And my favourite character was Dylan, the guitar-playing rabbit.

BOING! went Zebedee.

Don't think he really did anything memorable but yes just before the Spanish War.

That sounds like it would be cool

So jones, target, auto, strike, did you guys get a blizzard warning within the last few days?

I loved the magic roundabout, i didnt really understand it but does anyone ever really understand it?

Well, as I understand it, the guy was just improvising from what he saw happen - it wasn't expected to make sense.

BOOOOIIIINNNGG! said Zebedee.

Thats what they should do with all cartoons. make a series of animations and have the script writers try and work out what the images were intended to mean.

That could actually end up with there being a lot of profoundly ludicrous cartoons around.

They tried to do it again with Roundabout - using Nigel Planer, but it really didn't work.

Eric Thompson, that was the guy that did it originally. Emma's dad. Or uncle, I forget.

It has been blizzarding for the last couple days and only broke off today. Ever heard of white outs? It is when it is snowing and the wind is blowing hard enough that you can't see 5ft in front of you, all you see is white.
