Dorens

good morning

10:18 am

Atalante

hi Dorens!

10:19 am

Dorens

Ata I found a program on Netflix called Dept. Q. Very dark, which doesn't bother me, but it's set in 'Edinburgh which thrilled me

10:20 am

Atalante

oooo I want to watch that!

10:20 am

clg47

Dept Q is excellant

10:20 am

Dorens

I'm really enjoying it

10:20 am

saanichcat

good morning Dorens, me too on the Dept Q!

10:21 am

Dorens

great, saani- I was going to tell you about it. So much fun seeing Edinburgh!

10:21 am

Dorens

This morning I checked Torino weather for next week. 50's, which is just fine with me.

10:22 am

saanichcat

perfect weather

10:24 am

phaeton

Dorens...going to Edinburgh in October. Anything special I should see while there?

10:25 am

Atalante

the camera obscura, the castle, royal mile, holyrood, but really just walk and walk and look!

10:25 am

Dorens

OOh. Saani and I started with hop on hop off bus cause we had very little time there. So much I'd have liked to see, but we got a great orientation that way and it was a sunny day and we sat up top and it was great fun.

10:25 am

cybernan

pack a warm waterproof coat

10:25 am

Dorens

Ata is the expert

10:25 am

Atalante

or ride and ride and look!

10:25 am

phaeton

thanks

10:26 am

Atalante

if you don't mind a small ihke, going up Arthur's Seat gives you incredible views

10:26 am

Atalante

*hike

10:26 am

phaeton

depends on "small hike" :)

10:26 am

saanichcat

Dorens and I did that walk. Fabulous

10:27 am

Dorens

We did climb up ( very very slowly, both had lung issues) Carlton" Hill and it was incredible

10:27 am

saanichcat

Well, part of the walk!

10:27 am

Atalante

very slowly still gets you there

10:28 am

Dorens

It did. And spectacular. One of the best things about our trip

10:28 am

phaeton

slow walking is what I do...lol

10:28 am

cybernan

do holyrood if it is open

10:29 am

Atalante

I guess the fun hidden bits would be Dean Village and the water of Leith / going to POrtobello and the beach (ona nice day!). There are trips out into the Firth of Forth and landing on some of the bigger islands like Inchcolm (old monastery) and getting views of the bridges

10:30 am

Atalante

the whisky experience is great too

10:31 am

saanichcat

we wanted to, but had no time left for the secret places

10:32 am

cybernan

walk the royal mile too

10:32 am

Dorens

we did end up on Victoria St (inspiration for Dragon Alley from Harry Potter) for dinner and that was a fun bit

10:33 am

Atalante

and when it rains, go to the royal scottish museum, its absolutely amazing

10:34 am

Dorens

yes, that's what my granddaughter said and I was so sad that we didn't have time to

10:34 am

cybernan

lol lol -- Scotland is the only place you would say when it rains rather than if it rains :)

10:38 am

phaeton

clue for the te7/36?

10:42 am

saanichcat

a store where you get Earl Grey, etc

10:42 am

cybernan

a place where you go for sandwiches, cake and a specific beverage

10:43 am

hurshy

greetings babblers

12:11 pm

Atalante

hi hurshy

12:12 pm

hurshy

why did i think reroot counted

12:14 pm

Atalante

because you're rooting for it to

12:14 pm

hurshy

lol

12:14 pm

hurshy

did you see my chats yesterday about how i was rear-ended on tuesday, ata?

12:15 pm

Atalante

NO!! are you ok?

12:15 pm

hurshy

yes

12:17 pm

hurshy

it's just a hassle and a financial difficulty, that's mainly it

12:21 pm

Atalante

well thank goodness for that, though I can imagine the hassles

12:22 pm

hurshy

yeah

12:27 pm

hurshy

phantom: employ

12:42 pm

12:42 pm

hurshy

oh! my cat! ha

12:42 pm

hurshy

hi nan

12:43 pm

Atalante

yep!! hi cnan!

12:44 pm

cybernan

don't know if I will finish this one -- finding it tough and it is a lovely day, so wanting to get out and do some gardening.

12:46 pm

hurshy

i saw this vid the other day where two people were asked to name 9 countries ending in "-land"

12:46 pm

hurshy

and they didn't think of "England" and "Scotland" and i was like, well, to be fair, those are both part of the UK

12:47 pm

Atalante

Northern Ireland?

12:47 pm

hurshy

and some dope replies to me and says "so is Ireland and that was one of them. it's like how North America has both Canada and the US"

12:47 pm

cybernan

and greenland is part of denmark

12:47 pm

ch1212

Those two and Finland are the only ones that come to mind, but I'm terrible with geography. Oh, Ireland!

12:47 pm

hurshy

so then i had to explain how only northern ireland is part of the UK, and also how North America is a continent and not a political designation

12:47 pm

Atalante

Swaziland

12:47 pm

Atalante

Thailand

12:48 pm

hurshy

no, swaziland changed its name to Eswatini

12:48 pm

ch1212

Good ones, Ata.

12:48 pm

Atalante

you didn't specific current ones!

12:48 pm

ch1212

See? I had no clue Swaziland changed their name - lolol!

12:48 pm

cybernan

Did the dopes name begin with a T?

12:48 pm

ch1212

OH! Switzerland!

12:48 pm

hurshy

no, it was a random person on facebook

12:49 pm

Atalante

does Netherlands count?

12:49 pm

TQ

Holland

12:49 pm

Atalante

Falkland ISlands?!

12:49 pm

ch1212

Ata's on a roll!

12:51 pm

hurshy

they didn't count lands bc it has an S

12:51 pm

periwinkle

hi Ata and hurshy. Hello all

12:51 pm

hurshy

nor holland bc that's not it's real name

12:51 pm

Atalante

Iceland

12:51 pm

hurshy

they did count greenland even tho it is part of denmark, which makes sense if they were counting england and scotland

12:52 pm

hurshy

i think you guys collectively have said all but one

12:52 pm

hurshy

but my point was how the dope didn't know ireland is a separate country and also that north america is not the same sort of thing at all

12:54 pm

hurshy

i should have known people would jump to the activity though lol

12:54 pm

Atalante

Finalnd!

12:54 pm

hurshy

yeah ch1212 said that

12:55 pm

Atalante

NZ?

12:55 pm

hurshy

they didn't count that one, i think they just forgot it

12:56 pm

Atalante

:D

12:56 pm

hurshy

or they were counting the Maori name as the real name, but what hope can i feel that they would be so enlightened?

12:56 pm

cybernan

nor that Canada and the USA are not the same country and never will be!

12:56 pm

hurshy

so yeah there is one more still

12:57 pm

ch1212

tell us what the last one is that they counted. Now that I know they 'forgot' at least one...

12:57 pm

MollyL

What the hell is Puntland?

12:57 pm

hurshy

think Auschwitz

12:57 pm

bookgrrl

Poland

12:57 pm

ch1212

OH, Poland, of course!

12:57 pm

Atalante

one could argue Somalialand if you don't need the countries to be recognised by the UN

12:57 pm

Atalante

*Somaliland

12:58 pm

ch1212

Interesting that so many 'land' countries are in Europe, given the diverse languages.

12:58 pm

Atalante

also Seeland thinking about it

12:58 pm

hurshy

is somaliland part of somalia that isn't recognized? i figured it was just an older name for it

12:58 pm

Dookie

Disneyland. It's a magical kingdom.

12:59 pm

hurshy

well of course, this is only thinking about the ENGLISH names for them.

12:59 pm

ch1212

Unless those country names are simply translated into English words... like so.

12:59 pm

ch1212

likely so. Exactly, hursh.

12:59 pm

hurshy

Poland probably doesn't call itself Poland, isn't it like, Polska or something?

12:59 pm

Atalante

its a self declared country near somalia. as is puntland

12:59 pm

hurshy

and if you took Germany in German, it would be on the list cause that's Deutschland

1:00 pm

hurshy

but yeah they were only counting recognized ones i guess atalante

1:00 pm

ch1212

Perhaps the better question the poll could have used was, "Name nine countries that include 'land' in their English iterations?

1:01 pm

hurshy

yes, it would be better that way

1:06 pm

ch1212

I need to get some writing done. bbl.

1:07 pm

Atalante

ugh I hate writing cvs

1:07 pm

hurshy

is that part of a grant or are you applying for a new job??

1:08 pm

Atalante
