10:18 am

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!
10:26 am
Atalante
if you don't mind a small ihke, going up Arthur's Seat gives you incredible views
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

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
did you see my chats yesterday about how i was rear-ended on tuesday, ata?
12:15 pm
Atalante
NO!! are you ok?
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
12:27 pm
hurshy
phantom: employ
12:35 pm
hurshy
phantom: merlot
12:37 pm

12:42 pm
cybernan
hi again
12:42 pm
hurshy
oh! my cat! ha
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
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
hurshy
they didn't count that one, i think they just forgot it
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
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
