+Simply Paul Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Thinking about it, I so want to put a cache on Sealand, it would rule. You would have to get onto it first. I don't see any bushes or rocks to hide the cache under though? I bet everyone thought the Vatican was the smallest country in the world. As featured on Danny Wallace's 'How to start your own Country' series on the BBC. Perfect place for a magnetic micro in the guise of a rusty bolt, I'd say. SP Quote
+Learned Gerbil Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 We can always have a Vexillology thread pinned to the top of the forum for people who need to discuss flags so they can leave room for all the congrats. What do you think? Quote
+The Bongtwashes Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Of course, nobody mentions the The Flag of St Piran , the flag of The Independent Peoples Republic of Kernow! Quote
+Renegade Knight Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 After reading this I'm glad I lump everthing under "UK" and call the regions by name. I loved the comment about how some people feel Scottish, English etc, but not UKish. That summed it up. It also explains why so many Americans are bad at geography. They couldn't figure it out there, so they came over here. Quote
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 The Flag of St Piran - Simple - works either way up correctly.... Great bit of design... So good the Devonians have nicked it and added extra green bits and claimed it as their own.... Quote
+The Blorenges Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 ....(Later, much later...) Is this thread still flapping in the wind? You folks who are really good at the computer graphics thingies...Why don't you go and start a thread on a good original design for a Geocaching flag? ...I would try, but I think I'm going to bed Mrs B Quote
+Learned Gerbil Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Of course, nobody mentions the The Flag of St Piran , the flag of The Independent Peoples Republic of Kernow! What do you mean nobody mentions it? As faras I can see about 25% of cars in South London display it - those are the ones without Polish number plates and Jamaican flags. Quote
markandlynn Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 More info on sealand here it seems to be OK because no one has bothered to prosecute them yet. Quote

+Satellite Kid Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 As a Welsh man I'd like to add that according to my British passport I am a resident of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland! Also...that although Wales is a Principality it still is in fact a country also!! :-) Only posted this to see if my new profile worked. Cheers. Ps we're all just citizens of the world! Quote
Deego Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) Ps we're all just citizens of the world! Dead right. I luv ya all :D (just some more that others ) Edited November 11, 2005 by Deego Quote
+Satellite Kid Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 I say the same thing about women... All women are beautiful....but some are more beautiful than others. I think this is a bastardisation of a quote from a certain pig called Napolean who bastardised it from a quote by a certain Marx brother?!? But I prefer mine! Quote
+lordelph Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 All women are beautiful....but some are more beautiful than others. Well, someone told me that beauty was only skin deep, but ugly goes right to the bone. Quote
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 Wasn't it... Beauty is only skin deep, but who wants a pretty pancreas? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 I knew a woman with acute angina... I'll get me coat SP Quote

+Eckington Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 .....having the need to, quite often, re-review new caches ..... COMU co-ords all mucked up Quote

nobby.nobbs Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 but surely we should all be calling ourselves europeans now? cold day in hell before i do!! happy resident of the ancient kingdom of wessex. but then in my mind i'm on a different planet so what does it matter!! Quote
+Roving Rangies Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Hang on a minute! One thing everyone has forgotten up till now is: Language! Yes! Just think how many languages the UK uses! (I mean national ones, not the imported type!) Perhaps we should be using the reginal names like, Gaelic, Manx, Cornish etc! Quote
+Simply Paul Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Cockney Rhyming Slang? Ulster Scots? Received Pronunciation? Estuary English? Butcher's Back Slang? SP Quote
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Now you say Cornish - which version of Cornish are we talking about - I think at the last count theres 3. I'm really no expert, but yep I'm friendly with a Bard.. not The Bard - A Bard.... And I think you forgot Welsh. Quote
+The Blorenges Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Now you say Cornish - which version of Cornish are we talking about - I think at the last count theres 3. I'm really no expert, but yep I'm friendly with a Bard.. not The Bard - A Bard.... And I think you forgot Welsh. Cornish and Welsh are very closely related (so I'm told by a Welsh speaker). I don't speak either....but my Dad was a Bard. Mrs B Quote
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 II understand it's Cornish, Welsh and Breton that are closely related... and Manx, Gaelic and Irish are closely related to each other... Closlely enough that COrnish and Welsh speakers can converse quite happily... Quote
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Can I do a cache with instructions in Kerenewek? I wonder.... Quote
+Learned Gerbil Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) Can I do a cache with instructions in Kerenewek? I wonder.... A bit like this one in Surrey? GC2613 BTW, there isa good article on Cornish Here Edited November 13, 2005 by Learned Gerbil Quote
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Oh cool... I recognise that Memorial... I wonder if theres any more on the route of the march... I know of one in Bodmin... Ohhhh feel a new series coming on.... Quote
+Learned Gerbil Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) I like to think I am well informed about local history, but Surrey's Cornish connections were a big surprise. Even without the memorial the location is well worth a visit with fantastic views. Edited November 13, 2005 by Learned Gerbil Quote
Leoness Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Now why did THIS SONG come to mind, I wonder?!!! Quote
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 and.. Mud, Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud - must be the ultimate cachers song! Gosh they were good.... The Gasman Cometh.. My Dad played em all... Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Now why did THIS SONG come to mind, I wonder?!!! Probably the same reason as this SONG sprung to mind with me? At least my one is factual Quote
+The Blorenges Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 If we're going musical, will all with Cornish connections please sing along with this rousing Cornish song! - scroll down the page a bit.... Mrs B Quote
