Do I get a pedant point for this?

 

How can Wales AND Bhutan be unique?

I was going to post a self roast on that one, being a bit of a grumpy old pedant too, but thought I'd just leave it. Any ideas on their duniqueness oh picky nicky? :laughing:

Well I don't know about Bhutan but the only thing else I can think of that makes Wales unique in GB (not too sure about Europe) is that it's a Principality :rolleyes: as opposed to a Monarchy which is ruled by a King or Queen. So I suppose we should rely sing "God Save The Prince" here in Wales :anicute:

I am a painter who has had my style of painting sang about in a chart hit, what I want to know is the name of the group or organisation who own the largest No of my paintings, and were do they keep them? And if your rely clever how many do they own?

She was one of a pair who were "unlike us" because they "cupid's darts did not feel".

 

Who was she and what was her relationship to this week's Oxbridge revelation?

St Hilda's College is going coed next term (hopefully Oxbridge have not yet gone semester-ical). St Hilda herself was a celtic Saint who hung out in East Anglia at one point - there normal story is they were daughter/son of a great Lord but forsook worldly wealth on encountering St Aiden/St Botolph/St Cuthbert, St Hilda being one of a pair suggests that her (?older) sister also took the viel (although of course Celtic Christian monastries didn't follow that pattern and tended to be preaching resource centres with paired male & female communities) :P

I always thought Zeus was the father of the gods and thus the top of the family tree. But I just googled and I was wrong. Ah well, you live and learn and it does mean this OT thread is educational at least :)

Siggy first came across the south american fairy dust when it was used as an anaesthetic for eye ops. He then went on to prescribe it for all manner of ailments, including morphine addiction, depression etc.
