LOL - started drinking early today on account of the long weekend?

No, I just thought the mild banter between joke and rant icon was funny. I should be drinking though, now that you mention it, but alas, I do not drink anymore these days.

If for no other reason, any country that dresses their soldiers in bright red for their battle uniforms is definitely worth keeping an arms-length (and ocean width) away.
And the economic policies may have played a part in that Brexit, too.

Interesting angle on it.
The US war of independence was the English Civil War part II IMO.
At least if you view it in its idealised form. If you view it somewhat more realistically is just a land grab.

You know, some really good fiction is written about how things would have turned out if James II was forced to flee to the American Colonies in 1688 instead of France; re-establishing of the Throne of England in the New World.

Nish, my grandmother emigrated from Scotland as a child to Canada, I emigrated from Canada to the USA as an adult.
I tell the kids I work with (grade 1 to grade 6): if you live in this country, respect the American flag. Even if I'm not a citizen, this country is where I call home.

Excellent attitude. Respect.

Does leaving your goldfish bowl in the sun for too long cause global warming?

Something fishy about your hypothesis. Perhaps scale it back a bit so it's more in tuna with current trends?

In the Israeli summer, it would result in poached goldfish!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Your a day, early, lad.
However, since you've just volunteered, I will entrust the care of CP into your capable (if unwashed) hands. Also, don't forget to maintain the "If W∴Balboos was here he'd post this . . ." series.

Quote: And Today Starts Out Well ! 4hrs 58mins ago
To begin with, for the first time ever, I made it to the bottom of the Last 24hrs "Top Experts List" - barely behind OG, himself (the barely part probably won't last).
But it doesn't end, there. By ca. 16:00 GMT (which is still mid-morning where I'm going) I'll be enjoying Island beverages on a tropical Isle without a care in the world (and open bars) until next Sunday* Indeed - I won't carry money for the duration. Even tipping is forbidden - currency is a smile.
You didn't specify a day, so I assumed today ...

 Wouldn't a goldfish bowl be a hyper-circle?

Well, I'm confident you'd not survive trying to even get close enough to put your goldfish bowl in the sun; you, the goldfish, bowl, it's water, and yer spaceship would be global burnt toast.

It would help if I spelled my domain name correctly in the username. 
That wasted two hours of my life.

I am home. But I think it's time to go replace some rotten wood on the shed now. I have replacement wood, wood screws, a good saw, paint...what could go wrong?
