Volcano ash.

Perhaps a Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares?

 

No idea.

The texts sent to the pub started out:

Fantastic place. Diving unbelievable etc.

Then:

There a rumour spreading that the flights home could be effected by some
volcano in Iceland.

The last one was about living in a hut. That arrived on Saturday.

 

Nope, their ship has not run aground on a sandbank or beach.

 

What's that got to do with anything?

 

I never claimed to be a UST. And I've never really been a fan of TD,
although ISTR seeing them a couple of times at least.

 

Original meaning of "stranded" YTC.

 

I think he's convinced that 'stranded' only has one dictionary
definition, which is to run aground . A strand being a shore or beach
(cf. The Strand, which was the riverbank in London until the Victoria
Embankment was built)

Whereas every dictionary I've checked also gives something like "to
leave in a strange or an unfavorable place especially without funds or
means to depart" or "prevented from leaving a place, for example because
of bad weather" as an alternative definition.

But hey, lets party like it's 1699!

 

Sure, but those are the new *evolved* meanings, see? )

 

Which is completely irrelevant YTC.

 

Ah, yes - I remember that song by Prince (of Orange)

 

<fxrders copy of Seppuku for Dummies>

 

Ah, the artist formerly known as William Oldham.

 

How much did he charge to 'oldam?

 

hang on a second...

 

# it was old but it was beautiful
# the raspberry beret my father wore


no. not quite.

 

Not if he gets it right first time.

 

"Respond with fire" is that like some kind of armed response ambulance?

 

it's all about etiquette, but of course, you're northern; I expect
"kaishakunin" is the noise you lot make when you sneeze.
