A nice afternoon for it in Glacier Bay. Makes a change from Hong Kong

Have you switched your lights on Ian...? Those Whales seem to be sitting up...?

'Native Canadian ethnic chic' is the expression you're looking for, Dave ... I think

Vickers missed a market by not building a VC10 amphibian, so I have to use what I can find! I'm not used to these propellor thingys. There are coloured levers and when you pull them you crash. I mean what's the point of that?

You don't watch David Attenborough, do you, Tony? It's moths that are attracted to light, not whales! And they're not 'sitting up', they're breaching (it means 'coming out of the water to get some air and have a look round'). I've spared you a sequence or a video of their performance so think yourself lucky you only got a single screenshot!

Do you have the wheels extracted? Why?

I think they have the Hump!

I think he landed orca-wardly and on porpoise just for fin. In fact they are feeling blue. And the one at the back looks so unhappy it gave a big sei.

I can see there's no reverence for the majestic giants of the ocean around here

Dan 'extracted' is what you have done to a rotten tooth I think you mean 'extended' as the opposite of 'retracted'. (And yes, I know that I don't even know one word of Danish so how dare I criticise?! Well - you started it! ) Anyway - if the wheels were extended, they would be lower than the floats - otherwise they'd be useless :roll: The thingys at the back are water rudders (I think )

And Simon - what are you blubbering on about, man? Have you been reading Moby Dick? (Am I allowed to say Moby Dick here? )

Oh well, off we go in search of another exciting adventure. I've heard there are moose (mooses, meece?) in the woods. Just giving Simon warning so that he can look up moosey words in his thesaurus!

I just had the whale of a time replying. Although I had to think about it as it was a bit of a grey area. I didn't want to blow it. However I think I put the seal on bad humour!

:o :o :o

I'm not sure if even Garry could top that!
