dyl, so I could try and convert him to union instead of that barbaric league he likes to watch. Obviously over a case of beers and maybe some brandy...?
Oh and Dr. Brain. We live in the same friggin town but everytime we schedule to meet for a beer, he has to go and do work, family etc. How about it Johan?
And as I can't drink all the brandy myself (though I'll give it my best effort), and the Brain is in the same town I guess that makes a crowd.
And Werner, for free beer I'll let myself be converted to almost anything.
(I know you're South African, so please note the almost to avoid embarrassment later.)

He's not from Wisconsin , but lives there now . Hey Plab , why do they call it Rhode Island if it's not an island ?
The name stuck?
That is from memory, not sure how to find this info online.

hmmm... I think I'd like to meet SirLoseALot, he seems a really nice guy (yes, and he lives in a country next to mine... I think). But, if I consider the effort... I'd probably pick Edi74, as he is a really nice guy (and my French teacher, so I see him 3 times a week)
But hey, if anyone of you should ever make it to Heidelberg (thats an hour away from Frankfurt), pm me, I love blind dates

Well, I don't eat a whole lot of cheese but hey, I do live in Wisconsin so it's only right to wonder who gave this stupid and pointless state one of it's titles of cheese state (maybe but either way it's annoying). Anyhow, if I could meet the guy who invented cheese I'd meet him the day he did it so I could steal his secrets and make millions. I'd also have unlimited cheese to give to people for B-day and christmas presents. No more shopping 😀!

Originally posted by PhlabibitFor Rhode Island in Narragansett Bay, which Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazano, while navigating Narragansett Bay in 1524 in the service of France, is said to have named for its likeness to the Mediterranean isle of Rhodes off the coast of Turkey. It is the largest of several islands in the bay and was called "Aquidneck" by the Indians. In 1614 Dutch explorer Adriaen Block named an island in the bay Roodt Eylandt "Red Island" because of the red clay along the shore. Early English settlers used the name Aquidneck, but in 1644 the name was officially established by royal charter as Rhode Island. Since the settlements on the mainland along Narragansett Bay were known as the Providence Planatations, the full, official name of the state became "Rhode Island and Providence Planatations."
