Are you telling me that North Underumbriashire is not part of the UK?

I, Like The View said...

I think that one's just between you and I shot

well, it was. . . not anymore!

(-:

(of course, it might be part of GB, but I'm still very confused about the whole thing)

Argyllshire--home of the argyle socks! And the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders!!

(apparently a famous Scotish regiment......can ya tell he's all about military 'stuff'?!)

Mel said...

He's having more fun correcting my pronunciation than I can stand!

;-)

86!!

(btw--he DID get the 50 states.....just took him the greater part of the day...and my taunting, of course!) *snickering*

I, Like The View said...

hey - I found that list here and it was very interesting. . .

the Coldstream Guards, for example, must come from Berwickshire

(-:

I, Like The View said...

oh! we're criss crossing again. . .

he got all 50? that's impressive!

I wonder if he could label a map tho. . . of the US or the UK. . .

even with the labels!!!

<----- snickering

I, Like The View said...

(I know I couldn't - can't even do it with the information in front of me, as proven here this evening)

Rimshot said...

I can name all 50 States alphabetically in under 30 seconds.

I, Like The View said...
