I have to say that I never knew that albino penguins existed ........ how are they treated by the rest of their waddle????

(And I didn't make that up - I googled the collective noun for penguins, and this is what it threw up http://www.adelie.pwp.blueyonder.co....ctive_name.htm )

:biglaugh:

I dont blame you for wanting to go back Glassy.......... there aren't too many places in the world that are so completely untouched by tourism as Antarctica

Missy, there are four albino penguins that roost in this area and the other penguins just seem to accept them. Maybe they're just nicer than people!

Thought I'd do a general roll call and see if anyone is around :-)

Yep, I am.
Kiddos, I just had to pack up my bat and ball and bugger off for a while. Too much time stagnating on the interwebs and not moving forward in the journey. Not what it's about on this particular trip, quite dangerous actually.
Glad to see that everyone is humming along OK, I've had a super quick skim back and really, really sad to hear about poor old Olive, Reg. Olive was a star.

Just scrolling up a bit: Glassy your trip looks just amazing. Very cool photos.

Hope your sister is recovered Techie. You are a good son and brother. I know mine would never fly around the country for me.
Have a great trip Rags.
A big hello and a bit of a hug for Mr G.
As a matter of fact might make that a big group hug for youz all, but don't tell Froglette, or she will spew.

Bridge :happy2:

I know what you mean about the interwebby thing. I have severely cut back my on-line time, and as a result my swimming has got faster and I'm getting a bit bendier than I was last year :happy2:

I do love my swimming ...... I love being completely unplugged, getting into a rhythm, feeling strong, concentrating on my breathing. Swum my fastest 1km ever this morning :thumbsup:

Negative People:

A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:

"Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?"

"We're taking BA," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"

"BA?" exclaimed the hairdresser." That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?"

"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste."

"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it’s gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."

"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."

"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant.

Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it..."

A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome

"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of BA's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.

And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a £5 million remodelling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"

"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I bet you didn't get to see the Pope."

"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.

Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me"

"Oh, really! What'd he say?"


He said: "Who the F**k did your hair?"
