Tristan da Cunha[^] - this is the place where all the people who give a sh*t live.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."
Holy sh!t, 264 people give a flying monkey plop! [edit] More on Tristan da Cunha: The population is descended from 15 people. Their are 80 families. The population have 8 surnames between them. So. No inbreds there then.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

I was going to comment on just how sad you have to be to go there for your holidays, but then I saw this bit: "A tourist committee has been established, and tourist coordinator appointed. She is Dawn Repetto, who used to work in the Finance Department and helped with immigration duties" Immigration? By heck, she must have been a busy girl! :laugh:

They also have a Leisure Centre[^] (Don't tell Griff)
Henry Minute Do not read medical books! You could die of a misprint. - Mark Twain Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus! When you're wrestling a gorilla, you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is.

No, that would be the Pitcairn Islands. Which is almost exactly half a globe away. See Here[^], glad to see the geography lessons paid off.

You're thinking of the Pitcairn Islands[^], I think - Tristan is the inhabited island furthest from any other inhabited land on the planet.

Oddly enough the mutiny on the bounty wasnt part of the Oxbridge Examining Board Geography Curriculum. :)

Recolection is dim, but the mining production of Canada comes to mind as well as the weather systems in the north atlantic. Mutin on the Bounty was notably absent. :)

Super indeed, and purely useless. As is much of what one absorbs at school. As for Canada, let me guess, somewhere between Swaziland and Switzerland?

Thanks, Michele
