Penguin rescue operation under way after south Atlantic oil spill So I guess now there will be an experiment to determine what makes penguins, and other marine animals, avoid a certain spot in the ocean so the experts can drop a buoy or two and cordon off the area to the animals?! A little prevention would go a long way to stop further contamination! On the West Coast of the US the Navy is being accused of altering the paths of whales with their sonar tests. Maybe drop a few active sonar buoys and see if the penguins, and other animals too, stay away and don't get oiled up, it is NOT suntan oil after all! ID: 69951 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Stay away from the tattoo places!!! Edinburgh is where I got mine in the mid 70's while I was in the Navy! I also saw a play there called Hair where the nude actors and actresses crawled thru the seats, very fun for us Navy guys! ID: 70115 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The only problem I had in Scotland, and I was there for a year, is the heavy accent some people have. But for the most part they speak English and they are pretty easy to understand, here in Las Vegas our waitress at dinner last night was from the US and I didn't understand most of what she was saying!! She had a very thick accent and then ran all her words together too, mostly we just said 'okay'. ID: 70127 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
