^ so does Billy Ray Cyrus

But he's a male American entertainer: if he doesn't wear a wig, he will sport transplants, you can take that for granted without pics.

...Billy Ray Cyrus has a big fat ugly flat face pie head.

He has a concave face like that Keera Kneightley person.

I, of course, am perfect

They have changed and widened the sidewalks up to the entry to the stadium, somewhat fancifying and smartifying it all, including the churros booth, which is now on the other side, giving its back to the road.

..widened ..

So does that have an affect on your existence? Is your apartment nearby? Do you eat at that the churros booth?

No, I just visit the library opposite sometime... and a bookshop a few streets down. That's it. I simply saw it done after a few weeks absence from the area... either that, or I don't remember the works being done there a couple of weeks ago.

In Spain you don't have apartments, you have flats

…flats...

In my country 'flats' are rented and 'apartments' and 'home units' are owned.

One of my ex-husbands —who was English— tells me my countrymen are obsessed with homeownership. He says rented accommodation is just a fact of life in England.

 

[frankfrank]

And in the U. S., sometimes, some people will say a "flat" if they are renting one entire level (floor) of a building.

At least that was said where I came from.

Here it's rather the other way round: you own a flat, and you rent an apartment for the summer holidays.

I am reading an old collection of memoirs. He says there's a tradition that the English travelled through the Suez Canal and purchased their solar topees in Port Said. On their return —six months or six years later— they would throw their topees over the side of the ship into the Ismail Basin for the bum-boat Arabs to retrieve.

What don't you get?

I looked at the canal on Google Maps and couldn't see any Ismail Basin.

And then I thought that this author was respected 50 years ago but now we can use the internet and tell that he's making up stories. And then I realised the world was full of half-truths and ignorance in the bad old days.

Facts that must be corroborated. Feh.

I looked at the canal on Google Maps and couldn't see any Ismail Basin.

But there *is* a city called Ismailia there, in the middle of the canal section, so it stands to reason that the 'Ismaili Basin' is probably the nearby Timsah Lake, which also forms a part of the canal route.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Timsah

The very first line of the article says the lake lies in a basin. And the city of Ismailia is on its northern bank.

I think the mystery is therefore solved.

You should know not to present me with a geography puzzle.

Yeah. Thank God for Rupert Murdoch.

He's a successful capitalist because he gives people what they want. But now we have the internet we can check a few sources and don't have to hate on him.
