So are there any decent pubs in Wales? If so, can you point me in their direction. I only found really duff ones in my previous visits to the Principality.

Actually, I didn't have anything down for the other half of "Flash", I just didn't want "Finger" and "Gold" next to each other in the list. Your go.

Bagpuss, I didn't say born. I said origin (I was being a bit naughty chucking Kylie into the list). BTW why the ? after Bonnie (Bonny)?

Indeed, the original seven astronauts.
Those were the days! I still remember the exitement when by accident I heard the takeoff
of Scott Carpenter on the radio.
And try a question that does not lure me into an immediate answer.

Off the top of my head, can anyone tell me what an eole is, what it does and where you would find it?

Marjin, After a long time of procrastination back lurking Posted Mar 20, 2002
Yes I can, but I will not turn in the air to tell you.

Madent Posted Mar 20, 2002
Not sure about "an" eole, but "the" Eole was a steam powered aeroplane of the late 19th Century.
NOW it's Aljis turn!

eole? what a strange word.... i like it! 
omy 
NOW it's Aljis turn!
Madent Posted Mar 22, 2002
Well from Marjin's veiled comments one can only assume that an eole is an aerobatic stunt associated with a sport.
Hang-gliding, skating, snowboarding, sky-diving, flying ??????
