Fair Isle A3197207
This little island in the far north of the Irish Sea is a separate country, with its own unique type of government, as well as its own type of cat. The Isle of Man is about 30 miles long and is only 17 miles from the southern tip of Scotland.
Written by Gnomon, but most of the mistakes are probably down to my contributions

Posted Nov 10, 2004
Front page today 4th November:
Contains No Artificial Additives...
Ever wondered how the European Union came up with its system of 'E' numbers to classify food colourings, flavourings and preservatives? E-numbers: the Classification of Food Additives A3103822 explains what's permitted and what's not.
Have to write some more entries now - no more in the pipeline. I'm thinking of updating the entry on poached eggs...

Es are Good
"Among the many mysteries of modern life, the writing on food packaging must be one of the most baffling. What does all it all mean? Well, we can't answer everything, but we can at least explain what The 'e' mark stands for..." A3022615

A virtual picture of a virtual trophy
Posted Oct 7, 2004
Received today the picture of my Word Play trophy, which can now be seen proudly adorning the end of my personal space, and at A1049753 - either mine is the only one in its own (wonky) trophy cabinet 
, or I've only got a picture of a trophy

(it is clear to me anyway ) My cloud entry has appeared before the entry that inspired it (Cloud Types and their significance A1144261) - life isn't fair sometimes
