stefada, we like to be showed around as 'if friends were visiting'. I feel that's what we are. Friends.
I'm impressed with your knowledge. I think that's what comes when you love where you live - you love Bretagne, too ... and Louloup and your new computer - ah, so much love in one man Eric_Kaiser, I asked you earlier - but I think you didn't notice I don't blame you - I talk too much for anybody to cope well, here it is. Are you satisfied? Shout it to others, please Are you dissatisfied? Whisper it to me, please - we want you to return for another trek if possible. Good Morning Base Campers! Our crew crunching with Kraland today has been reduced as earlier announced by BladeD  going to the Raccoons  and I just noticed that NAP2614 went home – all the way to Boise Idaho – thank you both for contributing to the success of this trek  Still crunching are: Acpartsman davewhite5xq7 Eric_Kaiser Fossaw little mermaid spiritofDJ tanner2 Urden yodap@BC The safe margin I hoped for yesterday is there. I think we have a very, very good chance at ending this trek and the Kraland IX Challenge with Kraland as the winner. The cheese I ordered inspired by stefada arrived. I KLiKed the track-and-trace feature e-mail and - vupti! - there was a scan of the packet on my doormat. It was there in real life too. So we have four pieces of Papillon Roquefort, Svenbo – the emmental type – and the low fats 6% - a well matured one and a very well matured one, and I have my baker’s black bread – it goes very well with the Roquefort I promised a cheese party, so here you go:  not to forget the radishes – the veggie in Denmark’s - and Austria’s and Poland’s and Indonesia’s and Japan’s and Tunesia’s … we think we have a monopoly national colors  the baguettes the crackers  and the port sujo1, adriverhoef, Tkizzle, and Johnny Cool, you are invited, too |

Red and White are the colours of an English flag also. People tend to assume the red white and blue "union jack" flag is England, but that is not the case, it is a design from merging the various flags of the countries which form the united kingdom. There is some discussion about it in fact as the Welsh flag does not appear, but Wales and England were under the same rule before it was first made, it is half proposed that it is changed to have a small red dragon in a circle added to the middle of the design.

The first time I saw the English flag must have been at a football match transmission on Danish TV
- we used to be allowed to watch one every Saturday afternoon during the winter break of the Danish league and I thought that it was funny that it was 'the opposite of the Danish flag'. Until then I had always believed it was Union Jack. Even now - when I read you post - I had to turn that visually around in my head.  |

No, the Danish flag is not symetrical, the vertical bar is not central, the English flag is, otherwise the union flag would be weird.

 yes, sorry, I was inaccurate, FossawI tend to believe the Scandinavian model is the template for all of the flags with a cross in them, but it isn't And the Swiss one is surprisingly square .... |

Good Morning Base Campers!
When I checked I saw no changes of our crew crunching with Kraland so we are still: Acpartsman davewhite5xq7 Eric_Kaiser Fossaw little mermaid spiritofDJ tanner2 Urden yodap@BC If you haven’t seen it, here is the picture of acpartsman releasing his safekept WUs and how the production stabilized at a higher level: If you lack material of importance to convey, weather seems to be a good filler most of the time. In Denmark May is shaping up to break a 134 year-old average high temperature record. The summer of 2017 was so lousy and the winter so depressing, gray and drawn-out with Siberian cold into April  But now … everybody is smiling we really appreciate this  I have made a habit out of smiling to the strangers I meet when I walk. Usually at least 50% smile back - either because they want to be kind in return - or because they think  These days my score is close to 85%  We shall probably return to the #1 spot on the World Happiness Index if this continues. Take a look at the development of the temperatures of our coastal waters …  The beaches are crowded already. For today, however we have a warning of scattered thunderstorms with heavy downpour popping up unpredictably ways.  |

Thank you very much for your contribution acpartsman
sujo1 will be a happier man now you're coming home  - I on the other hand really hope that your bomb will keep Kraland in front of their Kraland IX Challenge for the duration  - that is two more days  |
