not chester. the answer is entirely logical; two (current English) words juxtaposed to make the town name.

Thank you UP.

Poker question: Which poker hand (2 cards) is known as the German virgin?

Clue: you could probably work it out...

Seeing as the only poker card that sounds German is 9 (nein), i presume it would be pocket 9s? Nein, Nein means no, no......so i'm guessing that must be it?

Since that buffoon MattB likes nothing better than answering a question and then dinghying asking a new one, I'll set one meself.

Where is the world's shortest passenger air route?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 10:11 am

cripes it could be anywhere. i'll guess mexico-usa because of all the red tape round that part of the world

Nope. It's not there.

I'll give you a clue though, it's between 2 islands, otherwise you could do the journey on foot!

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 10:24 am

hmm, a poser. so i deduce that the two islands are sometimes joined by land and sometimes by sea.

north and south uist?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 10:26 am

Right country! Wrong Island group.

And the 2 islands are always islands.

i'm afraid this is where my Scottish geography falls down. i only know the shipping forecast.
how about stornaway and mull.

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 10:31 am

Ah right. Head north-east then, I'll accept the name of the group of islands, since I'm sure they appear on the shipping forecast.
