The full name of Los Angeles is

El Pueblo Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula.

Which means The town of Our Lady the queen of the Angels of the river Porciuncula

Hi Judy

Yes it is a pretty name, but quite long to say, so LA works for me.

Margaret ... I notice you've dropped peace for caffine, a good move.

 

[marval]

Hi CT

Yes I fancied a change. Thought the caffeine would help keep me awake. HaHa


Margaret

 

[Contratrombone64]

I particularly like the heartfelt message in your cup, nice.

 

[marval]

Glad you like it.
The coffee is mine, but my friends here can share the heart.

[marval]

Hi Muza

You are welcome

The fingerprints of Koala bears are virtually indistinguishable from those of humans, so much so that they could be confused at a crime scene.

*mental note* If something goes wrong, blame the koala... :grin:

 

[marval]

Bother, it was my paw prints that gave me away wasn't it.


Margaret

 

[methodistgirl]

That was so funny!:grin:

Koalas are not bears, that was the silly British invaders that gave them that moniker. We never say Koala bear anymore here. I think they're classed as macropods, but I'll have to check that.

[marval]

Sorry CT, you are right koalas are not bears. My mistake for copying it exactly.


Margaret

 

[Contratrombone64]

What I do know about them is that they look cute ... in reality they are visicous, nasty things that will bite, scratch and pee on you without provocation, then smile sweetly as if to say "pardon?"

 

[Muza]

really, they do that? Thats just like my bunny...except the biting for no apparent reason. isnt that precious

P.S. Are those your editorial habbits? You are one of the very few of which I know that always double checks facts to make sure everything's right :grin:

A giraffe can clean it's ears with it's 21 inch tongue.

Dear CT64,

I have never heard of the term *visicous* - Now, you probably meant *vicious* - yes, I know that Koalas can be vicious - I could never understand why kids find them *adorable*.

Cheers,

I will tell you why kids find the koalas so adorable. They even look to
me like teddy bears up in the trees.
