I still call Kretzschmaria, ustulina, they owe me many many pints for that I remember asking one of my tutors at Bicton College many moons ago, about why taxonomists keep shifting the goal-posts. Her answer was "well they've got to justify their jobs somehow, haven't they?" 15 hours ago, Mike the Boilerman said: Stuff taxonomy, that's what I say.... Stuff taxidermy. That's what I say.

I recall waiting for service at Barton Turns one cold and sleety March day in the days when they still had the Shakespeare boats there. One of the staff welcoming a party from the US apologised for the wintry conditions. The guy said "Son, we're from Iowa.

Dr Bob Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Mr Smelly has been very quiet today. I guess he must be preparing for his cruise starting Friday. I was going to suggest we all go up to his Marina on Friday to wave him off then have a good party, but it looks like the snow will be far too thick to get there. Shame.
