I'm about to fall asleep, so rather than set a question, I'll hand over to the first person to post a new question, and if none is posted I'll think of one in the morning!

It was just a simple Chianti (not Classico) of a producer I didn't know. But as it was offered in the box were wines are sold off that are taken out of the shelf it didn't matter. It was reduced to just
3 Euros. So I thought I could make nothing wrong with that.

Derek, do you have a question? Otherwise I would have one that is connected to flags.

OK. Here is my question:
There are two countries in the world that have a similar flag. So when the flag of country A is bleached out by the sun, it is turned into the flag of country B.
Name the two countries.
I'm off to bed now, so will not post replies before lunch today.

We did pass the B&F on the way to this landmark. The landmark is less than one mile from the B&F I would guess.

  • “When I was a younger man, I was passionate about civil rights, education, the anti-war movement. I was the mayor of Cincinnati, and that’s the third-largest city in Ohio. Then one day I went to a prostitute, and I paid her with a government check. The next day it was all over.

    There’s only two things you have to know about politics. One, you’ll never get anywhere unless you have the courage to speak out for what you know is the truth. And two, some things should always be paid for in cash.”
