from today's newspaper
Monday, June 13th
1: "Isn't is strange that a group of very intelligent individuals combined into a political party become collectively stupid?"
(me: mob rule lives on)
2: "In the UK, breakwaters are installed at right angles to the beach to reduce erosion. Maybe that could work in Adelaide."
(me:, yes please, build breakwaters and groynes. Stop this stupid yearly practice of carting truckloads of sand from one beach to another)
3: "In Porters Lake, a town in the Canadian Province of Nova Scotia there are streets named This Street, That Street and The Other Street."
(me: I love that! Every town should have those)

The street where I live! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteLinda Sue; which one? I thought you were at the other coast.
DeleteI've seen the google map that shows #3.
ReplyDeleteMike; I'll have to look for them myself.
DeleteInteresting about this street, that street, wonder do they have what street..
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; maybe there is one somewhere.
DeleteSmiling at the street names. I wonder whether the breakwater would work? I can't see any reason why not.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; I don't see why they wouldn't work. Port Pirie has one, other countries have them and groynes too which are similar and also stop or reduce the amount of sand that flows naturally with the tides. my city prefers to scoop truckloads of sand from the beach that has the most, then move it to a beach that needs sand, where it straight away begins migrating back to where it came from.
DeleteTo understand about politiciand, and any other committee or such read this: Cipolla's Laws of HUman Stupidity
ReplyDeleteCharlotte; that is an interesting read.
Delete#3!!! At least something funny! I want "My Street" ;-)
ReplyDeleteI even deserve this! A friend from Perth wanted to send me a surprise - addressed it to Ingo but had not his surname, so she simply wrote " To Ingo".
We´re a party of 14 and luckily the postie found the neighbor who knows us so I really got the parcel.
Iris Flavia' I'd like to see His Street and Her street too, as well as My Street. There are streets in the suburbs here that have my name and my kids names. I'm glad you have a postie that knows you so you got your parcel.
DeleteFun! There is a Kaiser-Strasse around the corner here.
DeleteWhen I worked for CGS we often went there - there is a place for also those with little money to eat (not that our boss payed us that bad but we had "tickets" cause we have no canteen and also we supported that place with going there).
I imagine the confusion.
ReplyDeleteNo, not THIS street, THAT street!
Bob; it could get confusing until you know the streets well enough.
DeleteSounds like you could get up a comedy act with the street names. Reminds me of a couple who named their dogs , My dog and Your dog.
ReplyDeleteArkansas Patti; that's a clever way to name the dogs.
DeleteThe street names are wonderful. The next street. The back street.
ReplyDeleteJoanne; how about "One Street Over"
DeleteI love the street names!!! :
ReplyDeleteLee; they are clever.
DeleteYou are so right about mob rule.
ReplyDeleteThose street names, were they channeling Abbot and Costello and Who's On First?
messymimi; I have no idea what they were thinking at the time, you'd have to travel to Nova Scotia and find out.
DeleteI live in Nova Scotia and had to learn about this from an Aussie blog!!!
ReplyDeleteI used to live on Mars..
