Japan wants this place back...
Ah, Formerly Formosa, now Taiwan, right?
Medvezhia on the Kurile Isalnds?
oops, that should have been China that wanted Taiwan.

Before someone asks for me:
I'm away to the airport shortly and won't be online (very much) until tomorrow in a week: we'll have guests. :wink:
Taiwan is claimed by China, Miss Letty.
It's Paramushir on the Kurile Islands, Walter.
Your turn.

Well, as aid, I won't be online for eight very much and actually are just now watching some "Live Flight Information" ('GATE CLOSED' it says
).
Someone else, please.
Francis, I realized that error quickly and said so. I was doing too many things at once, I'm afraid. Did you not see that retraction?
Where is wandel? I would like to see him do a place.
We will miss you Walter, but know that you are a wonderful host and will enjoy your guests.
I've seen your retraction after I posted and then it was too late to edit my post, Miss Letty.
No, problem, Francis. I need to think before I write.<smile>
Just for fun, and because there's a special day approaching:
Where was this?
Hi Letty,
Chicago, c.1929?
You clever Irishman. You ain't part of the Irish mafia are you? <smile>
It was the place of The St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
Go ahead, Imur.
Part of the Murfia, perhaps!
Give me a mo to find a pic.
Someone famous once lived here, but who & where?
Well, Imur, it certainly isn't the house where Mrs. Murphy made her chowder.
I think I know that place, but I'm a little too tired to verify it. Is it the home of Oscar Wilde?
Yes it is Letty, 34 Tite St, Chelsea, London.
Wrote many of his best work there. Though not, of course, The Ballad Of Reading Gaol, which was written in, er, Reading Gaol.
Imur, I loved Wilde's poetry and read it when I was a wee thing, but not in jail, of course.<smile>
I have been fascinated by his life and times every since. Have you ever read The Picture of Dorian Grey and "The Selfish Giant"?
Well, honey, the reason that I knew that so quickly is because I did it here once before.
Ok, then. I'll try a place later, Irish.
