Re: Tales of Home
{{ Goes back I think to the Victorian zoo fad for Chimps teaparties, you know dress a bunch of chimpanzee's up in top hat and tails, complete with cigars and set them a big table of messy food, combined with their big cheeky toothy grin and you have the phrase. Utterly unrelated to race or skin colour or comparisons with humans, beyond dressing them like posh Victorian white humans for entertainment purposes that is.
Mind you in Scotland we tend to skip the replacement word all together, for a work colleague you'd just call them a 'cheeky bastard' but if it was a close friend a 'cheeky c*nt'. But it's just our way of being friendly
.
I'd probably still use 'cheeky monkey' talking to or about a kid though, in fact I'm sure I did when my little brother was growing up. And I've heard it commonly enough in relation especially to kids, "He's a great lad, but he's a cheeky wee monkey." That sort of thing. }}

Love these vids of Perth. Might be biased, but has to be one of the best places to live.

It definitely doesn't get much press, but looks like it should. A kangaroo sanctuary within sight of downtown is way cool. The fact that they trust the general public to walk right up to them is even cooler.

Re: Tales of Home
I was on a subway at the time, so with all that shaking around it would have to be more than a measley 4.7 to be noticed. But other people said they didn't notice it.
We had one years ago while I was teaching a class, and the students reacted; I just thought my mind had gone blurry for a second so couldn't figure out why what I said got them so riled up. It seems when you are concentrating on something a momentary disturbance of reality tends to pass you right by. We are totally used to our frazzled wondering minds.

If it was somebody you were really interested in hearing the cost would be worth it; doesn't look exhorbitant. But John Garth seem only familiar rather than somebody like Humphrey Carpenter I'd definitely slap down some cash to see.

Just taken this video. It's the duck pond at the bottom of our street. 12.30pm July 18th.

Re: Tales of Home
The cloud is produced by
1. stable conditions so that waves will form that oscillate around an equilibrium point
2. Some ridge upwind to push up some air to oscillate
3. strong to moderate winds
Air is rising at a wave crest and cooling, condensing a cloud. You may probably see others rather evenly spaced up and downwind of this one.

Re: Tales of Home
I like it when you explain things Halfy, How you explained this cloud interested me because I was stupid enough not to stay at school and learn anything, Ive picked things up along the way and am still learning. I left school at 14, pretended I was 16 and went straight to work.
I think you did a good job of my cloud Petty, If I saw that coming down the street I for one would shat myself ! Years and years ago some DJ sent off a lazer light at one of his gigs, It flied across the night sky and I fecking panicked big time. I really thought I was seeing something I didnt want.

Re: Tales of Home
Oh it's a very unusual type of cloud that you wouldn't hear about in high school, so you didn't miss anything. I learned about these "lenticular" clouds from hang gliding, and though it was mentioned tangentially in meteorology grad school I likely wouldn't have remembered it as it has little relevance to the weather that most people are interested in.
You can look up lenticular clouds and see even more space alien looking images, but what's closest to what you saw is explained in a page for glider pilots.
