I'm in there somewhere honest.   | ||

That picture is a bit old and to be honest, I don't know which one is me. | ||

Good pics, Weber - whereabouts were the hill-walking ones taken? | ||

You mean there's two of you! Jeez . . . | ||

The hill walking pics were taken in the Langdale valley oop there in the rather magnificent lake district. Gary - there's only one of me. I just happen to have a brother who looks similar. I did mention having a twin on another post recently. | ||

Ladies and gentleman, we present to you the Unnecessarily Literal Explanation of the Year Award Winner 2009.  | ||

Gary - saying to a twin - "Jeez there's two of you" is about equivalent to saying "I don't believe it!" to Richard wilson or "you'd better cut down then" to Mr Smoketoomuch. | ||

Prof - it's pretty clear which one is Weber...the one nearest the camera. The other little chap looks quite a happy sensible fella, the other has the maliciousness of a rabid dog sparkling behind his solar panel sized spectacles. | ||

Weber, I bow before your ineffable comic genius. Oh, teach me how to pun and jibe, my master. | ||
| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.47 |
Normal sized specs. Small head. | ||
| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.47 |
Actually Frank, looking closely at the picture, the one closest to the camera is wearing brown glasses, and the one at the back has black glasses. That means that the one in the foreground is indeed me because the colour of our specs was the only way our parents could tell us apart (not to mention teachers etc. The only person who's always been able to tell us apart at a glance is our sister). | ||

"Weber, I bow before your ineffable comic genius. Oh, teach me how to pun and jibe, my master." Hmmm... I know I like a challenge but there are times when I need to accept that some things just aren't possible...  | ||

"Magnificent"?!... Where's all the trees?... Boring! | ||
| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.47 |
Down in the valleys you can see them in the distance in the second and fourth pictures. Now Frank, see if you can spot me in the other pictures. | ||

| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.47 |
and a couple more that I didn't take (I forgot my camera but one of the guys emailed all the pics he took round to the group of us). there are some more trees visible in these shots to keep our simple American friend happy    | ||

That woman behind the three of you - wearied out, I'll bet, from an entire day exposed to Weber-wit.... Better - more like what I picture England to be like. | ||

Weber - is that you on the end? No...not the one with the glasses, the nice smiley female. Don't tell me you're a woman. Eh? Wait a minute. That'd explain quite a lot. Doesn't matter one bit to me, mate. Live and let live is what I say. | ||
| Frank (Frank) Username: Frank Registered: 09-2008 Posted From: 213.158.199.80 |
Seriously, I looked at your pics from the lakes to Africa, and I have no idea which one is you??? So, you are a mountain climber? Bit of an athletic soul, are ye? Did I scoff at your opinion of Phantasm? Now I come to think of it, you're right, mate. Blame Craig. He paid me 3 quid to say those things. I always respected you. Yeah, Craig, you manipulative bastard. Haven't you done enough? Aren't you ever satisfied???? Are you listening? I know you're out there. I can smell ya. | ||

What you're smelling, Frank, is my dump. -- er, the one in the picture, I mean. | ||

Identical twin brothers in my class at school often fought each other, didn't get along. Mischievous, I told one to tell the other how bloody ugly he was. | ||

Weber, do you know anything about sheep? I ask because those in the picture - I've never seen that breed before. What breed are they, do you know? * thinks: someone's going to spend ages coming up with a silly comment here * | ||
| Mark_lynch (Mark_lynch) Username: Mark_lynch Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 217.171.129.72 |
They look like Herdwick. Though the wool's not grown as much as on some I've seen. Herdwick are a hardy breed, favoured by Lakelanders for the higher fells. Beatrix Potter used to keep them. | ||
| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.47 |
I know nothing about sheep except the best recipes with which to eat their young. Mr lynch is probably right as it was in the lakes. | ||
| Carolinec (Carolinec) Username: Carolinec Registered: 06-2009 Posted From: 82.38.75.85 |
Thanks, Mark - I didn't realise we had sheep experts here too! My interest, in case you're wondering, is that I have a bit of an agricultural bent in that my first taste of working life, many years ago, was in farming. But I don't know enough to be able to tell one sheep breed from another, obviously! Nice pics anyway, Weber. | ||
| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.47 |
We have experts on any subject you can think of here. No matter how obscure. The mating habits of the horntoed mexican tree frog - Craig can tell you evrything you need to know. The best shop to buy KY jelly in basinstoke - there's at least 6 people here could tell you. Try us. Think of a subject... | ||

Weber: Can God create a rock so big even He can't lift and drop it on your head? | ||
| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.47 |
No, because he can just create a bigger version of himself to pick up the rock | ||
| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.47 |

| Craig (Craig) Username: Craig Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 75.5.14.232 |
"Next," huh? Well can God create a rock so bigger that even a bigger version of Himself that He created can't pick it up and drop it on your friggin' head? HA! Got you there, didn't I? | ||

This could go on ad infinitum ... | ||
| Craig (Craig) Username: Craig Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 75.5.13.220 |
To be perfectly anal, Caroline, Weber's response - for God to create a bigger version of Himself that will pick the big rock up - is to say: God CAN create a rock so big even He can't pick it up. Which is why Weber's God needs to create the bigger version, that can. Which is to say: Weber's God is a flawed and fallen God, who creates that which He cannot control. But I'm happy to know Weber's God is still willing to help out in picking up a rock even He can't lift in order to drop it on Weber's thickishly numbskulled of a head. | ||

There are so many responses to that. I'm tempted to say "It's not from personal experience, his mother told me" but I think I'd be accused of bring the board into disrespect again... so I'd better not say it. | ||

Seriously, have you two ever met in real life? The funny thing is, I bet you'd get on really well together and become lifelong buddies. | ||
