BL>  PE> Someone from St Petersburg FREQed my files list a couple of

BL>  PE> of the Ukraine you stupid bloody Macedonians.

BL>  db> I must be missing something here .. since when was St

BL>  PE> I thought it was. Isn't it? BFN.

OK, so that's Paul' message. Now we have 2 totally different replies.
Firstly...

RS> PE> I thought it was.  Isn't it?  BFN.

RS> Nope. Dont worry, you were only half a continent out |-)

RS> Macedonia even further away too |-)

And then, in another vein...

BL>  PE> I thought it was. Isn't it? BFN.

BL>   Bloody hell! I thought ypu were being cryptically loony by mixing
BL> three totally unrelated locations! I give you too much credit. St
BL> Petersburg is in the northeast corner of the Baltic; the Ukraine is
BL> the plains north of the Black Sea, and Macedonia is in the mountains
BL> north of Greece, at the southern end of Yugoslavia.

I know which one I got some knowledge from. I know whom I thought the
smart-arse.

Regards, FIM.
