There are occasional visitors - by airplane, not drumline, as the nearest American base is at least 1000km away! Probably further. I think there's an Argentinean base about 600km away. <BR/><BR/>Becky - I didn't picture you as the penguin, but I did picture you telling the story. I believe you could imitate penguin language quite well!Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480703621880467989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567067598926071596.post-87534251827464448342007-11-07T18:06:00.000-08:002007-11-07T18:06:00.000-08:00I'm curious about Halley's bar/lounge.

Do you ever have visitors from the American base, or is their base not along your drumline? Also, is there any truth to the appendix-removal stories? Your penguin stories and pics beat "Surf's Up"--yes, we tried watching it!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432542432589242403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567067598926071596.post-31989033221638042952007-11-07T07:12:00.000-08:002007-11-07T07:12:00.000-08:00I just want to know what a body has to do to learn...I just want to know what a body has to do to learn this penguin language, sounds like it would be much in demand.....Cleavershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687767059519208168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567067598926071596.post-22663841716011454352007-11-07T02:44:00.000-08:002007-11-07T02:44:00.000-08:00Ryan - did that penguin remind you of me in any wa...Ryan - did that penguin remind you of me in any way? I know that's what James is going to say when he reads this! So now, I'm a cross between Butters, Ralph Wiggum and a daft penguin - hurrah!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03013376224294781066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567067598926071596.post-50392682927996902602007-11-06T17:52:00.000-08:002007-11-06T17:52:00.000-08:00LMAO... coincidentally I'm teaching animal behavio...LMAO... coincidentally I'm teaching animal behaviour on Thursday...
