Thanks for the report Davey (or rather, the teaser in order to lure us to your website); note that it is Van Diemen's Land, not Van Diemans Land. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_van_Diemen I pondered awhile about that and eventually went both ways in my newsfeed article to try to keep everyone happy. But quoting from The Tasmanian Distillery history site : [quote] The Tasmanian Distillery proudly continues a long tradition of Tasmanian whisky making that dates back to 1822. What is now called Tasmania was once a British penal colony called Van Diemans land. Established in 1803, Van Diemans Land was designed to be a convict settlement from which escape would be improbable as it is an isolated island at the southern end of the earth. The fierce and unforgiving Southern Ocean fortresses this colony. Many a person of Celtic origin was transported to Van Diemans land as punishment for their misdemeanors [ENDQUOTE] Not that it really matters. -- Firefox Web Browser - Rediscover the web - http://getffox.com/ Now if that LameBrained FireFox could only read those sh!tty GatezSpeak .MHT files it would be perfection indeed -- le Vent a Dos, Davey Crockett Six Day Site - current year Sixes: http://sixday.741.com/2004-2005/2004-2005.html Latest Road Racing news at http://sixday.741.com/news.html RSS feed: http://sixday.741.com/rssfeed/newsfeed.rss |
