[JadedWraith]

Great art everyone. I peeked last week but I was on such a bad slow connection, I wasn't able to post. So kudos for everyone on last week challenge entries, this week and the just beacuse arties. You blow my mind, everytime.!

[maneth]

The only reason we got a traffic light is because

Spoiler:

. . .there's one intersection that gets really congested twice a day. Turn east, and there are three of four schools in our town two blocks away. Turn west, and it takes you to the back entrance of the Air Force base.

I laughed when she told me that!

Of course, I do live in a city a little bigger than lg's. Dallas has a population of around 1.3 million. lg once asked if I had a specific store nearby. I told her "I live in Dallas. There's at least one of EVERYTHING within five - ten minutes of my apt."

Gorgeous, gorgeous arts, and entries everyone!

It is very nice, and thanks for that tip. I appreciate it. You are Jumble are just great.

You're welcome We try to be helpful

Oh so true, Nola! Though, where I live, those are called "villages." Though, two of those "cities" have a bigger population than the town I live in!

We just got our first traffic light within the last year.

In the UK, you only get to be a city if you have a cathedral or if the Queen says you are. The town I grew up in, Reading, has a population of over 300,000 but is still only a town. St David's, in Wales, is a city but has a population of under 2,000. We like to keep things logical over here

So, opened up PS to demonstrate something and wound up making this:

This is what happens when I'm tired and throw random images together.

Beautiful things happen!

If that's true, then explain why "Bob's your uncle" means the same as "We're good to go"...

According to Phrase & Fable, "the phrase was occasioned by A.J. Balfour's promotion by his uncle Robert (Lord Salisbury), the Tory Prime Minister, to the post of Chief Secretary for Ireland."



But yes. Point well made

Never ask a librarian a question - she might just look up the answer

I should have been a librarian. I love books!!!

See, now that's logical. Like Bubble and Squeak. Another thing that doesn't make sense is Yorkshire pudding which isn't really pudding at all.

[Nolamom]

puddings in the UK are not like American puddings. A plum pudding, for example - pretty solid

I'm wondering if I should have been that too. I love the *smell* of books too. Although it conjures too many stereotypical images!

is that THE Memphis....you know the one with the KING and all?

If, by the "KING" you mean Elvis, no. That one is in Tennessee.

Great idea there Nola!

Agreed on Lg art and and Yamii stunning Sherlock sig!

Oh the cities vs towns argument...well here is a combination of population versus physical and social infrastructures and also historical significance (hence the cathedral part in some countries, it means although the population now is not that significant, it may have been an important place some centuries ago). We have aldeias ( villages), vilas (towns) and cidades ( cities). As a curiosity I grew up on a vila which became a cidade in my teens but the town has a "carta de foral" (A Carta de Foral, or simply Foral, was a royal document in Portugal and its former empire, whose purpose was to establish a concelho (Council) and regulate its administration, borders and privileges. A newly founded town would also need the king's approval through a Foral, in order to be considered one. In this case, the town's administration and privileges would be defined in that document.Yep this is from wikipedia, sorry) which dates from 1190.

Oh, and this is my entry. Icons are definetely not my thing: I have a lot of trouble getting a set that actually looks like a set because I often change my mind midcourse

And I never been in New York..sadly. All the rest is familiar to me.
