Getting completely off topic, Doc I was born in Yakima Washington
Being called Gimli is quite the compliment since the Dwarves resemble the scots quite a bit. 8)
Ogres are like onions, they have layers!

Thanks for the explanations Mike, Glen and Magnus. When I was a child in the 1940s, and every other film to come out was a 'Cowboys and Indians', the latter were always "Red Indians". I knew of no other sort, and as for different tribes, well, forget it!
There is far too much so-called "Political correctness" in our lives thesedays for my liking. It's ridiculous. I prefer my coffee without milk/cream, but apparently it's not PC to ask for a black coffee, as we have done for as long as I can remember. One should request "coffee without"!!!!

Hamish, you can turn political correctness completely on its ear and tell your waitress "I like my coffee the way I like my women; hot and black." This works well. Most of the time, anyway. Keep an eye out for unidentified floating objects, though, just in case.

Thanks Marcus. However, if I said that I'd be lying!
