Yes, it seems to be a brownish purple. I'm sure there's a name for that shade and as a bit of an artist I should know the colour's name but am not really sure.

^ Maroon.

Thanks, Krabo. Naturally. Fancy my having to ask a Finn for an English word! What would we do without you?

You would speak better English than with me teaching you your language.

Now that you took up languages, Enviro, is it really correct that "my" is in Afrikaans the same, "my"? At least this is what Google translate suggests. If so, is it pronounced [mai]?

Yes, "my" in Afrikaans is used as in the following example:

Dis my hoed (It's my hat) and pronounced like the month of May.

Thank you Enviro. Oh, it's like "may".

Our national sport is ice hockey, as it is in Canada. Yours seems to be soccer, cricket or rugby. Is there any sport in the world where our two different countries could compete equally? What about speedway?

The following clip is from Walkerville, South Africa.

That's just south of Johannesburg.

Walkerville's just south of Johannesburg.

and then vereeniging is just south of that.

Spot on!

Like me, you're strong on geography and like to know where things are. I love browsing atlases and maps of all kinds, quite apart from my own maps of Territoria and surrounding areas.

Enviro, let's test something. Under this link -- http://www.maanmittauslaitos.fi/kartat/ ... tapaikasta -- you will find detailed maps of Finland, but I'm not sure if they work outside of Scandinavia. Just click on the blue text Karttapaikalle >> and tell me what happens. If it works, you can zoom in with the [+] buttons and center your location just clicking on the map.

it is working for me.

Good to hear that, Kip.

Thank you, it works!
