    I don't know. We saw them at a distance and we just saw their backs and and water coming out of their blowholes (now I really miss TP :v )
    They were small, obviously.

    We think they were long finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas). Whales are hard to count, but the consencus seems to be there were seven of them. I'm glad my niece and nephew got to see the whales, because it was quite a sight.
    Some years ago two whales of the same type spent days in this part of the fjord. MY father and I rowed out to them and thankfully the whales were as curious as we were. They dived under us and swam alongside our small boat, if had been a foot closer I could have touched it. It's quite an experience to have outside my living room window!

    There may have been a couple of Killer Whales too, we are still debating it.

    Tom Cruise called our Minister of Culture because he wants to film more MI in Norway and he needs the ncessary permits.. He wants to shoot scenes for MI7 in the county of Møre & Romsdal where the Atlantic Road is and yours truly lives and for MI8 he wants to film in Bergen.

    How in the hell does a person confuse the Norwegian flag with a Confederate flag?
    I know where you keep your gun!

    Why? Both the designs of the flags and the ideologies ofthose two states are practicdally identical :p

    Right now a group of 8-10 whales are swimming past me on the fjord!

    That must be an amazing sight. Best I can see from my balcony is fireflies :)

    {[] Thanks for all the kind words guys. I have been busy with "Other Things " which I'll
    document in my autobiography some day, Every time I see the Norwegian Flag now, ....
    ... I'll imagine Number24 in a white suit sipping on a Mint julep watching the Whales
    swim past his Veranda, as he rocks gently on his easy chair. ;)

    The outfit may be inacurate, I wasn't drinking anything at the time and instead I was using my binoculars. It was still a fantastic experience.

    Many say the same about myself whilst out swimming, ......... in fact I've
    been mistaken for a whale several times ! :#

    Weird experience just now. I was clicking through Uncrate.com for Bond merch and found they had a page dedicated to a video I made a few years ago: https://uncrate.com/video/a-very-calvin-hobbes-christmas/.

    I'm sitting on the veranda with my brother-in-law doing some light reading. I'm re-reading Thunderball, he's reading Franz Kafka in German :#

    I’m sorting out my man cave and found my Man From UNCLE bubblegum card set from the 60’s. These were sold in packs with a strip of pink bubblegum and swapped in the playground. This is a complete set and if you reverse the cards it makes up the picture as below.

    :) I'm sorry now that I lost (moving house? divorce? can't remember now) my complete set of the UNCLE paperbacks. Long gone. :(

    Ouch! :#

    I’ve got some of those and will post some pics when I find them.

    I’ve been retired for just shy of 7 years and just getting around to tidying up the man cave :))

    Will post some pics of items of interest as I go on.

    I've still got the Superman and Star Wars sets from '77/78. I still remember the smell of the bubblegum when opening the packet. Wonderful memories.

    my favourites were Wacky Packages, which were in the style of MAD magazine.
    I didn't appreciate it as a lad, but learned years later the series was actually created by Art Spiegelman (RAW, Maus) and were contributed to by many drugcrazed subversive underground cartoonists of the day, warping the young children's minds.

    I was too young for the various 60s SpyCraze cards, but I sure got into the Star Wars cards, at least the first series.

    I didn’t collect Wacky Packages, cp, but like TRK, I did collect Superman and Star Wars, even though I was in my 20’s :))

    Pictured below are three more sets from the 60’s, Batman, Battle and Civil War News. Battle cards had a lot of controversy about them at the time as they depicted violent scenes deemed unsuitable for schoolboys , but we all loved them :D

    opium production in Afghanistan has increased
    Dramatically thanks to the farmers using
    Solar panels. :D very much going green .

    They're not the only ones going green. The Kentucky Coal Museum are switching to solar panels because it's far more economical than coal :D
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    They should grow a little opium on the side ;)

    I follow a couple of guys on
    YouTube who are science teachers.
    Who debunk the thousands of
    Flat Earth videos out there. They're
    Always informative and fun. They're
    Called Sci man Dan and Conspiracy catz.
