What's your favourite island fact?

ours is fkn over populated

Iceland has nothing to do with ice, but actually translates as "Island".

No man is  an. ...

Iceland is mostly green land, greenland is mostly ice land.

Thomas Chappel started a fire as a prank on Charles Island (now called Floreana Island) in the Galapagos in 1820, whilst he and his fellow whaleship mates were hunting for tortoises. The fire soon burned out of control and devastated the whole island, contributing to the extinction of the Floreana tortoise and the near extinction of the Floreana mockingbird. Later on the same voyage, Chappel's whaleship was stoved and sank by a huge sperm whale, the crew had to use the whaleboats as lifeboats and were consigned to an almost impossible attempt to sail to safety. Chappel and two fellow crewmates eventually decided to maroon themselves on the uninhabited Henderson Island in the Pitcairns, while most of the rest of the crew succumbed to starvation, thirst and cannibalism at sea. 4 of those who remained in the whaleboats, out of 20, reached safety. Chappel and the other 2 castaways were eventually rescued, close to death. Chappel would eventually drown when his ship on a subsequent voyage sank. The whale-stoving was the inspiration for Melville's Moby Dick.

if you were to travel around the british isles in water, using only farts as a propellant, it'd take you a very long time.

although banned in most countries the isle of man continued to birch young offenders after a court appearance. they eventually binned birching as a form of punishment in 1976....

In Sark you are allowed to beat your wife as long as the stick is not thicker than your little finger

The Island of Adventure (published in 1944) is a popular children's book by Enid Blyton. It is the first book in the Adventure Series, for me.

Bouvet Island in Southern Ocean, almost 2000 miles from next nearest land, it's the most remote place on Earth

And a mystery to boot.....

erse ffs, what is your stupid obsession with farts,  it's fckuing weird

Stephen Fry

"It has the most appalling hotels. And the food, I can't even tell you. There's one place that serves fantastically fresh seafood that's not mucked about with. Tanroagan [9 Ridgeway St., Douglas; 44-7624/472-411] is famous for its scallops."
ANY TAILLESS CATS? "Last trip I saw lots of them. Locals say they were late onto Noah's Ark and the door got closed on their tails. Really, it's just hideous inbreeding of the worst kind."

What's the difference between a continent and an island? Is Australia just a very big Island?

just don't read the posts acquiesce, not everything is designed to occupy your pee heid.

For almost 100 years, igloos were displayed on the Turks & Caicos flag.
When the flag was designed, in 1870, the flag maker, who had no idea where the islands were,
thought the two mounds of salt in a sketch he was given to work from were igloos.
He added a door to them, and incorporated them into the design, which was not changed until 1968.

you're quite clearly a phucking ODDBALL, every chance you get you slip the word FART into it, you are easily the most peculiar fella I've ever come across

not every post, far from it. and why so serious and having to lie to make a point. priiiiiiick.

I knew that poppy, it was on Sheldon Coopers "Fun With Flags"

O.K. - serious answer to O.P.   from me - Denny Island.

pretty much every other post you ODDBALL, do you not see how peculiar it is, fart this, fart that, it;s not funny or interesting! sort yourself out, if you concentrated less on fart jokes and SOCIALISED a bit more your PRICK might see more action

In a forum where 90% of comments are intended as worthless, you're going to focus on mine and take them seriously?

What's wrong with you. Are you here to make friends? Struggling to hold it together and find me unsettling? Prude?

Sounds like you're a wee bit vain and take yourself too seriously. Maybe I find the reaction of being peculiar amusing. You taking it serious is amusing. Some bloke on a gambling forum on a Saturday night telling me to socialise more... is amusing. Telling a stranger what they should be doing in their life is frankly dumb... you're dumb aren't you?

In Total Drama Island episode "Paintball Deer Hunter", as the kids are served canned beans for breakfast, Owen sings the song (Beans,Beans, The Musical Fruit) before Heather throws a can at his face.

yes I have a genuine obsession with farts. I'm typing this under my covers with a healthy aroma around me just now. clingon to that idea, it'll give you some leverage

i just exuded a prolonged dirty rasper, i think the smell will last about 20 minutes.

You can waffle on and on, if it helps you rationalise your bizarre obsession with farts, dn't let me stop you.

whatever makes you feel better about yourself sonny jim.

I have seen some personality form you at least, there is hope for you yet.

let's keep the ball rolling then, since we're trolling each other.

where to start.

ok,im not sure but I think a place called Krackatoea(I think its an island)and it exploded one day.I remember seeing it on youtube sometime.but it was a big big explosion ,might have been an earthquake,or a volcano erupted .but its famous for what happened to it.

if everybody in the british isles all jumped up and down at the exact same time... they might lose some phooking weight!

if everybody jumbed up and down in Scotland at the same time it might break off from the mainland and solve all.

jumped
