Mountain ranges, I believe.

The CCCP is the world's largest country.

Every single county in Ireland. I find it baffling now when anyone else can't name all 32 within a few minutes. We just learned them off and I always assumed everyone else did too. Amazing the amount of people who get to about 25 and struggle after that.

All the counties of Ireland, can still sing them in the order we learned them

America and the UK are far away from each other.

The McGillycuddy reeks cause heavy local precipitation in an area of land called its "rain shadow". Basically, incoming clouds from south-westerly winds precipitate in the 'shadow' of the mountain range, whilst the dry air advances across Munster

On associated McGillycuddy Reeks news, there is a man called "The McGillycuddy of the Reeks". He is an Irish chieftan, or 'Tanasite', who can trace his ancestry directly back to the Celtic Kings of Munster during the time of Our Lord.

Global warming is a load of cock.

I still say Bombay, Burma, Taiwan and I ain't changing :cool:

I've adapted to Beijing but that was Peking when I was a young 'un. You don't order Beijing duck, do you, do you??

Baggy Trousers

Corrie lakes. Birthplaces of glaciers. Still marvel at them when hill walking.

Good one. Remember that.

The physical features of Ireland resemble a castle ie mountain ranges near the coast surrounding a flat central plain.
A few days after learning this the teacher asked me what did Ireland resemble.
I answered him with my own opinion whenever I see Ireland on a map-
A Teddy Bear!
The class was in stitches.

Whatever happened the ozone layer anyway? Is it solved?

We were told fridges and spray cans like deodorant causing it huge harm and we all had to get CFC-free
