    Where is linked by Moonstone, Orange Blossom, Sunshine and the Northern Mockingbird?

    The northern mockingbird is commonly found in North America. As is the orange blossom flower (I think). I have no idea of the other two but will guess Northern America / USA?

    Varieties of tulips?

    I like it and they should be, but afraid not. :( And the question was 'where?' ;)

    It's a tad more specific than a continent or country.

    Sorry completely forgot to come back to this. I'm exhausted right now so let's have a local question and it's a 3-parter.

    What was the first post on boards.ie? Who posted it (his normal nick not the one that actually posted it) and what's his real name?

    Ok so only one person even tried :mad:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1

    Cloud aka John Breslin.

    Pity the biki is gone. The story of how it happened is great.

    One of two things.

    a. A telephone that is loosely attached to its moorings. ( in Italy )

    b. A speaker of Portuguese.

    You can't take two bites of the cherry but I'll give it to you. A speaker of Portuguese it is.
