In my day we were taught that the highest mountain in Europe was Mont Blanc. Not anymore apparently.

I can draw the life cycle of the ox bow lake perfectly.

keith16 · 25-01-2015 10:06PM

Ox-bow lakes FTW.

donvito99 · 25-01-2015 10:06PM

The Barrow, the Nore and the Suir.

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.

coolabula · 25-01-2015 10:08PM

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.

longshanks · 25-01-2015 10:10PM

Ox-bow lakes, interlocking spurs and glaciers. I could draw those badboys likes a pro.

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.

Ireland is like a saucer-flat in the centre and mountains around the coast.

The sum of the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.....

........I used to do my maths homework in geography.

Stalactite hangs down.

Stalagmite grows up.

And sedimentary rocks. I don't remember anything about them. Just the name.

namloc1980 · 25-01-2015 10:15PM

Back when I was in primary school acid rain was all the rage.

Geography was easy until the Soviet Union broke up.

The name says it all!

Thurles is a marketing town, as is Cashel and the smaller town of Roscrea.

Laois. Only county in Ireland that borders counties that don't touch the sea.

mikemac1 · 25-01-2015 10:20PM

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 · 25-01-2015 10:21PM

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

razorblunt · 25-01-2015 10:21PM

Sil-leagan and Creimeadh na hAbhann.

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
