Today's S.T. Clue-Writing Contest.

Okay, I got Roger's, but the rest is just gobbledygook to me - could have something to do with my being in Singapore having just done the 13 hour leg of my journey back to Sydney.  Don't like doing it this way round.  Luckily, next flight (about 7 and a half hours) gets in to Sydney in the evening, so can go straight to bed.

Back to your syllables, now.

The syllables, Diane. There are two in "prison" and four in "court tomorrow".

That's clever Roger - I was thinking it was a UK band in trouble for something.

It's good to have a choice of which way round you go. I'd like to visit Singapore. In fact I'd like to see a lot more of the Far East. A younger brother of mine (an ornithologist), is working in South Korea at the moment and he sent me a link to his albums on Picasa. Definitely a place I'd like to visit. Interconnecting air travel seems so cheap there, at least from Manila, that it all seems entirely possible.

It's well worth a visit Peepsie, I've been there about half a dozen times.  Ask your brother if he's got used to 'Soju' yet..

[The Peepmaster]

He's talking of living there one day. He's doing ecology work, which is what he usually does in the UK. He's just finished writing a book there which I believe went to print this week. His wife is a native Korean, and she did the translation, and their young daughter is at school there while he's working. I hope he does settle there as it'll give us an excuse to fly over there while on our trips to Manila. He's currently in the city of Mokpo in the South West.

That's the trouble with the east there is so many place to explore Great Yarmouth Cromer Felixstowe Halstead all to explore.
good luck Peeps

[Diane CBPFC]

I can see why he would want to live there - sensible road planning.

[Vulture]

Hardly any traffic!

[The Peepmaster]

I thought that. It looks like a trip back to the 1950's. I can't imagine Seoul is that quiet.

Sorry, but am I alone in thinking that the Mokpo city architects are stuck in a serious rut, and desperately need their set squares broken?

But it does look ever so tidy.....

[Tom]

... and that looks like a round(ish) building in the middle...

[The Peepmaster]

I have to agree, that city does look dreary. I like the look of this dinosaur museum though.

The clue-writing competition for the word "syllables" was won with....
Liverpool 3 Chelsea 2.
Much better and far more succinct than my effort.

Yours was excellent, Roger.



But, yep - that one's better.
