TBH, after being kicked on the floor, mugged of my wallet, camera and phone I felt like that as well. Still, at least it's nicer than Barcelona.

I've been banned from the Flat Earth Forums a couple of times, they are a very good way to amuse yourself. I've found just starting a post with a picture of earth taken from space is good enough to start a major argument.

If it wasn't for the photo evidence and the bits of trackbed still there on the beach I would have dismissed this as an elaborate hoax. How do you think up something this weird yet brilliant?

I often see vans from "Diaper Poultry" which just makes me feel sick but I wondered what the origins of "diaper" were.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaper

Basically it's English for the type of diamond design material used and later the name associated with diapers themselves and was kept by the yanks whereas ours was changed to nappy.
