Pssst!! Duggie....

Sorry, I know nothing that doesn't involve half an ounce of lead...

And the same to you, bro! (I'm now waiting for @dughlas to spot the invisible plaid....)

Considering I was born in 1947, and you claim that 1953 was the year before you were born, you have just proven the truth of the following statement of yours, ma Sherye:

I see we're on page 1953.... I remember the year 1953. It was the year sugar rationing finally ended in England, which meant I didn't have to bring the family's ration book with me each week when I went to the corner shop to buy two ounces of boiled sweets with the thruppenny bit I got as my weekly pocket money. Source: February 5, 1953: Children rejoice as sweet rationing ends in Britain. Rationing had been introduced early in the Second World War, initially for petrol, but rationing of food soon followed in January 1940, with bacon, butter and sugar the first items to be limited.

Well, it's after midnight here, so I think I'll finish my cocoa and head to bed. Goodnight, friends! I'll leave you with this classic 1977 performance by three English musicians, playing (and improvising) Fanfare for the Common Man (composed in 1942 by the American composer Aaron Copland), and recorded in Canada in an empty Montreal Olympic Stadium (although to look at the empty stadium you could be excused for thinking this was recorded during the 2020 lockdown).

I honestly don't know which of the two of you to feel the most pity for.....

*shakes head in frustration* Please go back and read what I wrote, ma Sherye.... On second thoughts, don't bother, I'll quote it below, (and highlight the important word): I didn't actually claim to be him! (Do I sound a bit like Drew, now? Lecturing one of his minions?)

I've two words for you, ma fée maléfique..... The first rhymes with truck And the second rhymes with cough.. (Just kidding)

I'd class myself as being more from the Irish Faerie tradition, to be honest.... Maybe related to Prince Finvarra, Lord of the Irish Otherworld in traditional Irish Gaelic mythology:

Erm.... Erm..... Erm...... Erm.... *even more speechless*

Aw.... you're just too kind!

The Faroe Islands are actually a self-governing overseas administrative division of the Kingdom of Denmark.... I suspect @Timothy M. - our very own resident "Droll Dane" - might know more about them than me.
-
I know.... But my question was asking if you think we bother looking.

The first roundabout under the Atlantic Ocean is a reality. "The Faroe Islands are set to open an under-sea roundabout following more than three years of construction. The underwater tunnels connect the islands of Streymoy and Eysturoy in a network some 6.8 miles (11km) long. The network is scheduled to open on 19 December." Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55195390 The roundabout is decorated beautifully by the Faroese artist Tróndur Patursson
