yes island and the isle of man is sort of in the neighborhood but not where I am

nope, no ire around here.

ice?

no ice. Quick, get out of that volcanic ash cloud and head east.

are you in the baltic?

North Atlantic?

You said WH, right? (post #9752)

^my bad...

within 100 km of ireland?

Orkney Is?

Faroe islands?

Orkney and Faroe are quite close but I'm not at those islands. Head a little north and look for a special type of building with a funny/unusual name. If someone yelled this name at you, you might think they were pissed off at you or being sort of rude ...i.e., the sound of it not the actual meaning.

Near Greenland?

Are you on Svalbard?

you guys are far out! Greenland is too far NW and Svalbard is too far NE. How cute is that? :) < that part's not a clue, just me engaging you in deeper discussion on this fun and previously nonsensical topic. This is a clue: go back to the UK and you'll start to see the light.

Are you at a lighthouse in Shetland?

ahh, now you're cookin' < That's not a clue either, I just can't shut up < btw, that's not a clue, either....so just yes. Now find one that sounds like somebody is yelling something rude to you, and it also has some kind of superlativeness about it. In case you're like my kids, it may not sound "rude" to you, it might just be a normal lyric from any number of your favorite hiphop/rap tunes you listen to while doing your homework and you're mother's cooking dinner in the kitchen.

so who wants a pony ride?

Are you at the Muckle Flugga Light House, which marks the northernmost point of the British Isles?

amonkie, you are the winner again! You little Mikla Flugey.

I learned something, too. You have to watch out for mermaids. Did you read what this one did below?:

Muckle Flugga is a small rocky island north of Unst in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. It is often described as the northernmost point of the British Isles, but the smaller islet of Out Stack is actually farther north. It used to be the northernmost inhabited island, but forfeited that accolade when the lighthouse was automated and the last residents moved out.

The name comes from Old Norse, Mikla Flugey, meaning "large steep-sided island". The original name was "North Unst", but in 1964 that was changed to "Muckle Flugga".

According to local folklore, Muckle Flugga and nearby Out Stack were formed when two giants, Herma and Saxa, fell in love with the same mermaid. They fought over her by throwing large rocks at each other, one of which became Muckle Flugga. To get rid of them, the mermaid offered to marry whichever one would follow her to the North Pole. They both followed her and drowned, as neither could swim.

Well there you are!

Wyoming?

amonkie,
do you know how progressive Wyoming is regarding women's rights?

Wyoming was the first U.S. state to grant suffrage to women, Wyoming was also the home of other firsts for U.S. women in politics. For the first time, women served on a jury in Wyoming (Laramie in 1870). Wyoming had the first female court bailiff (Mary Atkinson, Laramie, in 1870) and the first female justice of the peace in the country (Esther Hobart Morris, South Pass City, in 1870). Wyoming became the first state in the Union to elect a female governor, Nellie Tayloe Ross, who was elected in 1924 and took office in January 1925. Because of rights given to women, Wyoming earned the nickname of "The Equality State".
