All in we were a complete bunch of losers in sixth form and were chastised a few times by the headmaster for simply existing.
Not undeserved though. We were rude abnoxious little sh!ts from the outset.

Indonesian restaurants in the Netherlands usually have Rijsttafel on their menu. A temptingly scrumptious creation of many individual dishes, best shared at leisure with good companions - and it's advisable to leave items with tight-fitting waistbands in the wardrobe ...

Re: Last two letters start the next word v2.
It seemed reasonable to assume that the playing colours of the Zebras would include some black and white, and lo and behold, they do! But are they predominantly black with white stripes, or white with black stripes I wonder ...

Tyndale Monument - why do I love my country? Many, many reasons, including that it's the sort of place where the locals have a hill called Nibley Knoll, (that they prefer to call Nibley Knob), and on top of it they built a tall tower to commemorate a fellow called William Tyndale who was born nearby, and was a translator of the New Testament into English. They leave the tower door open for any passer-by to climb its stairs and admire the splendid views, free, gratis, and for nothing ... priceless! How can anyone not admire the marvellous dottiness of it all?

Leadwood not to be used to make a mokoro (dug out canoe )'cos it will sink.
We have a company in Maun called Leadwood and they make excellent furniture, a lot for the safari camps. The leadwood furniture is beautiful but very very heavy. Surprised the staff don't develop hernias.

It's an oddity that Leadwood is so dense that it sinks in water, and makes heavy furniture. Another similarly strange wood is Lignum Vitae, which also has a density of about 1230 kgs per cubic metre. Players of lawn bowls used to have their balls made from it, which they called "woods", but now use man-made composition balls of similar density. I wonder what they call those?

Pejorative - expressing contempt or disapproval. In my youth I was quietly proud of being the first in my family to attend a King Edward VI Grammar School (founded in 1549 during the reign of Henry VIII's son). So during a CCF gliding course I was shocked to overhear two other cadets from a well-known fee-paying Public School refer to myself and my companion as "those Grammar School oiks". It hadn't occurred to me until then, that our school might be regarded as inferior by others. Later in life I was to learn that arrogant rogues and true gentlemen both come from the full spectrum of social classes.

Studebaker Avanti - a short-lived supercharged American car type once owned by the Bond creator Ian Fleming. Scroll down to see a pic of him standing beside his. In 1963 he halted in it at a traffic census I was taking part in; not because we had selected him for questioning, but because he wanted to know why we were conducting it. The writer's enquiring mind, perhaps ...
