what nations own antarctica? funny image, i bet some people younger than would have wondered why there are no markings or stations listed. ????

Oh, the joke of the first image would be lost on some of today's teens.

@liampie I believe nobody owns it. I think it's internationally governed. If the land were to be able to be settled on, then a whole host of countries would be arguing over it.

There are specific areas in Australia where I wouldn’t fancy being stranded in a car, particularly some of the more secluded and dark locations. I’m aware that Highway 66 in America is well-known and has a reputation for being unsafe for solo or duo travellers due to the horror stories associated with it. However, in terms of places you might regret visiting, Australia just about takes the lead.

That's not right, they've filmed in the West Midlands before. An episode featuring Shakespeare was filmed in an old building in Coventry.

Where are the plátanos (bananas) to represent the Canary Islands on that map of Spain!? These are muy rico (very tasty) having sampled quite a few!

@DangerousSausage I met a Dalek in the pub who claimed he was from Devon so I asked him, "Whereabouts in Devon are you from mate?" He replied, "EXETER MATE!
