    If your two acres is really narrow you can be many, many miles out.

    (edited now hopefully realising which way round the error was)

    Depends. How long do you think a mile is?

    As far as the playing surface goes, essentially yes

    The space behind the end zones and each sideline can vary considerably

    An aircraft carrier is 2.5 hectares.

    2.5 acres to a hectare, 2.5 hectares to an aircraft carrier. It is the universal surface area scale.

    I don’t know whether it’s right wrong it’s just what I’ve always done.

    I wonder if this whole legal process will dispel some of the persistent mystery around the unusual relationship with his ex-wife.

    Well fingers crossed that the last two lines will be:

    And we never saw him again.

    The etymology of cark-it is to become a carcass.
    An alternative derivation offered here:

    in fact, the term cark it is actually Hindi, and was picked up by the British during the Raj era. It was used prior to Australia's colonisation.

    It stems from a Hindi word, like so many other english words such as bungalow, pajama, pakka, shampoo and a hundred others (books have been written on Hindi words coming into usage in english)

    Back to cark.. it comes from the word Khak.. which means dirt, dust, etc. the word Khaki is also from the same root, meaning the colour of dust, or the colour of the dirt/mud, in Hindi.

    So the term to 'cark it' derives from 'dust to dust, ashes to ashes' referring to death.. when we die, we return to dust.. therefore to cark it means to return to Khak...

    The QEII is ran by Wansbeck and Cramlington Angling Club and is by the side of a pub. What more could you want? Its the perfect place to fish and then head next door for a pint and discuss all those fish that you “nearly” caught but got away.

    The lake is large in size at 40 acres and due to its size its shared with watersports users but there is still plenty of room to fish out of their way.

    In the lake you can find carp, bream, roach, rudd, tench, perch and pike.

    I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise that there are plenty of QE2 rugs, if not carp its.
