StewartyMac Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Why is turkey both in asia and europe? There's quite a bit of history behind it. I'm not versed up on it, but I think it's to do with the original 'Turks' being of Asian descent, whilst the ancient land of Byzantium was European. The Turks invaded Byzantium and Turkey was born. Geographically, I think only about 10% of the country is in Europe, and many agree the dividing point is the Bosporus which runs straight through Istanbul. same said for Russia Well, that's more geographical given its enormous size, I would've thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_BCFC Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Have we managed to get to the bottom of the deepest oceans or not? I mean, could there still be 100ft sharks fighting massive squids or something in the darkest parts of the sea that we just haven't reached yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gc_smfc Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Does anyone want to clean my kitchen for me, basically dishes, work surface's, the floor etc. It's a small kitchen so only 2 hours work at most. Payment in pieces and jam and biscuits. I really can't be bothered tidying it myself, pretty much every dish needs cleaned 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Arch Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Does anyone know any companies taking on electricians? One of my bestest buds passed his trade test today, but was let go straight away because they couldn't afford to keep him on now that the government weren't paying for most of his wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
