eh

Originally from Dublin, Ireland. Moved to London and then Leeds, England, I now live in Toronto, Canada. Oh and now back again. Anyway, you can take the woman out of Ireland but, you know the rest. Basically the stuff on here will be the same no matter where I am. Ramblings and rantings about stuff, some from Canada.Some of them really do say 'eh' ~~~~~ "ascertaining the comprehension, continued interest, agreement, etc., of the person or persons addressed"

It's all Greek to me

This is Alexander the Great Parkette. When I first came to Toronto and discovered 'Parkettes' for the first time, I found the word odd and funny. I'd never seen parkettes anywhere else in the world and wasn't sure what to make of the notion. A parkette is, as the name suggests, a small park, a park-ling, if you will. Usually just a patch of grass or a fountain with some benches.
Now of course, I think parkettes perfectly normal and reasonable.


Alexander the Great Parkette is for all seasons, a water fountain in summer and this 'fountain' in winter. I'm assuming that this:


is Greek for Merry Christmas.

Does anyone know any Greek?
