I thought I just heard the first cuckoo of Spring......

You mean Antipodes, right? So the cuckoo brings the Sping there? Here it's more of a swallow thing, although we say that "One swallow does not bring the Spirng". But I just found out that the english saying is about swallows and Summer, hmmm, interesting....

There is an old Endlish custom of the letter to the Times annually about the first Cuckoo of Spring....

But, then the Engish are Cuckoo, no?

I thought we already had that.

Well, I am at least half right, if you want to disagree.

Starting to look as if I have successfully found all the trolls in the place at last, as there are no replies in a week.
