    How often do you use a globe to find out where you are?

    Typical.

    All these spam ads, and no-one does a thing about them.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    When I was ickle we had our parents point out where we were.

    Then we'd check were we were in relation to other places, and stuff like that.

    Globes are orsum for stuff like that.

    Fun to look at when you are planning trips to faraway places as well. Flat maps are boring, and distorted.

    The only problem is, you have to keep them updated. Biggles and JPaul were going on about visiting Atlantis the other day, until I put them right .

    I love globes, I find them fascinating.

    Don't make me out to be some kind of globophobe
