Jay Mandal
August 2007
Have you posted it? The last bit must be time. The first bit sounds like rhododendron, but I can't remember what that means.

They use dendrochronology in archaeological programmes when they want to date wooden objects such as beams.
Isabella King
August 2007
Ahha, Dendrochronology is the art of aging trees from their rings
But what does Slubberdegullion mean?
Jay Mandal
August 2007

Flick

You're a mean, dirty wretch, Jay!
Jay Mandal
