Disappointed Islands

[giveup]

On Eggheads there was a question about the Disappointed Islands in the Pacific. I have tried google etc but can find nothing about them. Can anyone tell me about them
Just curious. Many thanks

You sure they didn't say 'disputed'?

i.e. 2 countries claiming ownership?

No, definitely Disappointed because as soon as I heard it I tried to look it up.

[NazNomad]

I've been there... bit of an anti climax if the truth be known...

Sorry to hear that, snags.... were you..... errrr..... what's the word, it's on the tip of my tongue....

[snags]

Lets just say I was dismayed, dispiriteded, despondent, distressed, disenchanted, disillusioned, dissatisfied and a little disgruntled...
