Where do you find these things?!!! My favourite .... the 'theory which
is not the theory' ... If you were to stand in a lit room in front of
a closed, dark closet, and slowly opened the closet door, you would
see the light slowly enter the closet. But since dark is so fast, you
would not be able to see the dark leave the closet. ))

That's a thread to itself that is. Tell us more about the moorhen
gizmo you're making in your lurkin.

We have to lose daylight, because if we didn't then when the Spring came,
we'd get longer and longer days every year until there was no night, which
would ruin the tourist trade in Hammerfest.

)) off to look were Hammerfest is

I'll leave the lignification to you - I know nothing about it.

Hammerfest, as any fule kno, is in the North of Norway. I have been there
for two of the same reasons as anyone else goes there, these reasons being

o to see the midnight sun;
o to say they've been to the most Northerly town in the world (even though
it isn't);
o because they live there

I recommend the first one, and if you're lucky you get to see the Northern
lights too. Not usually at the same time.

This has shed a lot of lights on the matter. Thank you.

You know, I've heard some people saying to have seen it from Cumbria!
Is this true?

The message from "Uncle Marvo"
contains these words:

And I'm busy working on a moorhen-deterrent.

You have moorhens in your garden? WOW!! Any photos?

I have loads. It's a mooring, hence the moorhens. I can take some pics later
if you want to see them, they are mob-handed and there are loads of chicks
at the moment. I also have otters, terrapins, swans, cygnets, white ducks (I
think), greylags and, sadly, mink and Canada geese.

Amongst the plants are orange balsam (which is apparently rare in most
places, but rife where I am - one of my favourite wild flowers) and, sadly
again, Japanese knotweed.

I'll get the camera out this afternoon and find somewhere to post them
tomorrow morning.

None of the many PCs I have used have come with clocks wrong. Could
it be that the user is responsible?

All the ones I've bought for wurk have come with the default set at PST. I
reset them all to DublinEdinburghLondon. I've always wondered why London
comes last. It isn't even North - South.

"L" comes after 'D' and then even after 'E' in my alphabet, where does it
come in yours?

You'll have to wait. I expect I shall bung them on flicker or that cjoint

Cjoint only takes files less than 500dpi, so that you know. Better use
Flicker for a straight camera/flicker transfer. French people are
complicated ... they smell nice, but they're complicated.

I would say it was a typo, but I'd be lying. My maths isn't all that good
:-) And I have flu. And I shouldn't be here really.
