    Will obviously have to get busier with my HTC Desire (not the HD version, unfortunately).

    Other point: I noticed that striking configuration of the moon and the star last night as well -- anyone know what star it is?

    It's Venus, me old fruit. My attempts to get a decent pic kept being foiled by fog.

    Get a pair of binos on Venus and you'll clearly see its crescent shape. It's the same size as the earth, you know. Jupiter is 10 times wider (and alot further away).

    There's a rare transit of Venus in June:

    Easy to watch by projecting the image through binos on to a card. You'll have to get up early, though (in the UK). Saw the last one in 2004, there won't be another for over a century.

    It was like that when I got here.

    If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.

    Apparently some moderators take themselves very, very seriously, and cannot abide posts such as:
    "If however you offer to moderate you may be a sanctimonious, unfunny pissflap to your heart's content."

    Some comments are allegedly "very very nasty and uncalled for."

    Thanks for the heads-up on the "star." If it's visible tonight, I'll know what I'm looking at!

    It's been lovely to see them like this the past few weeks.

    To the army, to every soldier in it. I have a bond of attachment quite independent of any political reasonings. I was a soldier at that time when the feelings are most ardent and when the strongest attachments are formed. ‘Once a soldier, always a soldier’ is a maxim, the truth of which I need not insist to anyone who has ever served in the army for any length of time.
