    Read somewhere this week that Stephen Hawking, famous Scientist; sorry, 'Applied Mathematician & Theoretical Physicist' to be correct, is strongly advising against humans seeking out extra terrestrial life forms. Leave well alone & remain inconspicuous was his advice! Jim

    In USA politics, basically, Republican's are "Tory's" & Democrat's are "Labour" ("ish", mid-left is more correct I believe). Jim

    Thanks for the encouragement; I have renewed it from the library & will probably commence sometime mid - end of may; just need a complete change now; Rankin, Pratchett or Niffenegger? Decisions; decisions! Jim

    You were right; bang on in fact; the young ones arrive 1st; as you always said, "how come all the bad things happen to the nice people"?.. Only 'down there my son; only down there'! Anyway; how come it took you 60 years to get here? That tell you something does it? Anyway; welcome to eternal reality!..... Jim

    Commencing part two of Northern Lights. Could this trilogy be as good as the Harry Potter books? May well be! Jim.

    Just finished '1984'. Stunned / staggered at the parrallels I can draw as I genuinely work for a 'control freak' & 'mental bully'. Jim
