Nope Nope

NO ONE GOING FOR THIS ONE? OKAY, HERE IS ONE LAST PHOTO CONNECTION IF NO ONE GUESSES BY TOMORROW 6PM I WILL POST ANSWER.

If it is any help I voiced concerns, this year, about the cul-de-sac school traffic where I live - and it was to NCC that I had to send my concerns. I did eventually get a reply and they said they would monitor it. But the first time I did this - many years earlier - a councillor rounded on me at a neighbourhood watch meeting for not contacting him first. He was shot down in flames by a lovely wpc. But the point I am trying to make is that sometimes they don't seem to know who is in charge. (Passing the buck is still a favoured game.)

You think you have trouble with chips. This chimp was trying to pinch mine.

BREAKING NEWS A mudslide in Oklahoma has demolished a refrigerator assembly factory, carrying away some of the goods. The Oklahoma police are on the lookout for a slurry with a fridge on top.

On a solemn note could you all put your hands together and say a prayer for the gentleman who died at the bingo hall last night. The police aren't treating it as suspicious; they just reckon his number was up. On a similar but seperate incident another gentleman died at the casino yesterday. Again the police aren't looking for anyone in connection, they reckon he just cashed in his chips.

Have you got a description of this person?

YOU VARMINTS HAVIN' TROUBLE WITH THIS ONE? WELL MAYBE THIS WILL JOLT THE CAULIFLOWER IN YOR SKULLS.

I will certainly attempt to. I fancy the lumbago ...er...limbo dancing but I'm not wearing dreadlocks! There's nowt more ridiculous than a white guy in dreadlocks. (I saw the Salvation Army venue, but what's this Station one, I'll check announcements again?) Can I come as Yosemite Sam?

I'm overcome with emulsion.

I went to the pub this afternoon and saw a line of blondes standing in the street. i asked this guy what what it was about and he said it was a barbie queue; so I got to the pub and there's this girl called Anna on the stage stripping. I asked my mate why and he said she was an Anna Gram; so I went to the bar and there were two identical Roman gladiators standing; someone had ordered a double maximus. So I ordered my beer and sat at the bar and the guy next to me was oozing alcohol from every pore - I thought 'he's had a skinful'. At the end of the night I went to the new Chinese takeaway owned by a rodent - the Mouse of the Rising Sun it's called, and then I went home and as I walked through the door there were the two Abba girls cleaning the cat's litter tray; apparently they had started their own business up - Super Trouper Pooper Scoopers. So I went to bed and as I was dozing over I began to thinks of licquorice allsorts and white mice and midget gems - sweet dreams are made of this I thought. Then in the early hours of the morning I was woken by William Shakespeare in my back garden with a bucket and spade - then I remembered, the early bard gets the worm.

It's an escaped battleship from a monopoly board.

I'll make enquiries at my end and post any news on here. Thanks for being a good'un, most people ignore such things.

A rodent has just taken over the local take-away. It's now called the Mouse of the Rising Sun.

OKAY, PROSPECTORS, I'LL TRY TO MAKE THEM HARDER. ROLL YOUR EYEBALLS OVER THESE NUGGETS

Yeah, Keith, I know those ones - but you put High School' - It is the Woody School. Back row left to right is Baz, Dennis Tydeman, (?) (?) Stew Dobson (?) Jimmy Mitchell, Keith Morris (I think) Front row is left to right is (?) Neil Watson, Gordon Bowron, Stew Ross, Steven Surtees, Steven Johnson (?) I should be on there, as well as Colin Crocker and Dennis Cunningham - we were all team regulars - but somehow we are not - baffling THE WHITLEY ONE. Back row L-R - Matty 'George Clooney' Hall - (?) Phil Temple Middle row L-R - (Keith) Oliver, Laurence Cummings, (?) (?) Stew Dobson. Front Row L-R - Rob Lee, (?) Derek Wilkinson, Neil Watson, (?) (?) (?) Now what amazes me is that Neil Watson is on the Whitley Memorial photo- because he was a station lad - Grange Park methinks. And once again I should have been on that photo. Where am I? is this a conspiracy to wipe all memory of me off the globe!!!

DOC HOLLIDAY IT IS - FOURGEE Well done. I've just finished reading a book about the tooth puller. He really did live up to his legend. Okay, Varmints, I'll just have to make them harder. But I've got a passel of decorating to do inbetween. You all watch this space now.

It does tell you to hold it above your head Symptoms!! But I didn't do it!! (Is stupidity part of growing old because I must be in for a gold medal for being a moron.) I read something about the NASA photos on my homepage. But I'm in the middle of decorating at the moment and didn't have time to read it. I'll have a look later. The moon has been brilliant the last few nights so I've been concentrating on that. It really fascinates me.

I've just watched a Clint Eastwood western. He rode into town on a bucket. The film was called PAIL RIDER.

Hi Symptoms, I hunted out the planisphere and looked at it better. The problem I was having was in the directional settings. The instructions were telling me to co-ordinate the time and date - No probs - but then it was telling me to align the S (South) to the South. But when I did this the Eastern horizon was to the West. (Do you understand?) So what I did last night is what you are saying - find a constellation and work your way around the sky via that. I did it with Cassiopia - then found Orion - then SHOULD have found the Pleiades - but couldn't. By this time the brass monkeys were calling it a night. I have an added problem. I wear varifocals - but for distance. If I put them on I can see the stars - then I take them off to look through my bins and lose the position in the sky. It sounds silly but unfortunately it's true. I have this old saying where astronomy is concerned - if you stand in your garden at midnight with a telescope - people look out their window and say "Oh look, Keith's taken up astronomy." Stand in your garden at midnight with a pair of binoculars and you have to explain to the police that you are not a peeping tom. Lucky enough the neighbours in my cul-de-sac all know I am a stargazer. The other problem, though, is security lights!!!! Every house has them. You step outside and it is like a floodlit stadium and if the cats follow me out you might as well be in a disco. Not to worry. The moon and Jupiter are out again and it is clear skies, apart from fireworks. The moon fascinates me - Aldrin said it right - magnificent desolation.

Here are two more photos given to me by Stew Dobson. One is the Whitley Memorial football team 1967-68. The other is the 'Woody' School football team - I would say 1969. The annoying thing is that I am not on any - and I did play for both schools. I know some of the people but not all, so If anybody can put names to them I'd be obliged .

OKAY VARMINTS TRY THESE DUDES

I know, an own goal on my part, Foxy. But I took one for the team and the street and its residents are safe now. Anyway, it was the National Grid, not the cooncil. They started a tennis match going, you know what I mean - lobbing the 'blame ball' back over the net - It's not our fault it's theirs. So my sacrifice to astronomy is the peeps gain. Maybe they'll name a star cluster or a new planet after me - or a black hole.

Thanks Symptoms, I actually have a Philips Planisphere and Moonmap (the moon was my first fascination and still is.) But either I am thick (probable) or I am reading the planisphere wrong but I can't work it out properly. (I'm also in the middle of house refurbishment so everything is packed away. My Bins are 12X50 and I know what you mean about handshakes. I actually rest my elbows on the door jam. When the moon is out and the sky is clear I can get some great views of Kepler, Copernicus & Aristarchus. (So bright, like a beacon on the moon) I focused on the Pleiades one night and was nearly knocked backwards by the clarity. Orion, too. But the cul-de-sac where I live has about six lamposts in close proximity and I only have a narrow window in which to view the sky to a degree of clearness. As I mentioned before, there are not a great deal of good 'night sky' sites online. I'm a beginner, to a degree, and I just want someone to say, yes, that is Jupiter and that is Uranus, etc. I was up at 4 am one morning after letting one of the cats out and the sky was crystal clear, amazing. I appreciate any help or hints you can give, Cheers.

Geronimo is correct. They all played Apache Indians. Well done Malcolm.
