  1. I shee the wororld froo beer goggles. Hic.
  2. I *so* want one of those! Anybody read the Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde? The heroine lives on an old moored-up Sunderland. Way cool! Sorry, back to your previously scheduled programme . . .
  3. Steed. John Steed. (What, there are other Avengers? Surely not!)
  4. Further to the subject of this thread, and consequently moving it farther along, if you are a father, have a happy day! If you're not, then I wish you another year free from the unexpected phone call that starts "Hello, are you . . . dad?" and ends in poverty.
  5. It's worth learning how to interpret TAFs and METARS, partly because it gives you yelling rights at that idiot forecaster on the telly ("But the TAF's predicting hurricane-force winds at 3pm, you moron!!!") The codes are fairly simple and you'll quickly learn that something like TEMPO 1320/1322 1/2SM +TSRA OVC004CB means "the airport is temporarily closed." (On the 13th, between 20 zulu and 22 zulu (8pm-10pm UTC) expect ½ statute mile visibility, heavy thunderstorms and rain, and thunder clouds (cumulonimbus = CB) down to 400ft)
