    So who's gettin up at dawn tomorrow to watch this historical astronomical event.

    I'm setting up a telescope in her back garden so she can look directly at it and fully enjoy this momentous occasion.

    Why's it called the "transit"? Why not just "Venus going in front of the sun"? I have a good mind to report this to the Plain English Campaign.

    And this coming from somebody who complains when somebody else uses a dozen words when none would have been better.

    I actually said a thousand.

    1000 - 0
    7 - 4

    Bit of a difference there methinks.

    He wouldn't - because he claims not to be pathetic - and as I am on his ' bad **** ' list what else can he expect from me - if you call me a ****, you shouldn't be surprised or upset if I act like one.
