Well thanks for that, Gromit, now we'll all be doing even less work!!!!

'Ello, 'ello.

1) Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness. Admittedly you have others but this is not a good one.

2) Stupid no youtube at work!

3) I rarely think.

[China Doll]

I don't get it.

And the explanation is too jumpy on this 'puter.

The bottom lip is starting to come out and there is danger of a stamped foot. The dummy is already on the other side of the room.

In other words...

HELP ME!

[BillyBB]

Thanks.

[China Doll]

I would have preferred an explanation as opposed to stars!

Honestly... some people!

well, I can see China Doll's stars okay, but too much light pollution to see anything in the sky. So this is quite a useful service. I once camped out in the Syrian desert miles from anywhere and the night sky was amazing - several shooting stars before I dropped off. Further research in the Australian outback and remote Pacific islands has confirmed this.

However, anyone using Google to see constellations should remind themselves, and any passing astrologer, that constellations do not exist - they're just random arrangements of stars zillions of light years apart that seem to take a certain shape seen from Google but would be non-existent seen from elsewhere in the universe.

Ooh, China Doll, I can see Uranus.

Grom's fault for going up the ginnel again.

Nope. Can't believe I wrote that either.

Bah... balls of gas... I wasn't that interested any way...
