   That's Red Suare Barnsley, in which Captain Kirk is seen, briefly, before a silhouetted pithead and Mr. Spock looks quizzical beside a line of police vans. Noice!

   well it knocks a glass box into an kicked hat.

   That seems a strangely tortuous expression now that I've typed it. Have I got it right?

   A cut and paste from that website:

   
   At the center, mass is funneled onto the embryonic star, while "eddies" and 'clumps' circling further out in the disk are the seeds which will grow into planets, moons and asteroids.

   
   how'ds that feel?! And who's clumps?!!

   I just ended up in September again...

   Anybody remember the email address?

   John H -

   ohlookseptemberagain@hotmail.com

   Spooky that! One minute I was reading about temperature C vs F on the previous thread and then I was back on the "Weather" thread in September - took me a minute to cotton on!

   I've emailed 'em

   AA -
   I thought it was cocked, though kicked would possibly have the same effect.

   admin annie - Hahahaha . It's "knocked into a cocked hat" but your version is much,much better!

   It is a beautiful image, but speaking as a techno-phobe, I wonder how ''true'' the image is, and how much the true image has been distorted by the very technology used to capture it. Is this an imponderable question?

    Ta RJD. Seeing the hotmail account does make me wonder if it's a joke though!

    It's lovely! And as a technoneophyte, I don't mind if it's been digitally enhanced, photoshopped or just plain tweaked. Though John H's question is relevant, of course.

    RJD (8), I agree, AAnnie's version is great. But watch your words or you'll get EdI all excited again (see yesterday's posts about farmyard fowl)

    I got modded off a discussion on the 'today' discussions for saying 'cock pheasant'. You couldn't make it up!

    Just lovely. I know it sounds obvious, but isn't the internet a brilliant thing. Just a few years ago, an item like that would probably have been thought a bit pointless on radio - but now we can all (well, the 75% of us with broadband, anyway) go and see the image for ourselves.

    WW - you are right, thanks. It was one of those moments when you know you've got it wrong, but can't bring to mind what the right version is.

    Although looking at it now, I quite like it.

    I too was just Septembered and have e-mailed the appropriate address.

    peacedove , Ed I. Tried to cut & paste the graphic/icon from the Today programme board, but it didn't work.

    How silly and over-sensitive some people can be over harmless things.

    It's called the countryside, sillies! And I speak as a townie who comes from centuries of farming folk on both sides of the family.

    Rachel, I agree. Whoopee for multimedia, at this level, anyway.

    Can anyone tell me what the thing is about September? I tried to show SO the lovely Red Square on his Blackberry in bed last night (sad life we lead, I know) and we were back in Spetember too. Am I mad, in a coma ...

    Rachel (18), no, you're not mad or in a coma (in this respect, anyway ;o)) as far as I can make out we do this zingy back in time thing periodically. Marc (the New Blog Prince) is trying to work out why but hasn't got there yet. He has asked for e-mails when it does and the hotmail address is on the right.

    Val P (21),

    Our stupid yap-yap machines (Jack Russels) aren't able to take the pheasants on, and the pheasants seem to know it. They respect each other by keeping a couple of watchful meters apart. We also have .

    I wouldn't keep pets at all if it was up to me. I prefer wildlife to livestock. So much so that I distribute a half tonne of food every year.

    Now Ed I, that's fascinating, so you must have seen one of my posts (re feeding pheasants at the back door) or you wouldn't be replying to it would you? So did it appear, then get modded off? Why am I bothering to grow paranoid?

    Partly because we are, bizarrely enough, also having a problem with our Royal Mail deliveries. 4 items (that we specifically know about) have not arrived, over the last 3 weeks. Customer Services (grrrr) say that doesn't consitute an abnormal occurrence! I pointed out to them that as far as we can remember, during 25 years of living here we haven't had this problem at all, and so 4 items going walkabout in 3 weeks, is way beyond the realms of coincidence!!!
