    Anyone who visits this page is obliged to invent a swearword and write it here. I shall begin:

    "Pempcoddler!"

    Andrew...I see that Lisa is prominent on the horizon and a distinguished lady. I didn't know this. I see from wiki., that she's been Chairman of the Board at Westminster City School....that's where my nephew graduated from, last year. and my younger nephew is following in his footsteps from Sept. this year.

    Name dropping a bit more, I gather that Leo Tolstoy's great-grand daughter, went to this school too. Pretty lady too.

    Hi Andrew....
    No, I did not know Mr Bronowski. Although like yourself, watched his hypnotic Ascent of Man, with more than keen interest. I am glad to know that his daughter was your teacher. Where was this?

    Life On Earth is a fine documentary...all Attenborough stuff is enthralling.

    I am not familiar with Ken Burns' works, must acquaint myself, ....but I recall, Russell Baker, being involved in a documentary about it. Or could have been about Native Americans. I am fuzzy on this.

    I like, admire, cherish Russell Baker's writings.

    Yes, I meant the magnigficient Wallace Monument.

    and yes, it's my real name too. named after an Elephant's father...Shiva...Creator of the Universe. Apparently. Some would believe. I do not know/or have met anybody by this name. Though there's is a fantastic tennis player by the same name....specialises in doubles and mixed doubles. won Wimbledon doubles thrice.

    The Wallace statue? It may be true but I am only repeating hearsay...

    Nice to be acquainted! Is your Username your real name? It sounds south Asian (India etc.).

    It's cool!

    I like a person, who can quote Bronowski!

    Glad to make your acquaintance AndrewJ.

    errrr...about Mel Gibson and Braveheart?!....
    I hope that comment of yours is tongue-in-cheek!

    Yonder is Dubhe seen on Earth tonight as it was in the days of Grover Cleveland's presidency whereas this way is Deneb seen as it was in the lifetime of Muhammed . If one somehow travelled to Deneb at very close to c then whenever you looked back you'd measure Earth as closer to you than the distance you would simultaneously measure between Earth and Dubhe.
