Default What a lovely surprise!

I got home today to check my emails, to find a message from a mob called, "Rainy day magazine."

They saw fit to publish my observatory in their media. http://www.rainydaymagazine.com/RDM2...rysObservatory

I am chuffed to bits!

Baz.

It appears that editing caused the abbreviated form of the URL to
replace the full URL. The abbreviation is just for human readability.

Or corn starch.

Congrats, bloodhound31! Nice rig.

There's something ironic about an astronomical observatory being featured in something called "Rainy Day Magazine".

Clear, dark skies!

Not really. If it wasn't raining you'd be observing, not reading.

Doesn't "chuffed to bits" equate to "ran over by a train"?
