Thanks to their active involvement on the Universe Today forums, I've added three new moderators:

- Dippy Hippy
- Matthew
- Planetwatcher

They've all been subscribers to Universe Today for years and all around supportive of the website and really active in the forum. So, I thought I'd reward them with a little power.

So, thank them in advance for the great work they're going to do keeping our little community safe and sound.

Nah, I'm too honest for that *cough*

Of course, if you were really smart, you'd have written your post to make it seem as though I was a big fat poo poo head, because I am.

Quote Kashi "Who drinks Tooheys Light?"

This delightful ale, refreshing to the palate after an hours bask in the NSW sun, is unfortunately little known in Mexico.

That's why they are always inside - tapping away on their computers - keeping warm.

Try visiting sunny Coffs Harbour NSW - (officially) "The Most Liveable Town in the World" - wouldn't swap it for Victoria; or Canada for that matter (although Canada is very beautiful, I believe, if you can stand the cold).

LOL Chook

I *only* post when I'm at work... I work nights from 9pm to 6:30am, 4 nights on, 4 nights off. This is night 4 so now I'm off until Sunday 14th...

Woohoo!!!

I have it on good authority that Josh doesn't work.

Hah! If you think that riding around on a scooter and parking it and leaving it there and reading books in book shops or going to the movies isn't work then FINE! I don't know what is!

And Tooheys Light isn't well known down here because we aren't **** weak light beer drinkers.

You would drink VB, wouldn't you?

On the subject of VB, would anyone know the stars with the clasification VB, I think they are Brown Dwarfs and earlier contenders for Exoplanets ???

I do. That's why I'm lagging behind the other moderators in postings. But then if you were to ask my wife, I'm a lazy SOB who is always on the computer.
Or ask my boss, and she will tell you that if I could work as fast as I can calculate planet positions, she could afford to lay of 2 or 3 people. On the other hand my union calls that job security and strongly encourage me to continue to persue my field of interests.

Naughty Zephr46 talking politics ....

But, nah ..., I think I'd rather Spot Destroyer than the d'head who nicked the Libs' 5 bottles of wine. Ha! Then going off on Health Leave. Must'a been good wine!

(This is a Aussie In-Joke fellas ...)
