    One of my favourite bits of holidaying down your way is how dark it is at night and how many more stars you can see.

    And even better in house no.2, where the housing density is even lower, and many/most villages are turning off the lights after bedtime.

    I have probably ony been somewhere "proper" dark once and it is an incredible sight

    If you're using a normal PC hit ctrl+a (select all) it'll show the little "X" on the line. Lot easier than wafting the mouse around 😉

    Ah, even better.

    Finding out how to delete drafts on this forum.

    Does it work on a phone?

    Also, does anyone know how to stop your own posts showing as being new, unread posts?

    I think this one is phone related as it started when I changed phone but now when I hit quote it doesn’t take me to the text box and looks like nothing happened so I hit quote again with the same result and when I eventually look at the text box there are multiple quotes there.
    I think this has randomly stopped today. Sure was irritating..

    I'm in a miserable mood but at least I am posting the fastest times I've done since I moved to Cambridge on my bike consistently.

    Nice to be fit enough that I can have a bit of fun on the bike without immediately being ruined by the first full on effort.

    I wouldn't want it due to weight and lack of efficiency but this is a thing of beauty.


    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    It's probably your best chance of getting a few likes. Most people rely on quality of posting ;)
