It had a great supporting cast, chilli chutney & Spanish brandy

This makes more sense now as I initially read it as CHESS board...

Not everybody here is old enough to remember the Cosmos series with Carl Sagan, but it was a seminal piece of work for the time. I was listening to a programme about him and this was mentioned. It still gives me goose bumps 45 years on.

If ever a man spoke the truth, it was C S in The Pale Blue Dot.

Had a great night out yesterday with friends and relatives. Some I haven’t seen for 3 years.
Had a few beers had a good catch up and put the world to rights.
Simple things are often the most rewarding

I won top of year for both mathematics and biology in my 1st (or 2nd ) year at uni (smug)...and I was able to choose a book as the prize for each. For mathematics I chose Cosmos off the back of watching the TV series. Still have it...of course.

Worth having a contingency plan for ferry cancellation as they happen quite frequently with that ferry....and Ardrossan isn't the best placer to be finding decent accommodation any short notice.

No 'top of year' for English though?

Best arrangement I came across was a full length mirror on a bathroom door enabling you to watch telly from the bath, with speakers in the bathroom.
