Hey there! Long time, no see.
I do pop in occasionally - hope all is well!
Well, hello!
And from Scotland, too.
Just don't tell me you play the bagpipes. We had a busker playing them in the main street the other day. I did enquire if I could pay him to stop.
I always find that attitude hilarious - that humans need the guidance of an invisible entity to display morality.
While 99% of jail inmates are religious...
Feel free to remain completely incorrect then.
Atheists have only one common ground - a lack of belief in god/s. To assume they have anything else in common, be it morality or worldview, is both...
There were a lot more people around then, too!
Look on the bright side - fewer drinking the good stuff.
Cheers!
You're not going to get any argument from me!

Long time, no post...
I've asked Parker to set up the Laphroaig, and he tells me the bar is fully stocked for any tasteless people for whom the holy nectar isn't enough.
Anyone still come here?...
No, even a planet 10X larger than Earth would be a midget against Jupiter and its gravitational impact would be negligible, which is why it's been hiding for so long.
The planets we do know about...
His official goodbye album, it turns out.
For anyone who hasn't seen it, Bowie's single, Lazarus, says it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JqH1M4Ya8

That sounds remarkably like how I feel.
Given Texas' reintroduction of open carry, there's no doubt on that one.
Some astronomers in our South Island got a much longer session than they expected at Mt St John Observatory:...
We haven't seen any of that series, cricket coverage being limited to the appallingly inept Sri Lankan side.
Between them and the Windies, we're running out of good sides.
Hey there Mick!
Yes, a magnificent innings. Second fastest double ton ever. A record held by a New Zealander, I believe.
Veuve Cliquot on the way.
Nebulae and planets, mostly. The prettiest bits, which is all any shop-bought amateur scope is good for. The moon is really cool through a good 'scope as well.
I'm inheriting $350,000,000 from...
Almost!
Well, almost exactly opposite London on the globe. I'm down t'other end. NZ.
Cheers!
A couple of bits that may already be under discussion:
The Japan probe to Venus is finally in orbit - 5 years late.
and the LISA Pathfinder, about to prove gravitational theories.

Hey! Seen and sasquatch lately?
I'll dial you up a beer while I try to figure where the heck Parker got to.
Nice to see you - looks like it's been awful quiet in here.
An astronomy thread?
Why didn't someone tell me?
Serious amateur astronomer for about 40 years. I'll be checking back to see what's been going on.
Eh oop! Anyone still here?
The beer's flat, the wine was left uncorked and I can't find Parker anywhere...
There have been many questions over Orwell's veracity in Down & Out, but thanks to the dedication of Dr Luke Seaber of University College London has provided 100% sound evidence to back up Orwell's...
Sorry, but not possible at all. The idea could work, but Orwell was very clear about what he was saying.
Are you sure you're right with that?
I don't really see a marked decline in the abilities of kids now compared to the 1960s, '70s, '80s or '90s.
We had plenty of Dumbos in those days as well....
Happy birthday!
I hear sales of chocolate stout are up this week.
Cheers!
Oh yeah, I'll play!
