Polly is adorably cute (or is that cutely adorable) in that final photograph. If you let us know your address, we could send her some clothes so she doesn't have to wear recycled plastic bags with "keep out of reach of children" written on them.

Hard News: So long, and thanks for all…, in reply to Gary Young,
After all, by implication, it suggests the views and beliefs of those who voted for them can be similarly denigrated.
Just because one voted Green, doesn't mean one supports their so-called "loony" (ie non-evidence based) policy. For years their anti-GMO was a show-stopper for me. But after "loony" (ie non-evidence based) policy from other parties surpassed that of the Greens, it made the Greens more attractive to me.
I wish a lot more people would use the policy comparison tools before the election to actually determine which party most closely aligned to their actual ideology.

Hmm. I'm not sure that trusting Outlook or Gmail with Certificates and keys is any advantage - the NSA is already likely to have them in their pocket.

Is this build into any email clients ? If not, why not ?

Southerly: My Life As a Palm Tree, in reply to Steve Barnes,
We used to do that on sand dunes. The angle of a sand dune is fairly constant at between 30 and 35 degrees. So, you run as fast as you can and leap over the edge in the most spectacular fashion. The faster you ran the further out you would go and the further you would drop, hundreds of feet it seemed at the time, then tuck into a roll as you hit then roll down to the flat
We used to do that off the bank into the gulley at Westmere Primary school. It is an amazingly exhilarating thing to do. Almost like flying. It built up over a number of days until there were only two of us left who were willing to run full tilt at the top of this bank and launch ourselves up and out to land about 12' down rolling the remaining 3 or 4 foot to the bottom. Luckily for us we never got further than that.
Turns out Michael Tolley wanted to be stuntman when he grew up as well.

Oooo ! Can we have half time scores as well ?

I was expecting the results to be in the form of rugby scores rather than percentages.
