Hard News: Belief Media, in reply to Sacha,
O, I liked Peter! He was modest, never stood on his dignity. And we shared tobacco a couple of times (he was a pipe smoker.)
Walking backwards into the future is a widespread Polynesian idea – you can know your past, you cant know your future…the olds also had a pretty good idea about genetics inasmuch that many chiefly marriages were organised along ‘good-breeding’ lines…
Have not ignored your earlier request Sacha - just trying to find it...

May I ask, as someone who is quite hand-oriented, if the Sharp friend is aware of how extremely unusual her hand is?

O dear goodness! so would I!
The link has eaten quite a lot of my broadband download allowance - but we shall
continue to explore.
Thanks for it! (First time I've seen Feynman in the flesh - jittery speaker eh? But wholly good-)Just incidentally, the olds had some really interesting ideas - before corruption arrived. Some stuff got preserved in the South (and, shitodearNO! I am not talking Barry Brailsford's creative stupidities!)

Hard News: Belief Media, in reply to Pete,
<q> shall be having a quiet shiraz.*
I was truly pissed off at that – after driving for over half an hour to the nearest liquor & Lotto outlet on Friday – they had all drinks covered over. And no Lotto. That meant another hour’s driving on Saturday, to get what I should always be able to buy without some christian vindictiveness getting in the way.
Couldnt get my 85yr old mother her ginger wine on Friday – phuque ‘em.It is the extraordinary assumption – despite all evidence to the contrary- that ANZ is a “Christian” country. Hasnt actually EVER been-
