I was fortunate enough to watch the very first episode of Dr Who. I was kneeling on the sofer, watching the reflection of the telly, in the window. I could avoid watching the scary bits. Scared the b'jesus, out of me.

That's two diffraction gratings, rotated 90 degrees, to each other.

I was in my mid 40's, I was typing and email. One of the D.Phil. students looked over my shoulder and said, you could have easily taken a Physics degree and probably a D.Phil. there's lots support for Dyslexia. Up until then I hadn't even considered it.

Can't help thinking there's truth here. Until you respect yourself, you won't respect others.
We can’t fix education without fixing parenting. Teachers are burned out because too many children are showing up without the respect & discipline that should start at home. Until we hold parents accountable, the “teacher shortage’ will only worsen.

When dignitaries sign documents, they usually use a fountain pen, or at least a posh Biro. Trump uses a magic marker, one up from a red crayon, I suppose!

Well, you can't please all of the people, all of the time. Good effort tho', I'm with you, unfortunately I live in the Dreaming Spires, so not a lot of beach.

That's what techies are for. I'm always trying to think up new demonstrations and equipment.

To be fair, it doesn't say 'this way up' and the instructions were translated from Chinese.
