Quite probably one in one of my very own programs. I am fascinated by Sun and Moon and made some Visual Basic programs that track the sun and moon across the sky, either as little icons that move on top (Z dimension) of your other open windows, or as a picture, or as digits. A parameter file...

Scariest dream was in the early 1980s when being nuked seemed a real threat. Four minute warning had gone, my little Cornish village was going to get it. We all got in the car wanting to drive away - and FAST - although it would be futile. Dad wouldn't start the car until my kid brother had...

Errr... can I watch it on 2x speed then and have a break every 4 hours for a pee? And whose gonna feed me pizza while I am engrossed, you? ;-)

I use chess.com but don't have an account and just play the bots. On a good day I can beat a 1400 but I can equally lose to a 800

If you guys fancy a laugh, there was an episode of The Incredible Hulk which borrowed heavily off Duel, it was called "Never give a trucker an even break". I found it brilliant and naff in equal measure

OMG that was a great movie. I was transfixed as a teenager. So many unanswered questions. And hell did they pick a badass looking truck for the "bad guy"

Devil's Advocate, what would be a better alternative?

I'm late to the party as usual, so sorry I have not fully read all the informative posts. But I'd like to put my view up here and see how folks respond. I've already posted this view on another forum. Background: Until around Nov 7 I was strongly democrat (even as a UK citizen) === I am actually...
