Hey you Brits, don't just visit, sign up.

I could have said 'Poms' but you might have mistaken me for Antipodean.

This is a new, fun and interesting site offering us the opportunity to share the experiences of 'like minded folk' with that lump of sky we never see from the UK

'Radar' is very obliging and helpfull to site virgins.
'Astro Dave' hasn't travelled much, so be gentle.

Sign up, it's got to be easy, I managed.

I second that Gyro! :thumbsupmate:

Hey Radar,
Thanks for the Mercural promotion !!

[Astro Dave]

Very good advertisement gyro to get your fellow countrymen (and women() onto the forum. It would be good for us to swap ideas and suggestions, the good thing being that here there is no animosity, overt criticism or heavy moderation.

Radar can be brutal at times but we've learned to handle that. (here's a few more pills Radar, now go away!)

All you have to remember is not to tell us how to play cricket.

Oh, by the way, I nelly (sic) forgot: Do you really see Orion upside down there?

Why on earth would I tell you guys how to play cricket, I wouldn't want to give you an unfair advantage !!

What onion ??

[gyro]

Hi Phoenix, That will be a Southern Latitude then !!
Dare I ask what LMAO is, I hope I don't regret it.

[Radar]

What onion ??

lol. :lmao:

[Astro Dave]

OK, OK, no-one else wants a go so I guess I'm the bunny who's gonna tell gyro what LMAO means. Thanks guys, Sheesh!

gyro, It's a naughty word from Phoenix which means "Laugh My Arse Off'. This is the new slang we're seeing today from young whippersnappers like Phoenix who 'push the envelope' with us old guys on the forum.

Lmgdao Now Dave :lmao:

[gyro]

Thanks Dave,
And here is me thinking it was "Liverpool Merseyside Astronomy.org" ala my other thread.
Don't even bother with "Lmgdao". I am happy in my ignorance.

[Astro Dave]

OK gyro ... I'm happy with that. Whew!! The second one from that getting naughtier phoenix would have been a doozie.
(young people can be so cruel gyro)

lol, that is a ten out of ten for creativity Gyro :thumbsupmate:

Dave, I absolutely agree with your comments re: NGC 4649, having recently arrived at the same result myself. I guess you could say Virgo has always held a facination for me. I have the feeling that graviity assist is involved.
