    I still want to read it, not just being polite :)

    I trust your word far too much to think that, Ed, seriously :)

    I worked on medical and recipes.

    Loving the detail on the extra income and OPs, you're a role model, you know :j

    Actually :D I *do* envy Generation X, Y, whatever, because they'll (hopefully) get to see more of the restart in the space programme. I can't help it, I want science fiction to become reality :D


    According to our guide at Kennedy Space Center, they're hoping for manned flights to Mars within 20 years. I intend sticking round for that!

    I used to belong to the Mars Society - there was a lot of talk about one way trips, i.e. dying out there, thereby adding to the organic mix of the Martian soil :) I suspect that was one idea for the idealists behind sending John Glenn back up when he was 75 :p

    I think DD and DS would be quite happy to live with us and their families in one big family jumble. Sometimes I think 'ah, how lovely' and others 'aaaagggghhhhh'

    Top tip - leave the country ;).
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hi Ed. Is there a way to private message you on here? I know that you have made some long term investments for your daughter and I wondered if I could pick your brains. Apologies - I know the info is in this forum somewhere but I'm struggling to find it! Many thanks
