Amazing the amount of windage on even the lightest wire, will need to be a pretty still day.

Gareth's stupid ideas number #87123676234 may be coming to a band near you tomorrow afternoon - unless it crashes, which it probably will

Planetary parade 2026: Six planets visible in night sky Six planets - Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune - will all be visible in the night sky.

Wish they'd stop writing this cobblers... most of the planets are much too close to the sun and will have set before it's dark. Jupiter is high in the sky... has been for months and good luck finding Uranus unless you're good with star charts www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
