Uh Oh, I now see Kal has already posted something about it.
I looked for other threads before posting this, but didn't see it then.:rolleyes:

Perhaps we can get rid of Kal's thread and use mine instead purely on the grounds that mine is more colourful and has bouncing smileys. :P :lol:

I tried to delete this thread but it appears I can no longer do that. :shrug:

I'm happy to use your thread Suzy although I'm a little sad that I'm actually older that the Parkes Radio Telescope!!! :rofl:

Oh goody, I have a taker for my thread - good on you, Mario! :lol:

Oh my, if you are older than Parkes, then you must have some fantastic memories on some of it's achievements- the moon for one! :eyepop:

I'm only one year older mind you!!!

Memories...yes, I remember the nuns at St. Thomas Mores at Brighton-Le-Sands in Sydney herding us into a room to watch the Moon landing on the TV. A wonderful memory...
