I've just realised I've hit the "500" post mark; apparently I have spoken a lot in the last 7 months.

I'm celebrating; I will find any excuse to have a glass of wine

(or 3).
It's been a real pleasure hanging around you all and getting to know many of you'll. I have learned so much here in the last seven months due to the contributions of so many on here - and you guys make Astrononomy so much fun too! I have made some special friends here too- you know who you are I'm sure, and not to forget Ron (my mentor- whether he wants that title or not from me

).
