Well it seems its rubbing off. When I arrived home tonight the SWMBO announced proudly that there was a question on Millionaire tonight to which the answer was "Waxing Gibbous" and she kinew the the answer!
Makes one all teary eyed and emotional that 3-4 years of me prattling on about matter astronomical, she has actually learned something!

Well done, Malcolm. Especially with Waxing Gibbous.

That would be like me correctly answering a question about football.
So I know where she's coming from. Feeling very chuffed I bet.
You must be so proud.

Was the question "What's another term for a bunch of apes polishing a car?"

And when the apes get tired and start slacking off?...............a waning gibbous!

And if they start complaining?............a whining gibbous!

Well I'm one ahead of you, I have appeared on crimestoppers! In one of my past careers I was a bank officer and happened to be in a tellers box during a hold up about 20 years ago. They got an actor in to play me in the Crimestoppers piece. Not sure who played me, but Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford both auditioned
