You know, that’s got me thinking.
I’ve just got a documentary on, that I recorded last night: Richard Hammond’s giving us a rough guide on how to build a universe.
He’s just described some galaxies as ‘lens-shaped’.
Which got me thinking one thing.
How on EARTH do you describe that shape to a child … ?
Which got me wondering. Apart from saying it’s the same shape as a Minstrel, I’m blowed if I could think of anything.
Let me know if you get any ideas … !
Let’s move on …

Good luck with that, Paul. I'd love to get your thoughts about the UK's National Health system sometime.
We have a health care crisis in the US, and I'm curious about how other countries deal with their health care issues.
