In a more political/humourous vein, surely you meant to
"refer the honorable member (well his post count is massive) to your reponse to an earlier but related question (piece of drivel) of his" :)

Well, it wasn't too bad, but I thought some of he tricks were rather mundane. Not quite, ah, that's how they do it...

like knitting:When working towards a specific number of rows or stitches (e.g., "knit 17 stitches"), count backwards. Then you don't have to remember where to stop: the end is always zero.

Gripping stuff :rolleyes: :D

Gripping stuff :rolleyes: :DHow about: "If your rooster is waking you too early, try bedded him down in a cage where he can't stand on his tippy toes. To crow, a rooster needs to arch his neck while standing up." Now thats interesting. :D

"If you're going to go wandering in the woods with a map and compass, it is always useful to identify a "safety bearing" -- that is, a bearing that anyone can follow towards safety.

For example, if the area you'll be exploring is to the west of a North/South highway, you know you can walk eastward if you get lost and eventually you'll hit that road. And even if you lose your map and compass, you can still tell where East/West are from the rising/setting of the sun respectively.

There is almost always some sort of feature on the ground that allows for this.".........and thats useful :)

If you PM me your address, I'll send you a copy of my local telephone directory. I'm sure you'll find that interesting and useful as well :D
