    Osama bin laden dead!!!

    It will make sod all difference, you've just killed the press officer of an international organisation end of. Do you really think the militants will say "oh well it was good while it lasted, but we can go home now". Look up delusional in the dictionary.

    Ack! Bolt just spins! Help!!

    Beware of Horses

    Horses are often out and about in the countryside, even on 60mph roads like this one. Usually they are a bit more "stable". Was a lovely day after heavy rain earlier, back to cold and damp again now. Was only about 6'C/43F
