surarbeast are you for real? the sun? have you never looked into the night sky? answers werent asked for ....just questions but i will give the answer anyway. it is the great nebula in andromeda also known as M31 after some frog astronomer. ( messier) it is approx 300million light years away and in good lighting conditions ( no street light glare etc ) is visible at this time of year almost directly overhead. it appears as a faint milky disc with an apparent size equal to that of the moon. you need GOOD eyesight and conditions to see it without optical aids.

obviously a supernova at a greater distance would be visible but does not fit the criteria of the question.

incidentally the star of bethlehem is thought to have been a supernova

I've been asked to set a fairly tough quiz.

has anybody got any questions i can ask ?

Around here, Pikeys drive around in large four wheel drives, normally Shoguns and Mercedes cars.

They usually do something in the country! Its all a bit of a mystery.

The acid test is whether they know their horse trading or so I'm told. The centre of the Pikey universe is Horsmonden and Penge has nothing to do with it.

They seem to do quite well.

"all your rooms are painted magnolia" ???? in East Anglia a 'Pikey'is a member of the travelling community ( aka Gypo's, Didy-coys etc.) They all have at least 2 lurchers tied to the caravan and have never seen the inside of a magnolia room (!!!!!)
Here in Ireland they're "Knackers".

scored top marks, cushty.
you did miss out the question of letting the lurcher sleep in your bed due to the caravan being unheated.

[slowrhino] 02/10/2001 18:19

I got the lowest score on our caravan site, but that is only because of my lucky heather.

We used to have an old Pub ashtray which was huge when we were students. When the grant ran out towards the end of term you would start on the ashtray which hadn't been emptied for weeks. Eventually, you would have to start on the dog ends recycled from the old dog ends.


Ahhhhh, happy times.
