7779311? (Thus endorsing previous reasoning.) no, although the number is odd. Good clue. Half the numbers eliminated at a stroke! 11?

Re: Any chances of a white Christmas?
We seem certain to get some snow in Northern Ireland. But for a white Christmas it has to be falling somewhere at 12 noon. We'll see. Officially I seem to remember it's something like "a single snowflake falling on broadcasting house at any time during Dec 25th" - they probably need a for...

Between 0°C and 3°C (min/max) at our location on Xmas day, with ~40% chance of precipitation during the night/morning; more likely to be rain than snow.

Re: A reason to get up early
A friend of mine had a Celestron 6SE which he was very happy with; though he upgraded within 6 months, which he warns as a common problem with the hobby, and would recommend going for the 8SE if you can afford it! Good set of features including auto-setup, go-to and tracking, as well as excellent im...

Perhaps he starts wearing thicker socks, made from wool, reminding him of Woolwich? (though I don't think that's a city, so perhaps somewhere else that wool comes from?)

Favourite new 2011 releases (in no order): Dow, Fonseca, Vesuvio Capela, Quevedo
My favourite wine of 2013 (so far) would be a Niepoort '42 which I was lucky enough to try twice thanks to Dirk's generosity; absolutely stunning wine, closely followed by a Cockburn '45.

Search problems
The local site search doesn't seem to be working correctly for me. For example, searching either using the box at top right, or the advanced search for the term "BFT" (or +BFT) searching within subjects and message text yields no results.
