The picture on that site is terrible too - it's hidden behind a tree!

 

At the end of the article, there's this interesting fact:

King Edward VII invented his own timezone for the royal estate in Sandringham, Norfolk, in 1901 to squeeze in half-an-hour more hunting time each day

Here's my slightly disappointing one:

I think I missed the higher activity according to Aurora Watch.

I know there are other casual-usage words for big categories of critters

And that's the only word you need, right there.

Yeah the main instance is Chinese, there are English ones but not many. It's still new.

The church is from 14th century. There are a couple of iron age hill forts (no building). I think most of the regular buildings are 19th century onwards.

Upvoted for NetSurf. I wrote the Amiga frontend for it, and as such it's my favourite browser on that platform (OS4 anyway - the OS3 build is very unstable)

Apparently deaf from birth people don't make any noise when they sneeze, as they've not heard anybody else do it so don't know they "should".^[I heard this from years ago; don't know how true it is] I'm not a particularly loud sneezer but it strikes me as odd that any noise at all would be learned behaviour.

Some people do make a lot of noise though, to the point where I'm thinking that it can't all be involuntary.

Yep, it's a PITA to parse and get the values you want. Much prefer JSON. Recently when I needed to parse XML I ran it through an XML to JSON library. Much easier!

If you need to parse XML just for RSS though, it isn't so bad as there are RSS specific libraries which take most of the pain away.

 
 

I did try to copy/paste the list into a different community but it gave me an error. It took ages so I'm not trying that again.
