Oh that - I thought the Egyptians wanted their stone back, like the Greeks with the (our) Elgin Marbles!

I liked the quoted comment on R4 news last night. Apparently when asked why they weren't just mothballing the craft for a few years until the comet comes around again he replied (and I paraphrase) that 'we wanted to go out like a proper rock 'n' roll band and not have to do a revival gig a few years time'.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

The Marbles aren't ours but the Greeks shouldn't have them back until their economy is nice and stable.

The Marbles aren't ours but the Greeks shouldn't have them back until their economy is nice and stable ever.
