    According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

            Yes - few better stories even on April 1st!
            It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                You're laying this on a bit thick for my taste, Calum.

                  Yes, all the usual suspect gags as reported on BBC R4 (and no doubt elsewhere also) are being trotted out over this one - but just think, it could have been even worse; imagine the consequences had it been Vegemite!

                    I freely confess that I heard the 'Jam' (and the 'Yeastbound') on 'Today' at around 08.40, when it was also reported that 'According to police, the lorry is toast'.

                        This is not the confessional thread, Calum.

                          But do you really want to risk providing even more material to Sarah Cowan and Rob Walker to chat about on - er - Breakfast? Gordon Bennett! (or do I mean Arnold Bennett?)...
