I am most impressed, my little red dot somehow appears roughly in the correct place on the map. I was expecting my home to mysteriously move into the middle of the Atlantic ocean, and was thus impressed. However, the impression was slightly dented because clicking on my little dot doesn't reveal my golfing profile. No, it coughs up a hairball: http://babyl.dyndns.org/golf/book.xml?style=golfer;id=UNKNOWN Moving on to Andrew's observation, it is clear he missed my mention first time around. I live in the shadow of the Forth bridges, in a small town called Dalgety Bay, in Fife. The county of Fife, or more fully The Kingdom of Fife is home to the very town which brought golf into the world - St. Andrews. The following link is for a costal map of Fife: http://www.fifecoastalpath.co.uk/html/fife_coastal_map.html Dalgety Bay is between North Queensferry (the northside of the Forth bridge (rail)) and Aberdour on that map. The rail bridge is interesting, so allow me to extract some figures on the bridge before presenting a link: * 2.5 km. [1.5 mile] long * 54,000 tons of steel and 6,500,000 rivets. * Total cost was �3,200,000 - in 1890!!! * 57 men died in construction. * 2nd largest Cantilever bridge in the world of it's type, but was finished 28 years before the longer bridge in Quebec. http://www.forthbridges.org.uk I make particular reference to it because I travel across it on a regular basis :) Strange, I know the expression "Brass Monkeys" and can certainly be applied around here sometimes. As I write, hail stones are pouring down from the sky... what did we deserve those for? Fortunately, they aren't like those vicious ones other countries seem to suffer. I really must get my homepage sorted, then it would be easier to respond when someone asks "where do you live?". Take care Andrew et al, Jonathan Paton ===== $_=q|.,&@$$. ,.@$&@$. .&$$@. ,,$ ....!$_=$p.'&$@.',y'&$@' .,';for(/\S+/g){ !|.q| .$ .,@, ,$, .,.. @, ,$ ,,@ .,,.!++$.<22?${'y'.$_}=chr$.+64:[$$=${'y' !|.q| ,@$@&.,. $$$&, ..@&&$,,, $., ..!.$_},$y.=($.=~/22\|26\|3(3\|7)/x?'
