Are you a Trekkie whisty? I posted the StarTrek post in honour of one of my mates who, it would be fair to say, is a Trekkie.

Some in my family say I have Spock shaped ears, that's as near to a trekkie as I get although I did love that show. 

Did Oneeye get a pic of the front of the Enterprise up there ^^?

As PHT are my real initials, this seems to be one for today - though it's a subject I know little about.

Nelson in cricket

Individual or team scores of 111 or multiples thereof, for reasons unexplained, are considered to be unlucky in cricket. In order to avoid ill fate, some purists raise their leg when the score strikes 111. English umpire David Shepherd was the most famous practitioner of this tradition, which takes its name from Lord Nelson, who had lost an eye, arm and a leg.

I think this is a Land Rover Defender 110 (or it could be a 90 in which case it can come back in a few weeks.)

Looks like a 90 to me.  I never even thought about this reference today and I have a 110 on the drive as well!!.  Will try and dig out a pic later.

Nice pic though anyway.

My dad had an old Wolsley 6/80, which was one of the first cars I drove.

Here is a pic of my Defender 110.  A solo camping night out with my little tent.
