    For my own needs, I'd be happy enough with CAT5 unless there's likely to be excessive interference. For a short run you should get gigabit.

    Funny!

    Real life doesn't seem to be very much like that though, at the moment. Perhaps Erling's teammates are a liability.

    Oh I'm sad to hear that. Years ago I read his book, Sea Harrier Over the Falklands. Easily my favourite of the four or five Falklands memoirs I've read.

    I'd say the Raymond Weil, but if you do wear one of the other ones - don't draw attention to it, or talk about it.

    Yes, this is well understood. I wonder if the curvature of the horizon in the image is a product of over-correction by the phone's camera app? That at least would make sense.

    I'm trying not to, but: wide angle lenses distort in a particular way that wouldn't cause the upward curvature of a line below the centre of the image. I'm sorry if you haven't understood that.

    I didn't. But the wide angle distortion described there would act against the curve visible in the image, it wouldn't enhance it.

    I'd forgotten that 1987 entry, ten years after Ca Plane Pour Moi. I'd say it was Swedish.

    True. But it's not a French punk song, and I don't think Plastic ever appeared in a Eurovision Song Contest in any case.
