Yep. Oops. And I'm one of them. Sorry. :-)

Hey Dodai. Nice piece, but Mary I [1542 - 1587] reigned for 25 years. She lived rather longer than that. Cheers.

Psst ... Dodai's confused her life length with her length of reign. Mary I died aged 44. She reigned for 25 years.

I'm still learning! I've learned more about BC in the past year reading Jez/other US newswire sites than I did in the many decades leading to this one. ;-)

Gee. And I C&P'd that from a medical website! But I see what I did there: I nabbed the info, didn't read it properly and missed the word *MAY*. Serves me right.

Plan B works like other birth control pills to prevent pregnancy. Plan B acts primarily by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation).

THE GOOD NEWS: "Since the anti-venom became available in 1981, there have been no recorded fatalities from Sydney funnel-web spider bites."

I laughed so much tears ran down my legs.

"It was only a tenner to enter and I believe you should start them young."

And we've got koalas [not, for god's sake people, please, koala BEARS] and ... erm ... gun laws.

Sydney, Australia. Born and bred. You'd wonder why Aussies have a reputation for being — as far as I've been told! — relaxed and happy all the time.
