My Deep Sky Binocular award is in the post. I am on a roll! For my next AL project, I now have to decide between Galaxy Groups and Clusters, Planetary Nebulae or Flat Galaxies. Well, I don’t have to do any of them, but it would be nice to get some more pins.

You can now chuck those England flags in the bin after another tournament exit on penalties. England’s participation in penalty shoot-outs always have that air of doom-laden inevitability about them, don’t they? The FA need to take a leaf out of Germany’s book, change the system and rebuild. And practise those bloody penalties.
