travels

well, back from travels now. done both liverpool and birmingham (well, near enough) in 2 days, and all that sitting down in the car has made me tired. i also blame all the food.

anyway, exciting things - got perhaps the best book in the world (a close competition with another book i was given...) from an aunty/uncle/family; Schott's Almanac 2006. here's a taster for you...

The National UK Rail Network is 16,652km long, almost half of what it was in 1928 when the network was at its peak of 32,565km. At present, 5,167km of the network is electrified, and 15,042km of track is currently open to passenger traffic.

So you see, couple (no pun intended) that with other such sections as Classic FM Hall of Fame 2005, UK Postal Rates at 1.9.2005, and The Global Gender Gap, and you have a mighty fine book, full of all the things i could ever need to know. happy days.
