I don't think it's possible to edit a thread title once it's posted. You can edit the text though
But a nice moderator could do it for you
ps, why is your avatar wearing my t-shirt?
A nice and friendly Moderator has corrected your spelling mistake Typo Error
....but it wasn't done by a nice friendly moderator, it was done by y.............Nah, forget it

Names in the paper log are what counts.
For example "Team Super" - Jack, Jill, Bill & Ben would count as 4.
.....couldn't Little Weed make it
Seriously all the best to the guys organising this, many thanks to you all for going for it, I hope the finally set date is propitious and I can be there
anything I can do to help down here in SE England let me know!!Ecky

May I also apologise for any aspersory remarks I may have made suggesting that our reviewers are susceptible to taking bribes and that they should be in the form of alcoholic beverages.
We all know that our reviewers are all fine, sober, upstanding gentlemen
Sheesh, let the other two speak for themselves!
Sauvignon Blanc, Rioja, Dom Perignon and Stella all equally acceptable and gratefully received
....as for apologies, totally unnecessary from any body, other than edited and edited and then there's also edited and edited and edited
Many thanks for all kind wishes and season's greetings. Reasonably normal service as usual South of N 51* 40 - except on and around December 30th (nr 1 son is getting married

Oh, I forget to warn our illustrious approvers they will have a few to cast an eye over .... do you think they might see this?
Let me see, Sunday 9th December - new caches set in conjunction with a certain cache hopper - hmmmm!!! - dancing elves springs to mind
....and now she refers to us by that outdated term approvers as well
Will I be around that day
.......................suppose so

Do I have to
'course I do

It might be a good idea if you edit your post to remove the tracking number.
Very good advice. John you will have to edit yours as well. As you have quoted the number in your post.
Ecky done it

Last night at a star studded event in Covent Garden, London our very own Dorsetgal & GeoDog, aka Wendy & Caesar were presented to the press as one of four "Samsung Everyday Heroes".
Wendy has been chosen to run in the Olympic Torch Relay when it passes through London next year on April 6th. Of course Caesar will be running too!
Last night, Wendy & Caesar met Sir Steve Redgrave and Kimberly Walsh from Girls Aloud
This new is expected to be shown on BBC Breakfast in the next day or two, and already online on the Mirrors website, maybe someone can do a link for me.
Wendy wasted no time in explaining geocaching to Sir Steve and even got her Diabetes geocoin photographed with him (he's a Vice President of Diabetes UK)
In addition to running in the London Olympic Torch Relay, Wendy will be travelling to China next summer to take part in events there too ...
I am sure you will all join me in congratulating Wendy on such a huge achievement.
You go girl!!
Mandy
Brilliant, way to go Wendy (& Caesar Too!) carry the torch for us all!!!!!!

2) Breugel (spelling?) - Peasant's Wedding Feast
Well done to La Fifi for getting the Arnofini portrait, and to Izzy for the Peasant Wedding. I could be awkward and ask which Van Eyck and which Breugel but I think that would be a bit harsh so:-
DING to Izzy
Johannes and Pieter the Elder?????

.........................and I had to leave earlyish to get a train back to leafy Ascot
Yes, but wasn't that to avoid buying your round?
Or to hide your face after you dnf'd where I found .... made my day Mr Ecky sir!

I just dropped a couple of 2007 Groundspeak Lackey Geocoins into the event page. This coin has only just been released and there looks to be only three out in the wild and two of those will be at the event.
The only way to get one of there coins is to visit Geocaching Headquarters in Seattle, which I did last month. If you want to log it, ask mongoose39uk or myself on the day.
...unless of course you count the ones given out to cachers at the It's Payback Time Folks! event in September in London, thirty or forty given out there by Jeremy and Samsie. Many Brit cachers got the joy of owning one!

A bonus ding for eckington on the unicorns.....tempted to remove it for admitting to listening to R2
.....it was playing in the background on Isobel's machine, honest Guv

Army - Ants
Crash - Rhino's
Pod - Whales
Murder - Crows
Exultation - Larks
All correct
The one's I think I know
a Crash of Rhinos
An Exaltation of Crows
A Parliament of Herons (But I think it can also be Crows as well)
One correct there
I thought Parliament was Rooks.
I didn't know that one but checked and that is correct. It's also for another group of animals so another bonus point if you can get that one
That leaves:
- flink
- mob
and two bonus points for
- second use of parliament
- blessing
Radio 2 just now.....a blessing of unicorns!
- flink

Michael Bates. Great actor. Died in 1978 I think, hence the many replacements of the third mameber of the LOTSM cast.

I knew when I typed Lofty it wasn't right! He's from Eastenders
He gets around a bit 'cos he was also in It Ain't Half Hot Mum
Let's hold that thought!
The actor who played Blamire was also in "Ain't 'alf 'ot".
Who was he

..................Blamire

Cache is in place! Can't get a GPS fix so the hint has got to be a good one. "Behind rock" just doesn't seem to be much help.

edit: Forgot to mention, it's a micro! Title based on a T Rex song "One Inch Rock".
