| I once read or heard an interview with Patrick Moore where he mentions having met one of the Wright brothers.Someone ( I can't remember who ) described situations like that as the "telescoping of time ". Amazing to think there could still be people who also have similar memories. |

Yes, when I met Patrick Moore, I made sure to shake his hand, thereby achieving one degree of separation from Wilbur Wright, Neil Armstrong and Yuri Gagarin.
The thing that often makes me reflect on the telescoping of time is the fact that there were Victorians pottering about in the 1960s. God knows what they made of it all. |

| I can't get over the fact that my father visited London Zoo just after the last thylacine had gone, he might just as easily have gone a few years earlier. |
