I hope this doesn't corrupt Bullfrog. Actually, I've always had my doubts about the existence of Los Angeles, even though I know many people (including my own children) who say they've been there. It's just that it doesn't seem to be- you know- possible.

@Bernie -- this is a very long-winded way of explaining what, once you've done it a few times, is the work of a few seconds. Place your mouse cursor at one end (lets say the front end) of the section you want to copy. Press down the left mouse button and, keeping it pressed down, run the cursor forward across the words which will turn white against a blue background. When you reach the end of the section to be copied, lift your finger off the left button, move the cursor onto the blued section and press the right mouse button once. This will bring up a menu. Look for 'Copy' on the menu and move the cursor over it (the word 'Copy' will also turn white on blue) Press the left button and you have copied the section to a clipboard. The menu will disappear. Now go to wherever you want to paste the section, place the cursor in the appropriate place, and press the right button. This time look for 'Paste' and press the left button once it has turned white on blue. The menu will disappear and the section of text will appear.

Well done chaps! We used have quite a few threads a couple of years back explaining things like how to do simple HTML, creating coloured and even dancing text and so on, but I don't know what's possible since the site was redesigned. A search facility would be so useful here!

Oh, and 'The Sound of Moosic'?

Going back to the rogue cow, if it had looked like these, you could have taken even better pics!!
