@Liam In Scotland we don't do A-Levels. Although I did do one, in addition to my Highers and CSYS, just for kicks

@Liam it's a code you get with a geocaching travel bug. You can 'discover' them or take them. We discovered two. The idea is that you take the travel bug, and help it get closer to its destination. So some might be from England but want to get to... Australia... And the idea is it gets there via different geocachers moving it to a new geocache :)

I use no maths for programming (well almost none) but a fair amount in my hobbies: I build a fair few electronic devices (audio effects, guitars, home automation stuff) and they need weird maths

@Liam She was great. I wanted more maths so got free additional tuition outside school hours. And took extra maths subjects all the way through until I finished Uni. And yes, maths has come in useful every since. (definitely a geek)

All He said was: "If you haven't done it, do not just try and kill your rope. Learn it on a rope which is no longer usable for climbing. Once you learn, its safe!"

@liam: I somewhat agree. But I have seen that process done by a veteran Sherpa when I had been to Nepal once.

Also @Liam Jon gave a good answer... though it means I burnt 1085 kcal minimum for my snowdon climb... shame I put on and didn't lose weight!

She is staying with me for a week, getting to visit castles, the Festival and even coming to a Metaltech gig this Saturday in Nottingham, before I post it off to the next moderator in the trail. It's doing a round the world trip :-)
