Great song but even looking up the lyrics hasn't helped me find out what it's all about. Very odd.

It's because of the referendum. Push the Leaver has a different connotation nowadays. I have to hold on all the time

I'm impressed. I sold my bike a few months ago. It wasn't getting the use it should. My build is better suited to walking than teetering on two wheels.

The Google Sky map App on my phone is perfect for showing just about every celestial body in the sky. It uses the phone's accelerometer to map out on the screen, the stars, constellations and planets, as you move the phone around the sky

Maybe we should learn from each other. This is a very early stage for me.
