It was taken from the inside cover of Ten Years After's "Rock n Roll Music To The World" record album
(sorry for the bad scan - my scanner ain't that big

)

Photo is credited to Alvin Lee, so it could well be Woodstock...
The album should be in any fan of good rock n' roll's collection, along with it's live compatriot "Recorded Live"

These are some extraordinary and never seen before space shuttle pictures....
You can see the shuttle processing. The pics are ranked in order
from left to right.

- External tank arrives by barge.
- Solid rackets are attached to the tank.
- Complicated engines are attached in the shuttle processing facility (SPF).
- You can see the shuttle being attached to the external tank.
- Discovery shuttle leaving the vertical assembly building.
- Discovery moving slowlytoward the launch pad.
- Ready for the launching.
- The most exciting moment. Discovery launches into the space!

Like I did as a kid(although I can't see it happening ever again) walking down Downing Street with my Dad and seeing No.10 and No.11(home of the Chancellor of the Exchequer) and also being allowed to walk around the bases of Stonehenge-which you can't do now that I also did with my family as a kid.

Being on trial and getting found "not guilty" is very nice - especially when you actually did it!

Were you defended by Bob Massingbird KC?

I remember Massingbird's most famous case: the Case of the Bloody Knife. A man was found next to a murdered body. He had the knife in his hand. 13 witnesses had seen him stab the victim. And when the police arrived, he said "I'm glad I killed the bastard." Massingbird not only got him off; he got him knighted in the New Year's Honours List. And the relatives of the victim had to pay to wash the blood out of his jacket!

Confused and contradictory witnesses are a great help in these situations - as is a very strong nerve and, as you suggest , a damn good lawyer.

An interesting experience but not the sort of thing anyone would like to repeat.

Actually going into space would be great.Too bad it won't be by space shuttle anymore.

Fatherhood.To have my daughter wrap her whole hand around my finger when we cross the street, or set up a "wedding" in my living room to marry me.It's nice to be her Superman.

Speaking of Superman,about the most amazing thing I've ever done was sky diving.17,000 feet up and jumping.........The 14 thousand foot freefall.The catch phrase is "Sensory Overload", but man that don't begin to describe it.
It's sort of like a 6-7 minute long orgasm

Reminds me of "Mr loophole" that lawyer who gets the rich and famous off driving offences. It would be cheaper to take taxis than pay his fees
