MRI of the brain
Rather than comment upon the long weekend's 'partying' (how I loathe the constant use of that word these days), I thought a little fun may be more interesting.
This is more difficult than you might think. These are the things we're supposed to do to remove the cholesterol around our brain and try to slow up Alzheimer's disease.
It took me a couple of attempts before I could finally tell my brain to concentrate.
See how you do with the colours. It takes an average of 5 tries to get to 100%.
Good luck.
Oh, one aspect of the Jubilee celebrations puzzles me. Why were beacons lit the length of Hadrian's wall?

I did it on the second attempt! I'm not a senile old English nationalist after all!
Bloody tricky if one's colour-blind, though I did score 75% (and I've had my, ahem, lunch.)
And where pray were mauve, lilac and teal? As for Hadrian's Wall, perhaps they were to help a Roman in the gloaming. Perhaps its time for my therapy, otherwise strawberries and cream.
Sixty beacons, one per year of Her Majesty's reign.
Well done Independent England. You deserve an accolade.
Ooops John, never thought about colour blind folks. Well done you - especially with you being colour blind.
Ah they're not primary colours are they Demetrius?
I do like your answer to the Hadrian's Wall conundrum. :)
I saw that Brian, but why only Hadrian's Wall and not the borders with Wales and S Ireland?
Rosie,
I checked the interactive map (very slow to load) and it is possible to trace out beacons along the line of Offa's Dyke. But since when has Hadrian's Wall been the border with Scotland?
The beacons were erected on a voluntary basis and ease of access was a factor as well.
As far as the NI boundary is concerned, when I was last there twenty odd years ago, many of the local people had a strong nationalist point of view and frowned on all things British - a bit different to the red, white and blue kerbs in parts of Belfast.
Interesting Rosie.
Brian, you wouldn't believe how many of my England (and Scottish) friends think Hadrian's Wall is the border today.
A wee bit fun Jo. We all need some fun now and again.
