I've just cancelled my next business trip to Germany. I hate them at the best of times, but when they grow this big something is certainly wrong..... http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=...857685,10.20521&spn=0.004998,0.010922&iwloc=A http://makeashorterlink.com/?K64626DDD
I've obviously been whooshed here. It may not have been that funny, but I don't understand the "twat" bit.

Nah. Sorry an' all that - rather irritating time atm, which is making me rather irritated with the world in general.
It is! ;-) http://www.navicache.com/pics/memberpics/findpic22019-3.jpg That is the easy version of it, what you have on google maps is the more complex "stick arms into it" version, or it's shadow to be precise.
