What is a good method to plot a ships course using the gramophone?

Dont mean to take this OT but being fairly new to this game/forum who is Bernard and what is the deal with all the jokes about "him"?

Anyone else I should know about?

On topic, with map contacts on (which is the way i play) I make a mark at the end of the contact line, wait a few minutes (or use TC) and make another mark, do this again with enough space between the marks to be able to draw a decent line (long enough to stretch out) across all of them. This gives you a rough idea of its course for an intercept point to get a visual.
