Solar eclipse

[Ray B]

It certainly was a spectacular moment to see a full eclipse of the sun.
The only way in my mind to fully enjoy the moment is to get somewhere into the countryside away from the screaming crowds to hear nature all around gradually go quiet. Why were they screaming and cheering, it's not as if they were going to influence anything.
I think they missed the moment.

Newcastle Brown Ale has the same effect if you drink enough of it.

[Mervyn and Trish]

I missed it. My life is ruined.

I don't know Foxy, the moon is quite big, and the sun is even bigger.
