Holy ----, did I miss the memo?

Can anybody verify if this goes over the UK?

According to that little picture on Wiki. Looks so. I'm going to be looking out I think.. at when it happens.

It's only a partial eclipse for us brits it seems. All you Canadians should be getting a full one though! I think it's very soon, like under an hour? (for canadians obviously)

edit: I think it's already happened. ----.

[Blank Verse]

Totally missed it.

I heard no news about this ----er

It's really odd. I remember last time there was a solar eclipse, I was around 10, and there was a huge national frenzy. All over the news, protective viewing glasses being sold in supermarkets, etc etc.

Great. ----ing news stations for you. They wont put actuall news on no more, just always about the East and someone who had a toe operation.

The last one was when you were 10? Seems to me like we get them every 6 months now.

Really? I thought it was only visible in Russia and China.

Well, there's lunar eclipses, those are much more often.

[JonnyH]

Well I missed it, was out.. but not looking at the sky.. I actually probably could of seen it. ----.

Solar Eclipses are really just advertising campaigns .... by Ford Motors ...
