    meteor shower..

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6940962.stm

    Meant to be a bit of a beast tonight, and the skies are reasonably clear tonight. It's gonna start about now (10pm sunday) and end at sunrise.

    Let me know if you see anything cool.. I'm keeping an eye out til I go to bed in an hour..

    Just been to the promenade between the quay and tynemouth, its so dark you see all the stars. I've just got in and i've seen about 15 shooting stars. You need to be looking north to catch the action. Hope this helps.

    you should have been out the night b4 - you could see the new space station with the naked eye for a few minutes. it just looked like a fast moving star - but was still cool :up:

    I knew someone would pull me up on that. :lol:

    That was all it consisted of though, I think I'd rather stay up to watch a dog having a shit and that would be about as eventfull aswell.

    I was up about 1 or half 1 or something and saw loads, it was class - I think I saw more than most because there was no light flooding from lamp posts out my bedroom window.

    It makes the difference because some of them weren't very bright at all.

    Saw Mars too up North!

    There was a fucking quality beach rave on Saturday night, perfect for if you're skint. No idea why more people off here don't go!

    I was walking along a country lane in pitch black and some car pulled up slowly behind us. I totally shit myself and someone asked for directions and went "fuck it's rossy". I peered in and it was only disco dave in the middle of the fucking countryside. :lol: :lol:

    Top secret innit.

    Word on the street is that you're old bill.

    To be fair you're lucky I didn't, because you would have went to the wrong place, like I nearly did.
