We had it again, but not so strong and vibrant as Friday Night.

Quote from: JBR on May 11, 2024, 05:55:01 PMThe main problem with getting the nuclear power stations built is getting the damned government to think outside their 'windmill box'.

We have one up here beside us.... Well, along the coast a wee bit. It's proper name is "Dounreay" but it's mostly called "The Blot"
The beach "Sandside" it overlooks is lovely, but I seldom went there for our walk.

Quote from: Alex on May 12, 2024, 09:11:08 AMI watched Friday night/early hours Saturday morning JB as it was supposed to be visible Friday and Saturday, but I didn't see anything.  Last night was the same but the sky as a whole had a different 'tone'  similar to bonfire night  :cool:
No problem.  It'll happen again one day.

Quote from: Diasi on May 12, 2024, 08:12:49 AMThis is my whole point because the UK wasn't facing any threat from Germany.

Edward the V111 was on very good terms with Hitler who was an admirer of the UK's German Royal Family.

Hitler's sole aim was to regain some areas that were stolen from Germany after WW1, in which also the UK should not have got involved, led to the creation of the Soviet Union which is causing us so much trouble today.
But having regained that lost land, he pushed further into Russia.
He also took France.
As far as I'm concerned, he'd have been welcome to France but our leaders at the time must have become worried that the UK would be next.

I haven't watched it for years. But from the bits I've seen on the News I'm not missing anything. It seems to have descended into a who can be the biggest idiot competition. Load of tosh.

If current trends continue there will be no audience - mainly because there will be no population. The west is facing an extinction event.

Quote from: JBR on May 11, 2024, 09:50:21 PMBut it's only 9.50pm.
From what I read somewhere we need to wait until 1030pm.
so we're waiting.

I watched Friday night/early hours Saturday morning JB as it was supposed to be visible Friday and Saturday, but I didn't see anything.  Last night was the same but the sky as a whole had a different 'tone'  similar to bonfire night  :cool:

It was won by another fella in a frock !  I kept waiting for the song to start, but I don't think it did. 

I hope the contest will be phased out eventually as even the audience was "odd
Looking"

I suspect it doesn't take much cloud in towns as the street lights get reflected.
