... a partial solar eclipse. Tomorrow morning between 9.30 am and 11am in UK.
I'm partial to...
Ooo I'll have a butcher's for that while I'm at work, cheers for that.
Oh yeah, NOW you tell me, when I've got nothing even remotely like the correct goggley things. Bah!
It's very partial indeed from where I'm looking. Only 8% here. That's shit.
I wouldn't mind if the sun didn't come up at all tomorrow and leave me some time to resolidify. Or mop myself up...

Move to John O'Groats and you'll get about 40%

That's an option I'm seriously considering now. A pity that I have only 8 hours time to make a decision.
*ponders*
I still have my t shirt from the total one in 99. It's a bit on the big side. Thinking of using it as a tent.

No eclipse for me.
... your abracadabra.
I'll look out for it - unless it will make me go blind.
If you look directly into the sun on a hot day it gives you superhuman vision.

I just invented a mental image of the opening scene from The League of Gentlemen with a flyer on the wall advertising an eclipse and everyone stumbling around blindly with red-tipped canes and sunglasses.
