*** STOP PRESS…BONUS CUNTING…2 MORE TO FOLLOW LATER TODAY ***
I find nature fascinating, but a total solar eclipse is commonplace and in my opinion, quite boring.
They occur regularly, twice a year is normal and they have happened up to 5 times in a year.
If you are determined to see them and don’t mind travelling to remote areas then you will see a total eclipse more often than a Christmas dinner.
The phenomenon that I have found interesting in the past is that the birds stop singing for the minute or so of the eclipse and the dogs stop barking.
Interesting, but not so much as to make me go out of my way to experience it.
Our closest big city is Valencia which is right in the path of totality.
However, the eclipse will happen just before sunset and people have been advised to travel to nearby Castellón where there is a clearer, unobstructed view, with no tall buildings.
For the past week we have been given dire warnings.
Don’t look directly into the sun.
I don’t think that it’s possible for anyone to look directly into the sun.
Your reflex reaction would be to look away, to shut your eyes or at least shade them.
Nobody can possibly sit looking into the sun directly.
You don’t need to warn anyone not to hold their hand in a fire.
Even the most stupid of people have a reflex, self preservation mechanism.
So the warning is daft and unnecessary.
But some fucking cunt has decided that all the overhead motorway signs are changed today.
Instead of warning about broken down vehicles, nearby roadworks, danger of wildfires or traffic speed cameras ahead, all the signs are telling us not to drive while wearing eclipse glasses.
For fuck’s sake!
Total solar eclipses are a load of astral wank.

I found the stories of people in the UK queuing for hours to buy solar eclipse glasses hilarious, as the effect of the eclipse here was, for the most part, negligible.
If I’d been asked to pay to see it I’d have wanted a refund.
There really is one born every minute.

It reminds me of the “Year 2000” internet meltdown that never happened but lots of companies mad lots of money by curing a problem that never happened.

That’s the first notable example of them Fear Training us during my lifetime, I was 20 at the time and had my suspicions it was all bullshit. Interesting that one of the most prevalent motifs they were propagating was ‘planes falling out of the sky’ and then we had 9/11 🤔

Just in case you missed this once in a lifetime event, there will be another, and apparently better one around the same time next year.
The best place to see it will be Egypt.

2nd of august apparently TAC.
it will be visible / invisible across Spain, north Africa and the middle east for about 6 minutes.

It was a damp squib in my part of London, it went slightly duller about 7.15 pm, then fuck all.

If I wanted to witness anything, I wouldn’t want all those annoying cunts hanging around.

I once went out with a bird who was like a solar eclipse.
I couldn’t bear looking at her and she didn’t hang around for long.

Well, I once went out with girl who was like Saturn.
She was a gas giant and covered in rings.
Or was that Youranus?

I’m surprised it wasn’t pay per view.
Labour missed a trick there.
I enjoyed it,
Death to the sun!!!
take that you fucker.
about time it was put in its place.

The solar eclipse was a metaphor for this country..
One minute, bright, light and happy. Next a ball of darkness, cancelling it all out..
And my wallet got stolen..

3 noms today?
wunderbar.
Let’s hope they’re dirty.

The coverage on the TV was almost as much fun as the helicopter coverage of the police raid on Sir Cliff Richards mansion.
I am not a druid so an eclipse is of no interest whatsoever.
A festival of cunts.
Good morning.

Just the moon shagging the sun. Letting you know how long it should last for.

How to eclipse a smelly sandwóg

Give that dog a bone.
Oh hang on, he’s already got one.
12
Give that good boy some yummy chipolatas!
Shame he didn’t rip that filthy fucking pakı’s throat out.
13
Better rip his bollocks off.
11
Both.
Perfect.

It was a bit shit.
At least in Iceland apparently one of the best places to see it with people booking up hotel rooms two years in advance, the weather was overcast and drizzling so that cheered me up a bit.
Eclipse related but not really I saw that hundreds of mongs lined the streets singing ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart for Bonnie Tyler’s funeral.

If the Iceland ‘bad luck’ drizzle tickled you, this should too.
‘Guillaume Le Gentil left France for India in 1760 to observe a transit of Venus. War broke out, his ship was delayed, and he was still at sea when the transit occurred, making it impossible to measure. Knowing the next transit would not happen for another eight years (and then not for over a century), he decided to stay abroad in the region to wait for it. In 1769 after eight years of waiting, the big day arrived, but heavy clouds suddenly blocked the sky completely during the crucial moments.
He finally sailed back to France after 11 years away, only to find he had been legally declared dead, his wife had remarried, and his relatives had looted and divided up his entire estate’.

If you query the zero communication in all the years, a story comes back of war, shipwrecks and a courier being a cunt(some things never change!).

I’m a moon man myself, stuck my arse at the window hoping for a reaction from some passer by gazing up at the 🌞…😩

A solar eclipse or a sunny day is a much better news item for the BBC, rather than something like this..!

I was great round our way. We went to see it on the moors. Car loads of Lib Dem types there eating yogurt, and gluten free biscuits. Car loads of wasted and arse-less scousers smoking weed. Loads of wimmin with very little on.
Highly entertaining. Enjoyed watching the cunts trying to get of the car parking areas when it was all over. Not a darquie in sight, they must have stayed at home thinking the gods were angry and that the world might end before the deliveroo turned up.
Good morning, everyone.

I would sooner see the total eclipse of two young ladies arses, with me in between them licking and stroking their snatches, whilst they suck my cock and bollocks.

Have you been reading Debretts Guide to Etiquette again sir?
Bloody good show.

You’re an old reprobate, Sammy.
All I care about these days is a warm place to shit and a decent nights sleep.

I was sat in my chair watching the sky get darker then lighter. No eye damage either.

That about sums it up, CM.
The visual definition of
” Move along, nothing to see here “

It was shit. Nothing happened in Manchester.
And, those fuckers who make out they took ‘photos’ of it and filter them to buggery and pass them off as ‘real’ are cunts of the highest order.

I’ve always thought Lunar Eclipses are better.

0/10 Seen better.
Couldnt even have told you where the sun was in the sky without guessing behind the Hebridean sea fog and low cloud.
As for the meteor shower peak the same night, see above.
