Fair play to you mate!we chose 93% with almost assured clear skies,
over cornwall 100% with clouds being a distinct possibility.
i've been to plenty of operas
(never from the foyer, mind)
and it was better than all of them put together.
you're not pissing on my chips :)

I was in St Ives on the beach for the 99 eclipse. 100% cloudy, but eerily dark and all the birds flew in from the sea. Turned noticeably colder too.Fair play to you mate!
Good luck to those that are wanting to view it in the states.

We’re in a diner in a little town in Arkansas called Cabot.
The staff are all excited about the upcoming experience, as we are.
At the moment, the skies are partially cloudy, and the forecast for the next few hours is looking good.

They’re saying ‘they started chem trails last night to stop up seeing what’s really going on’. Asking where the moon is etc.Some absolute zingers out there.
My current favourite is the eclipse is a smoke screen for an EMP attack by Putin.
That nation is fucking backwards.

Im sure all things gun sales have soared.Whilst some are saying it's the start of the rapture and told their members to get survival ready.
How silly they’ll look about 10 minutes after the eclipse happens.

My son sent me pictures and it's glorious today. He's taken the day off and was down at the beach.It’s passing right over Cleveland, where we’ll get 4+ mins of totality. Not been a cloud in the sky today and the same is forecast for tmrw. It’s a mixed bag for Monday, so fingers crossed.

Channel surfing and thought I'd check out the coverage of this. Both sky and BBC so incredibly poor, actively ruining the experience.
Sky's camera was so shaky it looked like my 11 years olds first attempt at a YouTube video.
BBC, they came out wish such crap trying to big up the event. Asked a guy "what does the eclipse mean to you, professionally, as a scientist?"
It's happening now and the egotistical witch still won't shut up, jabbering over the celestial event. "And it now appears that it's nightfall..." Dear God, zip it!
Mute button recommended, but a truly impressive event.
