Title: Eclipse
Post by: DanJ on 20 March 2015, 01:51:07 PM
I was expecting to be disapointed this morning as the cloud had been thickening for a couple of hours, but there were a some very brief bright spots and I managed to get this

Total non-event down here. It went a bit gloomy, like the build-up to a big storm, but that was it.  :( :( :(

My office looks over the Travelodge. My experience of the eclipse was sitting at my desk being aware that every now and then a large, bald, naked man would peer through the curtains of his hotel room before disappearing again for a few moments. At one point he wore a t-shirt, but at his next appearance he was again as the day he was born.

I think he may have been very excited to witness the eclipse.

Is Orcs on holiday in Runcorn?

Belive me - no one but no one goes on holiday to Runcorn. BTW in referance to another post - there is no Asda, just a TESCO and Morrisons.

Exactly. No ASDA in Runcorn?  :o  
FSN, what are these tablets you are on?
Title: Re: Eclipse
Post by: Techno on 21 March 2015, 04:33:42 PM
According to ASDA'S website, they've got a 'superstore' in Runcorn.  :-\
I feel a conspiracy theory beginning.  ;)

Asda's website also said my local opened at 09:00 during the Xmas to New Year break, but when I went there to look for  new TV I was very abruptly told "Nope, we open at 10", so don't believe everything you read on the web.

Tesco got my money instead.

For all I know Asda's web page is lying.....Or something sinister is afoot.
I think we should be told.

There's no Morrisons in Runcorn.  :-\, and I think they've closed the TESCO down, or it got eaten by bears.

There's a Morrisons in Widnes, and an ASDA and the 2nd biggest TESCO in the UK . In fact, Widnes is now 24% TESCO.

The ASDA in Runcorn is virtually cut off just now by the road works. They're building another bridge and diverting the roads so that nobody can ever find their way to Runcorn.  It'll be like Brigadoon, appearing out of the fog once every 100 years for a refill of Fosters and kebab meat.

Though thinking again, I may just have been in next door's kitchen at 2am. Could explain why she was in her pyjamas.  :-[

And why they had run out of Irn Bru.  :-\

You say Widnes is 24% Tesco...Is that like an Ebola outbreak?

There's a court order says I'm not allowed to wear them any more.

Apparently, I frightened the horses.  :-[

Indeed. Following on his success with the movie, JFK, I hear Oliver Stone now plans a new conspiracy movie located in Runcorn with the working title .................. FSN (!)
So far, tentative negotiations have been conducted with Kevin Costner Ricky Tomlinson in the frame for the lead role!  =D> 

Oooooh! Can't wait!  8->
