We're due to have the years best meteor shower tonight.
If it's dark where you are, and the clouds are obliging, get out and have a look.

Went to Green lane, London yesterday, upnorth can't be as grim as that surley?
Didnt see any, too cloudy, too much street lighting....... oh and I was asleep.

T'was cloudy up here. Best time was apparently between 2 and 4 AM. Last night was the peak of the activity, but you should still see plenty.

Saw three of 'em and two satellites.
Quite impressive in a rather geeky, anorakl-wearing way.
More tonight as it's a clear night darn ear in 'ampshire.
