Perseid Meteor Shower

[Dock Shunter]

Should be visible in most parts of the country tonight (cloud permitting)
Around 11pm should be the optimum time to see.
Parts of Wiltshire...(Stonehenge) and the Peak District among the best places to be.....

Can I see it in Southern Norway?

Same here John at the moment......
Keeping my fingers crossed it will clear up later.......

I have just been told by the local BBC weatherman - "You will be lucky to see any of the meteor shower tonight".  :'(

Which is a shame as I have seen them a few times over the years and it is excellent to see

Could this be the curtain raiser for the big one they say is going to happen on the 21st of December 2012, "The End of the World"

You mean that meteor shower being clouded out too ?  Quite likely 

Or if you mean the utter spouted about the Mesoamerican Long Count  calendar ...    I think there's a slight problem in that this calendar has something booked for a few days after "the end of the world" 

After all - it's merely the end of the 13th b'ak'tun.  I don't recall reading that the world ends after each b'ak'tun, and there's nothing special about this one

Don't tell me - the end of the world is meant to happen 21st December but they've booked a New Year's Party

[longbridge]

  The world was supposed to end in 2003 but something went wrong, they decided 2012 would be the end 

I think freaky people make stories up like that to make money and draw attention to themselves, some have even made full length documentaries about 2012, don't worry me either way

Worries the hell out of me, Dave, as I want to see the Blue Pullman going round my layout
