Tonights the night for watching shooting stars.

Apparently the best time is between 9.00 and 11pm, but you must look up.

Enjoy

Thanks Hobbs I didn't know that.

I'll be in the wilds of Romford at that time so I will certainly look up, although I'm sure the light pollution in Romford is juat as bad as it is where I live.

Last time I was in Romford went to a nightclub called (I think) halloweens, or something like that.

Got somewhat drunk.  Me and my mate were sharing a hotel room (twin beds), we got split up and I got back about 4am to find him asleep in the corridor outside the room (I had the only key).

Nothing could wake him and he's a big lad, took me about half an hour to drag him onto his bed, best I could get was him on the bed but his feet on the floor.  Started to take his clothes off for him, got his top off, thought better of taking his bottoms off, so just left him like that.

That's how he awoke the next morning, he didn't move an inch.

Fancy bringing your northern ways down to Essex.

Mind you down here we would have had his pants of and painted his dick green with a permanent marker.

Explain that to the wife.

Leaving a drunken man to his own stupour? never heard of that one before, as Dave said, but my mates usually go a bit farther, get some duct tape, a blow up sheep called Baaaabra and a lamppost, failing that, first man down losses every single hair on his body.

as for the meteor shower tho, i've got my telescope and video camera ready, might get a few nice snaps to post on here, if i'm quick enough

That must be a Southern thing, because Iam pretty sure 99% of Northerners would smack you straight in the face as soon as they saw what you did  

Never ever interfere with the process of drinking, including taking advantage of one who is tipsy...

It's definately a southern thing. When I'm on the lash I'm much happier to have northerners or Irish with me.

They just seem to take the whole buisiness of drinking far more seriously. Most southerners might as well be drinkng turps for the way they just sling it back.
It's almost like a race who can get drunk the quickest and act the biggest twat.

The more I see how drunk people behave these days the more I favour prohibition.

As for the meteor shower, didn't see a thing.

I never bothered looking for the meteors.  As soon as I saw it was an annual event I knew it'd be crap as I'd never seen them before  

Last time I was drinking with Irish they wouldn't let me miss on any round so I ended up with four pints lined up for me that I had to drink.  I put them down one after the other, staggered to the toilet, puked my ring up, then went back and bought another round in.  By crikey those chaps can drink!

Drinking with Irishmen.

Oh yes I almost remember doing that.

How the hell do they neck a pint with such speed and not even burp just a little.

Having said that the conversation is better than you get in Essex and actually makes sense regardless of the amount of beer they have had.

As for punching someone in the mouth just for painting the old togger green, well.

Mind you I suppose that blue would be better now you come to mention it.

150 million years ago I worked in a pub in Cricklewood, for those who don't know Cricklewood it's small part of London with an incredibly high level of Irish immigrants.

I became very friendly with a few people and was once invited to a house party of one of the locals.

So I turned up with a bottle of wine while everybody else was turning up with kegs of Guiness - there were no prizes for spotting the Englishman.

I'm not kidding there were about a dozen kegs of Guiness lying around this place and about 40 guests.
By the morning every single keg was empty - I kid you not.

My liver was hanging around my knees for days.

I love the irish because they are real.

But then my dear old nan whom I never knew was irish.

I have been there at least seven times and I always feel that once I have spoken to an irishman I am home.

I've been in Australia most of my life but it take me five minutes to return to my strong accent my father still has a very strong accent though of course I don't notice it at all...  and yet there is only one member of my immediate family that drinks. to excess ..

Well I went down to the sea wall to take a look and as it was pitch dark I nearly ran over a young couple who were sitting on the grass looking out over the sea.

They assured me that they had seen some and that they seemed to have stopped for the moment.  So like you I haven't seen any either.

I did see it once 0n the the of the 8th 1988 when on my honeymoon in the Cotswolds.

It was truly amazing and there were literally hundreds of them coming in from all angles.

A bit like the honeymoon really
