A meteor shower tonight. Actually it's on now. Should see it at its peak between 9 and 11, in the northeast. Though it's overcast here so maybe not... Should be great from the northcliff in Whitby... | ||

You know, I was thinking: surely it must've been overcast somewhere in the world when Wyndham's orbital blinding weapons went off, so not every country on the planet would've been blinded, surely? | ||

Mind, that's not as big a clanger as Simon Clark's giant cloud that blocks out the sun in Night of the Triffids, plunging the world into total darkness, but which doesn't cause a temperature drop... | ||

>>>Should be great from the northcliff in Whitby... Shame, then, that I was in Wigan eating curry with Paul Finch . . . | ||

Mark, you point out these problems in the Triffid novels and mention nothing about walking plants.  | ||

Saw nothing in the end but a depressing bowl of sodium orange. Saved by suburbia. | ||

Didn't you read the leaked government paper Proto? That's why the streetlights are there, to save us from the madness of the stars. | ||

I had a small hand in writing it, Tony. X-Factor was phase II. You don't want to know about Phase III. | ||

"Mind, that's not as big a clanger as Simon Clark's giant cloud that blocks out the sun in Night of the Triffids, plunging the world into total darkness, but which doesn't cause a temperature drop..." A turd of a book. I hope he got paid well. gcw | ||
