Science is Drokking Fantastic Because...

Me neither, nor that it was so close to blowing up - no wonder Tharg's come here!

The threat of a supernova is fake news: Tharg is an economic migrant pure and simple, just here for the groats our over-generous comics fans shower such moochers with, while home-grown editors like Big E and Lord Peter Flint are on the scrap heap.  We need to give the ETC the powers they need to deal with his kind.

I'm sure the Dictators of Z.R.A.G. (Zarjaz Refugee Abuse Group) are on the case...

The truth about Starlord has finally come to light - he was deported!

At last, after three and a half years years of variously looking for work, doing short contracts, then back to looking I've only gone and landed a permanent job!

And as a sweetener, I'm also off work altogether for I estimate at least another few weeks which gives me time to get some packing done as I've also got my house sold 

Still need to buy a new house, but our options have increased because of said employment.

[Something Fishy]

well done Mikey.  What will you be doing?

[TordelBack]

Nice one Mikey!

[The Legendary Shark]

Good stuff, Mikey - congratulations!

[Mardroid]

Yes well done Mikey. Been in a similar way...

NASA is advertising a job that only a Squaxx could properly fill - Planetary Protection Officer!

Imagine it... "It's okay, Ma'am, I'm Planetary Protection Officer Shark - Legendary - and that green blob is under control now..." Hmmm - maybe not!

Perseides meteor shower, in a few minutes 23:00 apparently. (I only just found out.)

[TordelBack]

It's been a good night for the Perseids so far down our way - clouds cleared almost completely just around sunset, moon's staying pleasantly out of the way for a waning gibbous, some terrific clusters of meteors 3 or more within seconds of each other.  Sitting out with the missus, hot water bottles and wine, the boy is sitting out with his friend-who's-a-girl at her house, and were comparing notes by whatsapp.  Good as it gets, really.

It was very cloudy tonight where I live (Dartford, Kent)  so I unfortunately saw nothing.

Never mind.

[Spikes]

Nowt all weekend - too cloudy. Bah!
