Well that was a waste of time. Glad I didn't fork out for special glasses.

Spot on Alan, thank goodness for Reacher on Amazon

Swifts here doing some great flybys. Thought it would be darker ...

Man Utd v Leads pre-season friendly on primetime ITV eclipse's the most stupid thing TV Football has shown this decade

Will my tinted motorcycle visor be okay, do you think?

I’m winging it and watching the eclipse through the wrapper from a 1970s bottle of Lucozade.

Eclipse well underway.

I flew past New York not long after 9/11. Smoke still rising above the city.

Before I worked in Docklands I used to motorbike up to the City to work. My route home took me either through Brixton/Streatham or Balham/Tooting - I would decide at the fork of the road at Kennington. One night I chose straight ahead instead of left and missed the start of the Brixton Riots.

I once left a knife in the fork section of my kitchen drawer but remembered before I had got on the motorway.

I was one of about 50 wimbledon fans standing in the leppins lane stand 10 days before the disaster

I had tickets to an evening with Liam Trotter but had an urgent hair appointment at the last minute.

I lived near Battersea Park in the early '70s and went on the Big Dipper a lot with my art school mates. Not on 30th May 1972 fortunately.

I was off sick the day the Docklands Bomb went off and blew in all the windows of our 11th floor office several hundred yards away.

A4e-I was there in 1999 only 3 years before

The guy at Sun Microsystems that hired me as a consultant was meant to be giving a talk at a conference there on September 11th. Luckily he'd pulled out a couple of weeks beforehand but he probably beats most of us for close shaves.

Trust you visited the Barromean islands OI including the palace where they hold details of the failed peace deal between Hitler and GB brokered by Mussolini

I went to the 107th floor of the World Trade Centre in 1980…

I went on the Stresa (Italy) cable car before it failed. [Link]

Trigger - I went on the cable car in Tbilisi a couple of months ago, and thankfully I only discovered this - [Link] - afterwards

Swig - you might be correct…

That's why it was put there a4e 👍👍
