Anyone see the sun tonight, no not the newspaper, the actual sun! Approximately 6.40p.m. this evening there was a, what I can only describe as a rainbow, around the sun just like it was wearing a multi-coloured halo! Wierd as f**k, never seen it before, never seen anything like it apart from obviously a rainbow, which it wasn`t because it went right the way around the sun, never read or seen anything written or filmed about such a phenomenon! Rainbows in my experience arc through rain or cloud, sometimes recorded being due to ice particles in the atmosphere but none of these more normal events surround the whole of the sun like it`s wearing a freaking halo! And no I haven`t been drinking or consuming anything else that could result in seeing something that wasn`t there because my daughter saw it as well, I wouldn`t be suprized if it makes the local or even national news papers! What the bloody hell was it? It wasn`t a rainbow!

 Sounds like a Sun Halo to me, or correctly named; a corona. This is caused by particals of ice and water in the atmosphere and have been refracted by the sun to your particular spot on the planet at that time in a different way than when appearing as a rainbow.
Stargull is your man for this and hopefully he will read this post and confirm or deny.

To be perfectly honest sounds to me like a phenomenon called smokin da weed, or maybe you been in the wife's undie draw sniffing crack. Keep the faith my friend and have you ever been abducted by aliens?

You may mock but I've found it a somewhat surreal experience being abducted by aliens...

It's just occurred to me that whenever one sees a "halo" around an object one might just be peering at it from inside one's arse.

Yellowmonkey is showing the right spirit for this forum: it's just a bit of gentle humour. We have to enjoy so many more nights of puerile, one-line insults and being good friends with all our fellow members and doing that and not making any enemies has to be the best way to enjoy our forum. That's what the boss has said. |

We have to enjoy so many more nights of puerile, one-line insults and being good friends with all our fellow members and doing that and not making any enemies has to be the best way to enjoy our forum. I will always struggle to comprehend the notion that to put an opposing point in a thrusting manner is tantamount to making a "new poster" of two years standing on the site feel unwelcome and unworthy, but that the ambience of puerility; or let's put it more kindly ~ of dumbed down bonhommie ~ is preferrable. The result is of course, that you get what we have had for the last two evenings; whereby a "last 100" scroll at 10pm reveals little more than posters thinking out loud as they listen to a match commentary and trying to replicate the oohs and aahs of the Popside, and Dave and I exchanging banalaties on our choice of Keyboard Warrior fashion last night. There are many things that bore me to scrolling on these days..................endless predictions for one, but I have to realise that some get a huge amount of pleasure from this and so I make do with the bits that stimulate me. If you really want to "do puerile" come round and listen to my missus endlessly "weeing on the phone" when her sister calls..............."oui, oui, oui, non, oui, oui - sacre couer - bloody oui............."  If I make a comment indicating that I understand what they're on about, they switch to Lingala; and if I dare to make out I've cottoned on to that too; it becomes Swahili and I'm fecked  No doubt you've got a picture of Basil Fawlty and Sybil in your head and you wouldn't be far wrong. As Mrs Merton always said, "Let's have a good debate", my God this site needs one this week! |

Glad to see your back to your self again Aussie ;D I couldnt resist lighting the touch paper on this one and seeing if you exploded  With the visions of things having Halo's and the niceness coming from you thought you may have found religion. I have to admit I agree with Merse we need a good debate and with Torquay winning everything at the moment and nothing to moan about its getting rather boring. |

That's what the boss has said. Firstly I'm not the boss just some fool who believed that as a forum consisted of people who shared the same love they could enjoy entering into good friendly debate and yes even making new friends on here. But it seems there are some who believe being a member on a forum gives them a license to be rude, insulting an take great pleasure in doing so. You can carry on and be as rude and insulting as you like from now on and when you and the others have pissed off all the other members and there are none left, please turn the lights of for me as I won't be around to be able to do so myself. |

Come off it Dave, there are few things better on a forum than a good old rumble and you know it. No-one wants to see things get out of hand, but if new posters aren't capable of taking a bit of stick and holding their own in the rough-and-tumble of debate, then I don't really think they're likely to be worth reading in all honesty. |

Dave, there will always be folk who are rude, patronising and down right offensive. How we deal with it, I don't know.
I must confess to falling off my stool when someone was given the slipper for his match reports and for not putting down his 'bench mark' for marking. Priceless.
I hope to bring to the forum this week-end the first wireless match report.
;D

But nobody HAS been rude, patronising or offensive have they Phil? Taking someone to task for making a derogatory remark about a player or asking them to quantify (you do know what quantify means do you?) their markings is nothing more than stimulating debate on a forum. Does every match report have to receive a smiley and a Blue Peter badge just for the fact that it has been submitted and be guaranteed immunity from question? By the way, this so called "new poster" Warwickgull was posting years ago on Merv's .net......................just check out the archives and see if I am wrong! |
