A few days ago Mrs BigBruvOfEnglandUK spotted something on the internet that said the International Space Station would be flying overhead at about 6:35 that evening and we should be able to see it coming from the north-east and heading south-west.
It's winter (Or maybe autumn?) here now so it gets dark early.
She actually set her alarm on her phone to make sure she we didn't miss it.
I spotted it first. It seemed to be moving quite quickly. As it headed towards us it looked like a very bright light but once it had passed overhead it wasn't so bright. Apparently this is because the brightness was actually the sun reflecting off of it and as it passed overhead we were now seeing the shaded side.
I'm not expecting loads of replies. Just felt like boasting, m8s.

Her doctors were so impressed by the research that they declared it was instrumental in arresting her MM recurrence. That made my day. |

Were you aboard the space station whilst performing the research? |

Were you aboard the space station whilst performing the research? The whole point was bragging rights or feeling proud about one self. They said I’m not a good candidate. So space station research is out of the question for me. Maybe the aliens would prefer a kidney or spleen from me instead? |

They should have thought to fly Bruv over to spot the lost submersible that was trying to find the Titanic. The Pakistani billionaire aboard it might have rewarded him quite generously. Terrible tragedy.

Terrible tragedy. I feel particularly bad for the billionaire's 19 year old son... It’s now surfacing (pun intended) about how there were so many dire warnings beforehand from people within the diving community of the Titan submersible's high potential for catastrophic failure. |

Diversity killed them.....the CEO said they didn't want any "50 year old white guys" working on the project, so no former real submariners on the project www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12219265/Stockton-Rush-said-didnt-hire-50-year-old-white-guys-NOT-inspirational.htmlHope they like Davey Jones Locker.....they should just leave The Titanic alone, it's a graveyard after all, let those people Rest In Peace |

Sounds very similar to other popular present day anti-white corporate policies...
From the link:
Titanic tour CEO Stockton Rush said he didn't hire '50-year-old white guys' because they were NOT 'inspirational'
Translation: Experienced and highly capable SMART older white guys will probably see right through managements line of total bullshit and object to it; so instead let's surround ourselves with 'diverse' and obedient mediocrity, cross our fingers and just roll the dice...

This is the perfect example of "diversity" imploding....why hire the best when you can be "inspirational" and make the idiot liberals happy at the same time ? This was a trip for the truly stupid  The fool CEOs quote will go down as the best laugh since Custer said that he had the Indians surrounded  |

This is the perfect example of "diversity" imploding....why hire the best when you can be "inspirational" and make the idiot liberals happy at the same time ? This is probably the main reason why when I took an 'occupational detour' into the large corporate controlled world I just didn't fit in with the brainwashed douchebags because of my habit of saying out loud what my thoughts are while at the same time refusing to kiss anyones ass. A few instances come to mind, like when we got a new phaggy looking 'manager' of engineering, and I started to fill him in on all of the mechanical discrepancies and other 'fuck ups' I found at the facility since I first started working there the year before. Instead of embracing what I was informing him of, he seemed offended by my presence, and all he did was look at me and say "Why do you talk to me like you already know me?"... I was like "Hey dude, I couldn't care less if you are who you are or even if you're the fucking pope, I don't have time for nonsense and I'm trying to help you out here. So if going forward there's an issue with that I'll just go clean out my desk and be on my way"... These types of corporate trained clowns aren't used to a 'subordinate' talking back to them, so he thought about it while visibly squirming, probably debating in his head whether or not I was bluffing....And then after about 5 seconds, in his best corporate approved voice said: "And that's what I like about you"  |

I saw it a few years ago when there was a British astronaut and it was all over the news. I looked at it through binoculars a few times, apparently if you get a good steady look at it it can look like two rectangles but for me leaning against a hedge holding binoculars it only looked like one rectangle. BTW I'm talking about Mox's colleague.
