BUT, I'm just so thrilled, I've just seen the International Space Station fly over us. It's my first time seeing it and I am just chuffed to bits, even Mr Cinds got caught up in my geeky buzz.
Next mission, is to photograph it.

Are you sure someone didn't throw something over your garden??
We were on a river boat cruise,
"And over there is a Great Crested Grebe"
As we got closer - it was a Pepsi Max bottle 
Yes, I'm very sure. I take these things very seriously and know exactly what I saw.
It takes the ISS about 90 minutes to orbit the earth, if you go out in your garden in about 1 hour look south, and then watch the sky from the west, look for a light that is travelling quite fast from west to East in the sky (remember it orbits 200 miles above the Earth and travels at 17500 mph), so it looks like a star, but you can visibly see it moving with the naked eye.
I think it's brilliant, but I do appreciate not everyone has the same enthusiasm.
In the garden - in the dark !!!
I could get raped !!!

Its not your fault you don't.
But its good you recognise it as humour
We're making progress
ISS will be passing over the UK in the next 20 minutes. If you have a good view of the sky from where you are, go out and have a look for it. If you are on or close the to south coast it will be going over you at 90 degrees, basically straight up, the further north you are, the lower in the sky it will be.

You didn't answer my question!
Maybe some other sad bastards will find rape and 'Paki' jokes amusing

Aww Saint's allright 
He didn't actually tell the joke.
Humour not joke. In context
You could always block me

Wooahhh, where did that come from? I'll openly admit I'm not his biggest fan, but I cannot ever remember him making jokes about or using the P word.

I did ask if I could tell a racist joke
But in context it was poking fun at a very serious Ukip thread
I asked why were there no Pakistani footballers
With no intention of finishing the 'joke'
It was merely as an antidote to a serious dicussion
And in context nothing more than that

Nah, you are a helpful and constant thorn reminder that there are people on the interweb who pretend to be someone they aren't but can't help 'leaking'

Cloud cover over West of Newcastle is quite heavy

What's up with you tonight? Saint didn't make actually make the joke [and you shouldn't use that "P" word here, its as offensive as saying the the "N" word].
And he didn't make a rape joke above, its the sort of thing you hear every day and I'd say it myself.

Yes, it visibly moves.
Cloud cover here is total as it is raining, so I have no chance!
Let me look again - the neighbours are gonna think I'm nuts

In which case you're, surprisingly, as bad as him......he didn't actually say it but implied it
Sorry can't see anything moving - except my vision cos looking up is making me giddy.
Shame cos the cloud is lifting

No, I just see you for, at best, the disingenuous person that you are..how old are you now btw and how many 'caring roles' have you worked within?
I'm ok with you thinking that.
No use us talking - best to go our own ways

And best you avoid the question
The more observant amongst you will have noticed that I got wronged for going off topic elsewhere.
Once again it's one law for the members of the boss class/rich list, and one law for us mere political scientists.
