Ha ha, yeah, we'd travelled down from Edinburgh for the eclipse... only to 
be standing looking at the cloud. It was still pretty good though! And oh, 
Hawkwind were playing in a field later in the day and again at night, so

Glad you got to see the launch Neil!  I'm looking into putting a certain 
J.Coleman on top of a massive bomb and launching him into space should any 
more entire bleedin' tours be cancelled!
