OT. Why bother with Norway?

"The Sun has unleashed its strongest flare in four years, observers say.

The eruption is a so-called X-flare, the strongest type; such flares
can affect communications on Earth.

Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft recorded an intense
flash of extreme ultraviolet radiation emanating from a sunspot.

The British Geological Survey (BGS) has issued a geomagnetic storm
warning, and says observers might be able to see aurorae from the
northern UK."

Might be interesting in far Northern climes ... maybe the intrepid
explorers might see the aurora anyway.

PS, this isn't a piss-take, I have nothing but admiration for both
their level of eccentricity and size of cojones for what they've done.

 

Well, there's your answer. It's Norway or the northern UK.

Norway every time.

<touch wood> Seems to have gone by without any problems. Find out if
anything broke overnight in a bit.

 

Sorry, are we talking about Timo?

 

Nah, if it were Timo it'd be "find out what broke ..."

 

Something may happen Friday

Speak for yourself. I had a flat tyre this morning! Gonna see if I can
get an ASBO on the sun.

 

Yep, that would fit, because nobody wants to leave early Friday!
