What's wrong with people, I was walking through Bury this morning during the eclipse and one woman said to another "aren't the birds supposed to all go mad now?". fking retards!

Am I due a whoosh? The birds think it's nighttime so do shut up and go to bed, don't they...?

Another eclipse one.

I mentioned this mornings solar eclipse.
She replies.. "Which one was it ?"
ME... " The one where the moon passes between us and the sun"
HER..." What's the other one called, the one where the sun comes in front of the moon ?"

Armageddon springs to mind

Nope. During the last full eclipse it went dark mid morning (properly dark, like night time) and the birds (seagulls anyway, I was on the coast) went absolutely nuts! Screaming and flying about in a panic.

Quiet maybe as they think it's night time. Not 'mad' as the simpleton seemed to think. In anycase, I didn't think it went that dark. Went cold though.

I think even birds would twig (yes) that they'd only just got up.

Brilliant.

Oh and about the birds - they did shut up for 5 or 10 mins round here.

My sister came out with a good one yesterday, trying to describe a house with a waterwheel.

'It's got a wheel on that moves the river..'

My wife puts the caps back on glass bottles for recycling.
When i asked why, she said its so the recyclers wouldn't have to try to find a cap that fits.

I asked MrsVX "If someone had the nickname 'Lofty' how would you describe them?"

Expected an answer of "tall" or "short"

I got "they really like Eastenders?"

Not my Mrs, but female at work describe being scared as a child...apparently she went as white as a sheep.

I think these are my favourites!

I heard a woman in the supermarket, gossiping to her mate, and saying that the news she had was "hot off the potato."

I had an ex-that often mixed metaphors - 'Not worth the weight in gold it's written on' was a classic of hers.

On landing in Dubai for the first time, 'The heat hit me like a tropical blanket'. I just had visions of a blanket with Pineapples and Toucans printed on it.

Nope. During the 1999 total eclipse it went as dark as night and the birds didn't go to sleep, they went 'mad', flying around screeching.

It didn't go dark where I was (Pembrokeshire). It was just cloudy and crap.

I can't remember it going dark during the 1999 eclipse, same as the recent one. It did go cold though.

If I remember rightly you had to be in the south west to get the full eclipse. It did get dark as night though, and go cold. It was like nightfall speeded up 10 times, really freaky.
