I think that might have been mentioned in Vol.1 "Is that when the sun goes between the Earth and the Moon?"

Well, if the Sun does go between the Earth and the Moon, it will definitely change the climate.

At the risk of being a pedant, you do get Lunar Eclipses, it’s when the shadow of the Earth falls on the moon. Often called a “blood moon” due to the red colour as what sunlight there is has passed through the atmosphere.

The weedkiller bottle comes with a handy clear plastic dosing cap, marked in 100ml increments. Mrs K spotted it on the shelf in the shed and purloined it for the kitchen.
I seized it back, she's just thrown a strop because I dared use her 'new' measuring cup to dose out weedkiller.

Yes well, that was sort of my point …

Perhaps I should have said “… man made climate change”

Would the sun actually fit between Earth and the moon?

No. (This is assuming that we are ignoring the fact that if it got that close the sun would simply consume both the earth and the moon and then there would be enough room …)

Rookie error not printing the ticket.
I haven't printed any tickets since airlines started putting ads on the printable version.

So not only do they expect me to pay for ink and paper for the ticket, but also to pay to print ads? Not a chance.

Return trip was keyed off our passports, so didn't need the booking number.

Indeed

For the sake of 10 mins I print all key forms, I know my luck with phone signal, chargers, and Apple iOS offloading the app that I actually needed.

Printed here - had enough of all these fking 'apps' that don't work properly at the point you need them to.

I swear a chunk of the queues at the airport 2 weeks ago were caused by apps not working properly or quickly...

if i don't print it I will at the very least actually download it, or print screen the entire ticket so I have a jpg on my phone (and other people's) in the event that data/signal isnt working

i've had enough panic moments out of signal area where my 'e-ticket' ends up just being a fking screenshot in the camera roll. Not very 'e'.

I am aware of the lunar eclipse, but at the risk of also being a pedant, 'Total Eclipse of the Moon' is not a Bonnie Tyler song.

a lunar eclipse isn't an eclipse OF the moon - it's still an eclipse of the sun... just BY the moon.
