Told a colleague who’s about the same age as me that I was going to watch The Fast Show tonight. She had no idea what I was talking about. Brought up in uk as well. 😮

Here is the X5.1 flare in straight EUV light. We are looking at the 193 Å "gold" filter here. The flare is the bright flash, and immediately, you can see a giant blast wave racing through the Sun's corona, lifting tons of plasma into space as an Earth-directed CME.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

October was a busy month with gigs & shows so I’m really enjoying a rest day filled with copious amounts of tea, the puzzle section of the I weekend paper & I’ve got a lovely piece of cake to eat later. I’ve also got my window open for some fresh air & the neighbourhood is mostly quiet. Ahhh

Just watched The Elephant Man for the first time. What a brilliant film! And what a cast!
