Hi all I've just had word from the bunkers part time astronomer and bar tender fat Kev that there's the mother of all comets coming this way, kev says it going to be up to a magnatude of -16 which means it's going to be much brighter than a full moon, it's going to get to us by late 2013 so I'll keep you all updated as much as I can but it should be an amazing sight. Oh yeah the comets name or ident is C/2012 S1 and it will be here November 2013.

Hi Mell,
Thanks for telling us about this.
I just googled it, and it sounds as though it will be amazing.

If the news about the comet was broken by Fat Kev, are you sure he wasn't talking about the 7th Egg of Destiny which used to sit on the bar of the Cane and Able :?: No-one knows where it's gone now, so it could be hurtling around in space for all we know :shock:0

Bloody hell Joan. You're in the Cane and Able again.
Is you know who thinking of making a comeback?0 -
