I'm sure lots of you will have heard about this by now, but in case you've not - there's going to be the best solar eclipse since 1999. The thing peaks at half past nine in the morning, and will last just over an hour in all. Here's hoping for clear skies. The Glasgow page of this handy wee website:...
Somebody's been very busy. Over at http://www.scottishshale.co.uk they've uploaded a pile of digitised stuff from the BP archives. Worth a browse. Among other things, the Scottish Oils / Shell-Mex pavilion at the 1938 Empire Exhibition: http://www.scottishshale.co.uk/DigitalAssets/pdf/BP/212578.pdf ...

I'm sitting in your jacket lining, in the heat of the sun shining in through the window and guess what? I don't give a fuck. Yeah, I've opened my eyes and see you taking a photo.

Maybe I'm being oversensitive about it all, but I feel a bit of discomfort with the idea of taking photos of people who are as far down as those in the first pic, especially as the guy in the middle seems to be trying his best to stay out of shot.
