Covid-19 positive note.....

#1 Post by snayperskaya »

Since the lockdown started and the marked reduction in traffic and industry etc there is a very noticeable difference in how clear the night sky is, I haven't seen the stars as bright as they appear now for many years and Venus is particularly bright at the moment.

The improvement in air quality is also very noticeable, as is the reduction in noise from traffic and aircraft..............

Me and the one-who-must-be-obeyed have been watching Venus every night for the last week or so.
Flat Earthers still don't have an answer for how Venus moves through the sky.

I find it bizarre that flat-Earthers think the Earth is flat but accept that the other planets and the Sun are spherical!.

I wish I could say the same. The amount of bells revving the balls off their cars on the roads and trading estate near me is doing me tits in. Never mind the scrotes on nicked crossers bombing around.

With great difficulty, it's very labour intensive and that's why soup made by turtles is so expensive.......
