For those of you that like to celebrate old-school.

Happy Solstice at 11:12am today.

Anyone been to Stonehenge for a Solstice?
I went for the Summer one about 8-9 years ago and luckily the weather was good enough with no cloud for an actual sunrise over Salisbury Plain through the main arch. Even if you don't really care about it, it's one of only 2 chances during the year when you can get up close to the stones. They are a lot bigger in person than they appear.

!m!

I went there when I was a child in the mid 1970's. In those days you could go right up to the stones and walk among them and even touch them. Never been for a Solstice though.

Happy new beginning. (I actually like this. Make this 21st a day of new beginning each year).
Well the Thargoids didn't come today. Wait! What is that disc there behind the moon? :shock: :o :) :D :mrgreen:

(Pic by Smivs: Sorry Smivs. I've grabbed a screenshot of your site of the disc. I'm running through the mission myself atm but haven't encountered it yet ;)).
