The full moon actually is dead bright tonight.
But if nobody had told me it was the biggest one since 1948, I doubt I'd have worked it out myself.

The papers were dead exited about it, saying it'll look so close you'll think you can touch it...

It's bright, I'll give it that, but super?

Saw it rising out at sea and it was golden, by the time it got above the cloud it was shining brightly, but noticeably bigger?

Was listening to some Astronomer/Astrologist or whatever it is and he said "if you usually get a 15" pizza and then suddenly you get a 16" pizza instead, would you for some reason call it "super?""

Basically a load of bollocks.

There was a bigger (apparently) and more golden moon last autumn and it got no publicity at all.

Bigger pizza is always more welcome than a bigger moon, what a terrible comparison

I'd be quite pleased to get a bigger pizza and call it a bit bigger. However, calling it a 'quite pleased moon' or a 'bit bigger moon' don't really work as headlines so I'd go for 'mega-moon' and imply that it had triggered a wave of werewolf attacks. Maybe include Jeremy Corbyn as a suspect and photoshop a pic of him next to a mutilated corpse.

Sorry Mr Dawes, The Daily Mail have already bought exclusive rights to it. I can do you a series of photos of Jeremy tap-dancing across the Somme though - just grafted his head onto Fred Astaire and then sellotaped it onto an old war-painting. Nobody'll notice and The Sun will have them if you don't want them.

Really? I'd imagine that with the benefit of hindsight the Daily Mail is quite keen on Blair these days.

The Sun and the other Murdoch papers were always true fans.

Rockefort is a cheese from Binic in Brittany.

Right, the John Lewis, Man on the Moon advert. Fact, an old man lives in isolation, as he probably isn't allowed near any other humans. Then he gets a "present" which he uses to stare into a young girls bedroom!

Does this have very worrying undertones?

I have to admit that old moon of ours does look really big tonight. But there again, it invariably does when it's on the horizon.
I want one of those bigass moons like you see in Sci-Fi films. Where not only are they huge but there are always two or three of them.

On the otherhand, this years John Lewis advert is very very funny. And as adverts go is worth watching.

The trampoline idea is ok but would let your kid use a trampoline were foxes have been shitting and peeing over it all night and a couple of TB ridden badgers turning up to join in the countryside disco night.... And as for the fecking squirrels, don't get me going on squirrels..... there, that's better.

You`re in luck there as we holiday that way every year, our daughter married a buddhist monk and they put down a yurt in Yprevan, which I am sure you know is the capital of Armenia.

We have travelled the area quite a lot, although my mobility scooter hasn`t the range to go too far in one day and electricity charging is not great either!

Anyway, enough about my travels, the local cheeses are limited and mostly made from sheeps milk, Motal is a soft white sheep cheese, goes well with a ritz, Sulguni is a sour pickled cheese which is often deep fried like mozzarella sticks over here and the most popular Chechil, which is similar to mozzarella and used at the local takeaways Papa Yusif`s!

We often smuggle cheese in for them as theirs is pretty rank to be fair, we are meeting them in Turkmenistan next year.
We used cheese to hide their horse from bandits, Mascarpone :)

Yes. A perfectly good thread about moons has been ruined by this person and his pedantic and misguided attempt to correct other people's cheese-references.

By the way, speaking of pedantry you stand up 'for' your principles, not 'to' them. :wink:

Can you grow a bit of lettuce on the moon to go with your Rockefort? Or does it have to be Gruyere?

I stand up to my principles all the time, can't let the buggers win.




I tend to give mine a hard time too. So does the Colonel, which is probably why he got mixed up
