"Happening around sunset, so are glasses really necessary? Ibiza is getting a total eclipse just as the sunsets. I chill out there almost every summer, except this summer. Well, it will probably be cloudy anyway. "Yes specific glasses are really necessary. Otherwise turn your phone camera to selfie, your back to the sun and watch it that way, wat h it on telly, use a pinhole camera thing or smoky glass. Or even don't look at all but do not look directly at the sun with the naked eye | |||

"It's very cloudy here, that might spoil it You will get the reference I am about to make but as many will Last time I remember it getting that dark in the daytime.. thunder Thursday I just looked that up. I think I'd rather have an eclipse. " It was a nightmare afternoon/evening. I got home after a horrendous drive through what seemed like rivers only for my next door neighbour to grab me to ask for help moving furniture and lifting carpets if my house hadn't flooded like theirs. Luckily for me their conservatory redirected the water flow away from my house but unfortunately into theirs. Obviously I helped because I'm a nice guy (honest) and they were really nice neighbours. | |||

"Didn’t bother buying any eclipse glasses for this one but still had my old ‘DO NOT use after August 11th 1999’ ones so used those. Not everything they say will make you go blind makes you go blind? "But where not tested for y2k compatibility, did you pay for the upgrade | |||

"Only seen one before in 1999, and it's not going to happen in the UK for another 50 years so it will probably be my last chance to see one, so why not spend the effort. " Yes, you are right there, we have to wait for another 50 years for the next one too | |||
