See me in Reading theis weekend. :) I promise you will love it. It's nothing like a victorian freak show, but just as interesting.

@JimGB1989 I haven't been to a party in ages and you are right good ones are very rare. There was the new years party bringing in the millennium. I enjoyed that and was very, very drunk.

@VirtualAstro "I was expecting this". Well obviously, you were deliberately goading a response. And can someone tell me about the party that doesn't come with lots of awful problems? Because I've never seem one in my lifetime.

So in todays social experiment. I mentioned that you shouldn't vote for the reform party as it comes with all sorts of awful problems. The response funilly enough, came from people who would be voting that way and they were a bit miffed. I was expecting this. It's the old adage: flies will always gather around poo.

Have a fantastic night out exploring the night sky and universe beyond, in a very entertaining, informative and enjoyable way. Not to be missed!

Why on Earth do people have to tell you that they are unfollowing and make a big deal about it? If you want to unfollow, just do it. Telling the person you are unfollowing just makes you look like an idiot. As for the rest of you. Carry on 👍

This evening I rode a Lama. And it was good.

@simonbfraser You will have to ask the venue as I don’t know myself. See you there.

For the next few days, I will be contacting theatres and venues up and down the UK. If you would like The Night Sky Show to come to a theatre near you, let me know which one, or get them to contact me. 2024 is pretty much booked up and now I'm booking 2025

My first big arena show. I feel all grown up and slightly terrified. 🤣🤣🤣

Holy shit you can actually see satellites orbiting!!!

If you follow me on any social media channel, I want you to understand that I am a real person and won't just pump out astronomy and space stuff. I will sometimes talk about other things, be serious, be silly. I will sometimes make you laugh and sometimes piss you off. This is social media and mine is all shiny and nice. You need to either accept that or unfollow.

@hatternick I hear you :)

@VirtualAstro temu MAGA latching onto astronomy. Didn`t have that on my 2026 bingo card! I agree with you FWIW which i know is the square root of jack shit

@VirtualAstro Harrison Ford is 6’1” ..Peter Mayhew was 7’3” & Kenny Baker was 3’8”

@firecrestgas By ship builders if my information is correct :)

@VirtualAstro The Millenium Falcon from The Empire Strikes Back was built in my home town of Pembroke Dock.

Did you know that much of Star Wars was filmed in the UK with British Crew. It's mainly a British movie. I have had the honour of meeting some of the crew who worked on it. One of them even came to my show. I am not worthy...

@MWDevonDartmoor Yay! :)

@VirtualAstro Power to you and both your buttocks (I prefer the right one but they’re both nice).

@hughp1970 Sad times :(

@VirtualAstro It's a damning indictment of where we are today that we have to come out and say we don't like racists. 30 years ago that was a given, but we seem to have regressed to a position where it needs to be clarified.
