    i did drive to work thinking about this and if it landed near me in a field and the type of quote i should give the press (sad but it's a boring commute)

    i came up with

    "it was like the watching superman landing on earth again"

    In our house, we have what we call "Illegitimate child" luck. (changed by the swear filter....)

    So, knowing our luck, it will come down close enough to us to cause as much massive inconvenience and damage as possible, but it won't land on me or my house because that would lead to either time off work or a massive compensation payout from NASA, and I'm not that fortunate to get either of those things.

    The glass isn't half-full, or half-empty, it is smashed to smithereens and the contents spilled everywhere.

    It actually fell onto my lorry last night , i will be selling bits on Ebay in the next few days , i have had permission from NASA and have a special handwritten letter from Neil Armstrong stating that the US government have decided i am in a far better position than them financially , so have asked me to sell it on their behalf .

    The bits of ex orbit steel are in fact German and look remarkably like the steel used on my van , strangely similar in fact , nonetheless £90 will get you a 5" piece of sattelite mounted and signed by Yuri Gargarin for your living room , pm me if your interested !.

    Nothing came down in the Ashdown forest today so that was a safe place to be.

    Not all of it apparently. Still a few more bits left. Bit like the restoration of a bus. Near yet so far with just a few more bits left :)
