So much needless hype building up to it.

I remember when I heard about it a few days ago, my thought was "oh, lucky for spain and thought nothing more.

Then the next thing I'm hearing is "96% in UK, ohmygosh" and BBC gushing over it like it was going to be the next biggest thing.

I saw the sky darken slightly. Cool. 2 hours well spent.

Ah yes, because expressing joy at a rare natural phenomenon is a sure sign of the downfall of humanity.

Your cynicism is worse than their clapping. Let people enjoy things.

I don't think he was being cynical; more like taking the mick out of the previous post.
