    Anyone see the orange glow in the sky just now ? 20.15 11/10/10.

    Looked like a hot air balloon in the distance to me. My son said it fairly big overhead and it changed direction. I only saw it from a distance.

    Whereabouts are you?
    I hope it wasn't my hubby being abducted by aliens - he's gone out for a walk.

    Explains why they didn't stick around too long. Who'd come all the way over here to see a bunch of piss heads and junkies?

    It's the glow of the moon reflecting off all those annoying Jacob's Taste Bud people roaming around Dublin.

    I just assumed it was FF burning the evidence of their utter incompetence, and told the kids to stop looking and get in to bed.
