Who are Zecharia Sitchin and Nancy Lieder ?? ( no i'm not joking.) I've heard the names for the first time on here.

Walks with dogs.
It's most definitely not you.
I missed a pretty big meteor shower in Jan thanks to clouds - I was DYING to get out to see that. Not pleased.
I've also been bouncing off the walls wanting to go out the last few days and nothing but cloud - maybe cloud cover is proportional to desire after all.
To be honest my intent wasn't to imply that you're one of their cultists, it was a genuinely well-meaning piece of advice.
In the words of the Skeptics Dictionary, Zecharia Sitchin, Immanuel Velikovsky and Erich von Daniken make up the holy trinity of pseudohistorians. You might want to read this:

Though I've no doubt there are many pages dedicated to explaining why he's a bad one to follow.
The jist is that his claims would make every legitimate scholar in the field wrong in their translations, it would make evolution wrong (or at least, engineered by aliens from nibiru), and also demonstrates a clear lack of awareness of the most basic astronomical facts. In short, he is pretty much the least trustworthy (published) source going as far as science is concerned, and according to the historical community, pretty rubbish in that respect as well. He is your stereotypical conspiracy theorists, believing that either all others in the field are ignorant and he alone is enlightened, or that they are all under the thrall of the evil powers that be, and he alone is immune.
Ok, maybe not the least trustworthy source, and in comes Nancy Lieder! She believes that she is essentially being communicated with telepathically or somethingorother by aliens called Zeta Reticulans. Firstly, she claimed that a planet was gonna zoom by around six years ago and wipe out most life on earth. I for one didn't hear about that happening. She also denied that Hales comet was a comet, and insisted it was an exploding star IIRC. Trust me, it was a comet, I remember it well

Also worth reading, and you can check her archives and google archives to see what she's modified in her site to seem cleverer than she is.

Indeed... what better way to spend an afternoon than watching 22 sweaty young men run around in shorts, hugging each other when a goal is scored, and then all popping back to the communal showers afterwards.
Nothing gay about that, no siree, not at all.
Reality shaped by conciousness. Quantum Physics in it's most frustating form.
I'd say it was more likely the string of Lows crossing from Canada, between us and Iceland then on to the Arctic, north of Norway and bringing with them Fronts that roll over us bringing in cloud that stops up against the pennines, but I'm no weather man
We're just about to get the 4th or 5th front in quick succession (already feeling the effects of it here) and a couple more to follow in the next 48 hours or so. With luck the High over France might bring us a touch of clear/fine weather after that though but I won't be holding my breath as the charts get less and less accurate the further ahead you look.
The forecast is for clear/cloudy skies tonight so I may well get a peek at the stars.
As for the 27th, though cloud is forecast again - I might have to check the forecast elsewhere and be ready for a bit of a road trip then.
Haha - the smiley would have been handy.
For a moment I thought it was serious - but that's the risk you run when you talk about tin-foil-hat material in public (I should know - I believe some of the tin-foil-hat material myself! Haha).
You have it clear becase we get all the flippin clouds!!! AAARGH! I need to move. I don't like Manchester ANYWAY!
There's nothing light about our cloud cover either.
