Just got a quick peek at it. Technology dept were passing around welding masks.
I'm not anti-social; I'm just not user friendly.

Saw it from the streets of Belfast. It was hazy but you could see the shadow going across the sun pretty clearly when looking at it via a reflection in some glass.  Used my phone to take a photo but it was pretty useless even with the brightness down full.
