Perhaps someone could arrange a second hit ~ except bigger this time!

'Biggest UK meteorite' hit Scotland

'Biggest UK meteorite' hit Scotland

Evidence of the biggest meteorite ever to hit the British Isles has been uncovered in Scotland.
Scientists believe the meteorite struck about 1.2 billion years ago near the town of Ullapool in the north west Highlands.
They found what they believe to be ejected material from a meteorite crater beneath a layer of rock.
They said the material had scattered over a distance of about 30 miles.
It had previously been thought that the unusual rock formations in the area had been formed by volcanic activity.
But the volcanic origins of the rock have always been questioned because there are no volcanic vents or other volcanic sediments nearby.
The findings were made by scientists from Oxford and Aberdeen universities, and feature in the journal Geology.
Ken Amor of Oxford University's department of earth sciences, and co-author of the Geology paper, said chemical tests had shown signs of meteoritic material.
He said: "This is the most spectacular evidence for a meteorite impact within the British Isles found to date, and what we have discovered about this meteorite strike could help us to understand the ancient impacts that shaped the surface of other planets, such as Mars."
He added: "If there had been human observers in Scotland 1.2 billion years ago they would have seen quite a show."

Leighton James in Cardiff FA Cup storm

Mar 14 2008 by Steve Tucker, Western Mail

WELSH soccer legend Leighton James has kicked up a potential storm by stating he wants Barnsley to beat Cardiff City in the FA Cup.
The TV pundit made his remarks in his column for a local newspaper.
Although James was writing for an audience of Swans’ fans, such comments from a high-profile football character are hardly likely to endear him to other soccer followers.
If the Bluebirds reach the FA Cup final, it would do wonders in terms of putting Welsh football on the world map.
James’ remarks also came just 24 hours after Uefa boss Michel Platini announced he wanted the European exile of our Big Three of Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham to end.
In his column for the South Wales Evening Post, James wrote that 99.9 per cent of Swans fans would be willing Barnsley to win the big semi-final next month.
James, left, argued that if Roberto Martinez’s side were in the last four, Cardiff supporters would want the Swans to lose.
“It’s a difficult one to choose,” wrote James. “On one hand, as a proud Welshman, you want the clubs from your country to go as far as they can.
“Imagine the uproar if a Welsh team won the FA Cup and took it out of England.
“On the other hand, as a Swansea person, you want Tykes boss Simon Davey – who is a Swansea person – to do well too.
“We always want to see our hometown products doing well, and I’m sure the people of Swansea will want him to reach the final.
“To see Cardiff in the final would be hard to take for Swansea fans.
“So, to be brutally honest, I think I’m behind Barnsley on this one.”
