I've said it on Facebook,
...now I'll say it here:
What on earth would possess anyone to spend 6 quid a time over the course of a year, building their own model solar system? I mean you'd have to be fucking mental!
And there's just been an old geezer on the channel4 news with a labret piercing. Cool! There's hope for me yet!
I wondered about that... We thought about going for it for one whole second. Yeah right - 52 magazines at six quid each. Not gonna happen around here!
Ah, yes... it's not even a very good orrery. I think it's got 9 planets, and their orbits are so obviously not to any kind of scale. OK, I admit that having the orbits to scale and still usefully visible would make it absurdly large, but look at how much it costs!
Kim has gone for a few of these partworks in the past, but this one is just so far past the 'utter rip off' line that it's not funny.
