Sounds like two decent, if slightly one-sided fights, I should have stayed up but the superheavy is off the booze and saturday night tiredness put me down in the hay before 1am. Disgraceful I know.

As for this:.....

Peak activity for the Leonedis Shower

In the 2007 Observer's Handbook of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, meteor experts Margaret Campbell-Brown and Peter Brown indicate that this year's peak activity should occur on the night of Nov. 17-18. They cite 4:00 GMT Sunday, which corresponds to 11 p.m. ET and 8 p.m. PT on Saturday evening.

This is the moment when Earth will be passing closest to the orbit of the long-departed comet, and when our planet seemingly is most likely to encounter some residual comet material. This time is highly favorable for those in Europe and Africa. In contrast, for North American observers, Leo will still be below the horizon; they will have to wait until later in the night to catch the best view of the Leonids.

Should be some good S***.
Unfortunately it is now winter in Europe, so there is no chance in hell we'll be seeing anything as the permanent dark haze of rain has settled in and will be around until about March. So if I look up in the sky to see something, all I'll get is an eyeful of dirty water.
