Just found this out:-
Mercury transit due
People in Thailand and across Asia, Europe and East Africa will be able to view a rare event next week as the planet Mercury moves across the face of the Sun.
Voravit Tanwuthibandhit, a member of the Thai Astronomy Association, said the partial solar eclipse, on May 7, would begin in Bangkok at 12.13pm and finish at 5.29pm.
Those interested in viewing it directly were advised to watch through black tinted glasses, he said.
It was a rare event and had not been seen from Earth for over 100 years.
Another interesting juxtaposition would occur on Aug 27, when Mars would be the closest to Earth in 59,540 years. From that day, Mars could be seen with the naked eye from dusk to dawn over the eastern horizon for about one month, he said.
Hardly life changing info but could be interesting.... oh ya on may the 8th Pete Tong is playing at the Ministry of Sound here in Bangers so I think we gotta get some tickets don't you?
