Anyone guess where it's going to land? (if it hasn't already)

I have a feeling it will be somewhere boring like in the sea Laughing

I'm hoping it lands on my bosses nogging!

On another note if it lands in the sea will it form some sort of mini tidle wave due to its size and the speed it hits ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROSAT

This is coming down sometime in November, too.

"It seems likely that UARS will avoid areas inhabited by humans, but the experience will be something of a dress rehearsal for a greater danger coming in November.

A German satellite telescope called Rosat is expected to re-enter with much bigger pieces, including a very large lens, still intact." BBC

Not a chance. When was the last time a plane crashing into the sea caused a tidal wave?

It's supposed to cross southern England about 10pm.
It might be worth looking out.

Possibly, you can often see the ISS space station and this is now much lower.
It will just be like a star going over unless the re-entry starts shortly before it gets back to Europe.

The latest update says they think it will hang on until early hours of Saturday.
It's hard to predict as it's tumbling randomly rather than a controlled re-entry.
