Last boeing 747 rolls off the production line

The intrepid LT heading off in ‘the Sim’ again

Mad_Cyril I’m a natural, MC. Under the right conditions I could fly a shopping trolley.

LT42 Under the right conditions

Plenty of weed and some goggles?

Flying to London Friday in an attempt to circumvent the train strikes.

Just noticed the Mrs has got the passports out

Mad_Cyril I hope you lose your luggage, your flight is cancelled, and you get the rubber glove treatment at security.

Amps
We have theatre tickets, was that or drive because of the strikes.

Have you still got the Audi?

Interestingly, I do need to use my passport to board domestic flights here in China.

But I don’t think your missus, Ting-Ting Cyril, is Chinese is she?

BA advise you to take your passport even for domestic flights. I never bother and have never been asked.

It wouldn’t surprise me if it starts being a requirement due to automatic biometric gatelines.

It’s the one national biometric document everyone has (or will have), effectively an alternative to a National ID card that many countries have.

She was post-marked Taiwan when she arrived

Amps The Audi was replaced with a VW some years back

Solar powered?

Mad_Cyril No, but much better mileage than the Audi, and the next one, probably next year, will defo be an EV.

Practice what you preach then brother

Mad_Cyril I do, I don’t take internal flights.

Amps
Next time there’s an Easterly wind I’m going to spend all day flying to Liverpool and back

If it helps Amps, the flight cancelled and I’m in a cab back to London.

You do know the carbon outputs of driving solo versus flying a busy plane per mile, don’t you? At least I offset the stuff

Mad_Cyril Terrible choice, John Lennon Airport is a disgrace. Barely functioning for the most part. S to the werve. On the other hand, if you want to stick to the M62, Leeds is decent.

Along_the_Wire You do know the carbon outputs of driving solo versus flying a busy plane per mile, don’t you?

I do. No easy answers. Also, offsetting is as much a myth as plastic recycling.

Apologies, in an utterly obtuse mood. Struggling with Ableton. Tormented by the intermittent fasting and Christmas chocolates. Fantasising all day about guillotining Tories and their pay masters. Early night for me.
