...is ust loving watching the trains go by - 40 floors above Yongsan station.

...there was a lot of jet activity above Daejeon earlier...

GoooooooOOOD Moorning South Koreaaaa!

I know the site needs advertising (there's nowt for nowt in this world) but I have just opened VNC and a load of noise issued fourth about PS4 and “it's about the driver”. Really annoying, as I could not locate the offending (offensive) window, initially. It also makes RMweb unsafe for viewing at work.

Hmmm... Pork Cracklin

8*8*6 = 2^7*3 = 384 cubic inches = cake

“Attention all hands – this is the purser”, “Cabins come fully equipped and if you wish to 'purchase' items from your cabin, the following charges apply :- bathrobe = €50, Kettle = 110, Coffee m/c = €130, Plaid = €80, Cushion = €50 each, Oreiller =€60.” “Items are charged in the currency of the last major port of call.”, “That is all.”

Helm here sir. Yes Helm? I know where we are sir. Well done Helm. No sir, I mean yes sir, I mean I know where Proxima Centauri is in its orbit in relation to our trajectory from the Terran system. Well done again Helm. It's on it's closest approach to the Terran system so we will reach Proxima Centauri before Alpha Centauri A and B.

Which filthy Blugbatterbeast in the Galley has given me Space-Flue and Rations Poisoning? OPS, you have the CON. Helm, don't crash into anything, Tactical, try and sort out the Air-Locks. Science Mechanoid NGT6 designation 1315, stop pressing bl00dy buttons. I'm off on an inspection of all the Heads on route to my cabin.

...Helm! Where exactly did you say you graduated from? Sir, the HK&LB School of Navigation. “HK&LB” you say? Yes sir, with honours sir. Can't say I've heard of that one Helm. No sir, it's “The Hard Knocks & Loud Bangs School of Navigation”, sir, quite famous sir...

Sir, just leaving the Terran system's Sun's Heliopause boundary and entering the ISM. Our trailing log indicates that we have travelled ~0.7 Parsecs or 2.28 light years with just under 2 more to go - sir. Watch, anything out there? ZZZzzz... Watch!

COM, I'm issuing an executive order to the Galley to jettison that batch of “Tartare du Thon” through the starboard airlock – I'm convinced it's not cooked! Sir, the port airlock is still full of Tomato Source and you want the Starboard one filling with raw tuna. No, just “Tartare du Thon”. (Sniggers.)

Helm! What's happening? Nothing sir. Unless include hurtling along at an ungodly speed in a tin-can and just about to enter the Oort Cloud. Steady as she goes then Helm, Watch, er, keep watching. Sir, permission to change from AU to Parsecs?

Officer of the watch! Why the hell did you let me sleep in this morning? Well sir, you shout at us if we disturb you. Well yes, but I was 15 minutes away from missing the schedule. As it happens, I just managed to make the required changes with 4 minutes to spare!

Easy as it goes helm. Watch? Sir. Keep a good look out. We're approaching the densest part of the asteroid belt now. Sir? Scanners show the nearest appreciable piece of rock at over 30,000km away.

Ok, whilst nothing is happening, take the Heisenberg Compensators offline and re-calibrate them. What to sir? The right value of course you idiot!

Ok helm, park it at the L4 point for the third rock from the Sun. If we can't find a good boozer from there then we'll move to L5 before giving up and head for Proxima Centauri instead. I've heard some good things about Red Dwarf.

Today’s itinerary included an A318 and an A319. Whilst transferring I saw a Concorde, 7 A380s and no 747s. At the destination was a Lockheed Constellation with its distictive triple tail! (Lots of other stuff too but did not take note.)

Yer dinners in'thoven!

Well, that didn't take long!

I've just bought a “Poundland” Electric Insect Zapper. I've measured the potential difference between the inner and outer meshes to be 1.22kV (into a 1G Ohm load.) What can possibly go wrong?

Just had a visit from Harry the hedgehog. First one since I moved here. Our gardens arn't Hedgehog friendly so me and my 9yr old moved him to the fields at the end of the street.

Utch up!
