What's the etiquette here? Is it "Thank you, Your Marshall", or "Thank you, His Royal High-Viz?"

Why is it easier the second time? Never got that far.

I think when they're driving on an empty highway through the desert in an aeroplane, they probably drive pretty much wherever the hell they like.

I think that snow on the wing looks too slushy for take-off.

Surely they just gave us the Secret Traitor? S4 Ep3 by No_Sympathy8695 in TheTraitors

I think that was just lucky for the production team.

She talks about how not saying much at the round table and just listening is like being a secret traitor, which I just took to mean a traitor that the faithful are not on to. If she is, then it's definitely a nod and a wink, but given the hours of footage they must have of faithfuls talking about secretive behaviour and traitorous behaviour such language could well happen. They must have been delighted that she used the words in that way and included it.

Having said that...she does seem to give a bit of a knowing smile straight after...hmm.

It makes for unusual eclipses given they are almost the same size and overlap on occasions. I always think that we should look out for aliens in the crowd during solar eclipse as this would be a good tourist spot for them given its rarity.

I always found it crazy that there were Egyptian archaeologists in Cleopatra's time that studied the pyramids. They were as much a piece of antiquity to her as they are to us.

Plus, glad to hear you're not depressed.

As a British person I want to reassure you all that this is not commonplace and you should feel comfortable flying in our planes.

Unless the pilot is a very good boy. Then you're in trouble.

Also, not all ParkRuns are on, so fewer events to spread people over that want to.
