Weirdly, we are at (trade) war with Eastasia.

What a lovely image to remember him by. Great job!
Somewhere in the North Sea: "Kapitan-Leytenant, we have discovered a new experimental craft called HMS ShitBird, appears to have undetectable propulsion systems and carries a significant biological payload"
Somewhere in Thames Water HQ: "yeah mate we fixed the blockage, we just managed to dislodge Barry from Kettering's massive jobby and let it out into the sea"
She does it well, so there's that.
Awesome. I am - at best, out of the loop in entertainment news: and at worst, culturally retarded - so I was sat at LCY with a colleague and he was pointing out famous chefs, golfers, public figures every five minutes.
I was still trying to figure out how anyone affords either to eat or drink at the airport without being on business expenses.
For celeb-spotting and transit links: London City Airport. It's nice being able to check your bags and fuck off into Stratford for a few hours. It's super expensive though.
For a chill experience: London Southend Airport. Not in London, but loads of seating, decent views across the tarmac, and loooaaads of room.
For getting lost: Washington Dulles. Christ that place was designed by Stevie Wonder in a house fire. The sheer number of destinations is wonderous though fair play, a great place to feel like a tiny cog in a huge machine.
Edinburgh is a banger. Great support for families, spacious, and generally chill - decent transport links too.
The departures lounge is starting to sprawl with retail now though, but can't have everything I suppose.
I dunno man. I think if you were to ask that young lad in ten weeks; ten months; ten years...
At first, I was like "that geezer is hard as fuck, seen more shit than one dude should ever see, and is sat there totally chill"...
...and then his lad started crying and felt the complete opposite.
That poor kid has been traumatised for years and did fuck all to deserve it.

I'm not planning on a burial, but those biodegradable cardboard coffins look pretty awesome, and they're (comparatively) cheap as fuck too.
My plan is to get cremated - but it would be great to either sneak in some petrol into the casket, or pay the funeral directors to go for a two minute walk while someone packs my casket with fireworks or other low-explosive compounds.
At best, it'll put on one last show - and at worst it'll give the crematorium staff member a hell of a shock.
A colleague of mine is a nice bloke, but proper stuck in his ways.
He's done well for himself, lovely family, and has saved enough to treat them all to nice holidays across the world... but all he does is eat burger and chips while he's there.
He's been across Route 66, been to Rome, Paris, and some of the Baltic states... even been on cruises to faraway places, but trying some of the amazing local cuisine is just a step too far for him.
It's wild. That said, he enjoys himself so good on him I guess.
