I have to wonder whether he's related to the British Pork family.

that same logo in its original blue and red colours, which happens to be the literal flag of the British Union of Fascists

Top tip: to avoid having the British Union of Fascists logo on the side of your mock-up train, don't use horrible text-to-image AI slop instead of actual designers and artists.

The only time I've been to Lyon so far was a prolonged stop on the Paris to Milan TGV. During said stop, one of my mains adapters blew up, which I'm guessing was the result of a power surge when chainging Voltages! Moral of this story: don't use TGV sockets in a station!

If you could keep the pen exactly that distance away and have it here, the pen would fit inside the box.

Using my Micro scooter with my (heavy) laptop in a rucksack on my back. Hit a bump, went flying and landed on my hand with enough force to bend my glasses out of shape. The hinge went into my forehead and the frames almost sliced my ear off. Spent the morning in A&E having my ear stitched together!

If next year's Christmas special involves past Doctors turning up in Albert Square, we'll know we're in a time loop.

I've done something similar en route to Venice, but it was the middle of March so it was pitch black when we crossed the Alps! I got some great views on the Milan to Geneva Eurocity train coming back, though.

I seem to recall that the Empress of Mars was going to have a line about Peladon taking back control but it never made it to screen.

I'm surprised that someone hasn't done London to Paris in 4 minutes yet! Or even 3 1/2.
