I'm not convinced it's a cult, I cannot believe these people are stupid enough to believe what they say. They are just either scared of Trump's goons or realize they are so inadequate they have no other route to power/supergrifting

Had similar 20 years ago. Needed a hotel in rural Northumberland. Walked up to reception. "Sorry, you'll have to ring central reservations in Birmingham...."

I used O'Hare every week for 5 years, relatively easy to navigate, depressing design (in the 00s anyway).

and his patronising use of "South Asian man was surprisingly helpful....South Asian.....South Asian....". Yes we grasped that you don't feel comfortable around "South Asians"

If Johnson had called it "piffle", I would know it was entirely true

I keep thinking that even Trump fans must sit and think, "A $Billion? For what? He's lost it". But I keep being disappointed

I was flying back from Paris to London. My mortgage went from just affordable to more than my salary between taking off and landing

Yep, but damages must be related to "harm" surely? $1bn would imply he thinks he suffered $1bn of harm....I just can't see harm above $15.75. He won the next election, his wealth has increased hugely (corruptly but hugely), his reputation wasn't good and could scarcely be damaged by these comments.

...and surely "what damage did he suffer?"

Save Our BBC I've just signed the petition calling on the government to stop their attack on our BBC. We need an independent national broadcaster we can trust. Please sign and share today.

Actually getting stuff done. #Labour #KeighleyandIlkley #Veterans

My best sleep was Madrid to Brussels. Unexpected snow storm. Only one de-icer in Madrid, "priority" for Spanish planes meant 5 hours on tarmac, 1 hour awake, a few gins, 5 hours asleep.... woke up as the doors opened in Brussels

I wrote most of a Masters dissertation on flights to and from Tokyo, the only distraction was smokers twitching with nicotine withdrawal panic

I think I would crisp the fat on the griddle, using tongs to get the heat directly on the fat. Tricky earlier in a pan with wine!!!

Need more open heat to crisp the fat

If you flew Aeroflot and asked for a second drink, the reaction from the cabin crew would ensure you didn't close your eyes for a week

Cabin crew sometimes panicked that I had died before take-off, shaking me awake "No-one does that"......"Yes, I do/did"

Since he won the election he claimed they were undermining him for; and he has made billions (corruptly ever since; and he had no reputation to lose; and his whole speech said very much what the edited version said, it is difficult to see what his claim is based on

It's would only be extraordinary if you had previously assumed they weren't liars and/or complete morons

I survived 30 years of flying far too often due to my superpower of being able to sleep anywhere/anytime (and a taste for alcohol if my superpower needed rebooting)

Benighted and deknighted since 1776

It was quite clever of them to find footage of Johnson NOT looking like a hungover burst mattress, to be fair

The best part of this is that the pushback is "She's being MEAN", like my grandkids aged 4

If Tesla became "worth" 1 trillion and they paid Musk 1 trillion.....they'd be "worth"....nothing

Syed has made one of the quicker transitions from "reasonably quizzical reviewer of issues" to "I said it so it must be the correct opinion of everyone"

Sorry, that just comes back to my point, there are already millions of refugees in Turkey etc, they aren't going to welcome more, all arriving with a promise of a review of UK asylum status, "sometime". It just exacerbates the problem for countries struggling to deal with refugees already

If they can safely stay where they are while applying it would make appealing for asylum/refugee status impossible

Interesting reminder. I've read all his work, but not for 15 years....maybe time again

If you believe Trump would give anyone a bonus, you're as naive as she is!

If they charged for a turn....budget crisis averted
