Hmm, couple of things. That quote appears to be from this Guardian article (please do correct me if i'm wrong on this):

Agreed. For me in travelling around you discover two things, 1) People are all different, with incredibly varied histories, cultural identities and regional idiosyncracies, everyone has a story and there is, as they say, no such thing as an ordinary life and 2) People are basically the same the world over and mostly…

Yeah we're not overfond of that either. Most mistakes of that nature from foreigners will lead to a conversation and/or lively pub debate about the countries of the UK, Ireland, the Isle of Man etc. but calling a Scot English will likely only lead to a (hopefully) polite but definitely firm correction, with how firm…

I didn't know that about the kinda sorta dual citizenship, that's interesting. But yeah, I think that could be true about the levels of independence and something I often forget - from the UK it's all just "America" but in fact as you say in some ways the US is closer to a bunch of separate countries which have a lot…

Scotland and England are countries, not regions ("constituent countries of the UK" if you prefer).

I think the best figures put the incidence of false accusations at around 1.5 - 3% in fact although the data are slightly unclear (the waters are muddied partly by research on the topic from the 70s and 80s being pretty redolent of, being extremely charitable, "attitudes of their time" AKA profound sexism).

He's clearly got a lot more than that since he's built a private space enterprise virtually from scratch in about a decade but I do think he overpromises. I'd be pretty amazed if this happens by the end of next year for the reasons Simon DelMonte states (they haven't even orbited a human yet, nevermind left LEO in a…

Is that really accurate ? As far as I can tell their launch success rate is just over 93% compared to around 95% as an industry average. Granted, a 7% chance of death might be too much for some people (it'd give me pause and i'm pretty keen to go to space) but so long as all concerned know the risks…

Hey, they're people too right ?

Yeah, a couple of pretty minor tweaks but basically the same.

Yeah, pretty much.

If you literally mean always you've got yourself an actual gift there. Has to be some way to get rich off it surely ?

The only woman so far to win twice too.

Particularly when your Dad gave you a big leg-up initially.

Sure but if we have to pick just one…

Or with a camera, we're easy.

For me the word that springs most readily to mind is the one often associated with the phrase "See you next Tuesday".

"Have I got News for You" you mean ? From around 1996:

Is he not on that zombie show on Sci-Fi too ?

You know what they call The Professional in Paris ?
