The nightjet picks people up throughout the night, so you don’t get so much the side to side gentle wobble of a cruiser as the start and go jolt. I don’t know how it is on the Caledonian though, but glad you had a better experience.

Yeah, like if you want to try for yourself (as I did), then it can be a lark.  But the novelty wears off pretty quickly!

Sure!  

It’s not restful sleep, so you’re definitely not missing out.  The thing is the nightjet picks up passengers overnight, so it’s pretty stop and go.  It’s manageable for one night, but not so restful to want it as a proxy for hotels.

I’m sooooorrrryyyyyy :(

I think that gif is all of us at this point.

This right here.

Sorry to rain on people’s parade, but having taken overnight sleepers with what passes for nice bunks and en-suite showers, I’d just like to highlight that it’s seriously not worth it (European NightJet routes). It’s actually really expensive even for the non-velvet lined cabins (way more expensive than flying a…

As a European white viewer (so “majority” in this context), I just loved this show. It’s funny, heartfelt, deep and uplifting. I’m so sad to see it go just so we can (probably) get some more supernatural crap about “hot teens” played by terrible 20-something actors.  I am dooooone, just give me Pen and Lydia and the…

What the actual fuck with the embedded tweet?!

You know Prince would have been wearing it in a kicky mini or more mermaid version!  God that would be a red carpet...

OMG, so I was our local hippie store and this elderly lady comes in an asks a question about almond butter (like what you can use it for etc bearing in mind that I don’t live somewhere where nut butters are much of a Thing). And the sales woman goes, oh you can use it as a butter replacement also in baking! Anywhere…

I make my own oat milk pretty much this way and it honestly works great. I just chuck my blend into a nutribullet blender thing. The soaking step makes a big difference, especially if you don’t have fine oats.  You can also sweeten it a bit if you like or just generally adjust to your own taste in terms of…

Contrast with Valentina (the Rachel Berry of drag)

We have a portfolio of index linked funds (ETFs though) for some of the largest and most stable indices in continental Europe, a precious metals linked one and then a couple shares (those are small amounts and mostly for shits and giggles although it does turn out my husband is some kind of idiot-savant (love you,…

Right, so entitled??  Her attitude was terrible, her outfit was terrible and honestly, I don’t get why she’s back.

God, can you imagine?! 70 mil to fuck off?!  Living the fucking dream!

The “barista” version of Oatly’s oat milk is actually legit amazing and is probably the non-dairy milk that comes closest to the mouthfeel of whole milk. It doesn’t taste super oat-y or weird or anything. The “barista” bit really just means it’s aimed at dumping in your coffee, is a bit fattier and can be frothed like…

I haven’t even watched the last Vikings but my reaction to the pic above is just like, that’s the wrong Alfred. It’s clearly not what he actually looks like! (because TLK is clearly 100% accurate and real).

This reminds me of something else. Foreign plate formats. The plates on that mini are the wrong font for Swiss plates (chase is in Paris, but he picked up the car in Zurich). Like it’s almost there, but not quite.
