I eat vegan/vegetarian most of the time because I’m honestly just not that keen on meat, but also because of the environmental footprint. The thing is though, people are lazy and make very sweeping assumptions about something being healthy/environmentally friendly based on marketing and fads. When I buy vegan “meat”/“d…

I’m an idiot, so I went and looked at their Insta account and then looked at the comments on the last post. Unsurprisingly, it’s a dumpster-fire and highlights exactly what can be so toxic about social media and stan culture.

Like I kinda get the first point, but at the same time if you’re giving us just short seasons of short episodes of course people are going to spend time on filler content.

Noooooooooooooo! Nonononononono. No. No!

We have a line in our T&E policy about being allowed to expense customary tips. Check your policy’s fine print.

I would be ok with all of this.

Dude is a veeeeeeeeery successful singer who for some reason landed a GoT cameo. It was just a very odd moment in GoT. Like having Beyoncé show up as a character. It just takes you out of the moment a bit. That said, him being hounded off social media is obviously overkill.

My office is at the ass end of nowhere and they’ve cancelled our shuttle service, so the car is still required when I actually do turn up in person (work from home about 60% of the time).

On a most short haul European routes (so basically all European routes), the only difference between biz and coach is that you’re guaranteed a free seat next to you and get proper crockery rather than plastic. They usually just move the little divider curtain up and down the rows to accommodate more or fewer biz class…

I’m in an Alfa/crossover hotspot in Europe and thinking about it, we don’t see a lot of Stelvios at all. It’s mostly Giuliettas, Mitos and the occasional Giulia on the Alfa side and then literally any other car brand available on the crossover side. I guess it’s maybe crossovers aren’t really “on brand” if I think of…

I think rice cookers on the “warm” function keep it too hot for this to be a problem.  It’s the sort of luke warm not hot not cool middle ground that can get problematic sometimes (sometimes being the operative word).

I’m a rice fiend, and like you have it as part of meals very frequently. In all those years, I’ve have only managed to get this once. HOWEVER! It puts garden variety food poisoning to shame. 3 days of misery and vertigo for 6 months because it can fuck with your ears. This was restaurant rice, so who knows what…

OK, phew!  Glad you liked it :)

If you come by again, do some investigation about day passes etc and it’ll be a lot cheaper or at least less expensive! Almost no one pays full fare tickets in Switzerland except for tourists unfortunately :-( . We all have some kind of pass that makes it significantly more affordable, buy day tickets or buy…

I’m glad it’s not just me!  I really bought into the whole soothing (or at least not disturbing) motion thing and basically it’s all lies and fabrications.  I’d rather take a goddamn North Sea ferry.  But at least now I know for myself, so that’s something.

Literally no idea. Maybe it’s via Scotland and back so you can actually get some sleep.  

Who knows! Maybe they have to be in Cornwall at 6am? Maybe they’ve been partying and need to get home and want the comfort of a sleeper?

That sounds lovely! The ones I’ve been on didn’t have anything like a sightseeing car or longer stops. It’s just an overnight way of getting from a to b. Yours sounds much more touristy (in the best way) and pleasant!

Same!  The cast look like they’re having a good time and it carries through.  Congrats to all involved in the production for pulling it off.

I’m glad you’ve had good experiences! It’ll deffo be better than a night bus, for sure though.
