I just emulated Mark Knopfler (old honey voice) on the mic pretending it’s a Cornetto whilst singing Tunnel Of Love. Watch some live concerts and you’ll see how intermate he gets with the mic.

You’d need to be Superman to do it. There’s a lot more air per cubic meter inside the cabin than outside. And the doors open inward initially.

So, you’d need to be strong enough to squeeze all the air inside the cabin and single-handedly increase the cabin pressure in order to open the door.

Nah dude… I’m all about that engineered redundancy.

No. Take off and landing is usually when the bad shit happens.

I’m pretty nervous then too. Oddly, turbulence doesn’t worry me at all, it’s just sailing on air waves in the sky, like sailing in a boat on the sea.

One of the engines not so much because I know planes are designed to handle losing an engine. Thinking about a wing falling off? Yeah, especially if I’m sat over a wing by a window I’ll just look at it wobbling and think “what if this is the number of wobbles it takes to come off?”, especially on long OS flights over the ocean… but I try to distract myself from thinking about it for too long.

How come the lyrics on Spotify are synced on my phone but yet when mirrored onto the telly they are not? It makes karaoke hard because I gotta make my own words up. Lucky I know all the words to Tubthumping. I should send an email.

*mirrored may not be the correct terminology.

Mirrored by what method?

Its probably latency from the mirroring if I had to guess.

Not mirrored. Wrong terminology but I think I may have accidentally worked it out. 👍 More experiments need to be obtained.

Oh ok. There’s also odd instances if you’re hooking through a sound system there the audio and the video could be out of sync as welll.

I am making banoffee pie for friend Xmas tomorrow. I’m very excited to eat it. Cream whipped, caramel is on the stove, then it’s just an assemble job. Hopefully it’s a hit.

Unless you used, I dunno… pig cream… it’s definitely gonna be a hit. Any complainers can bring their share over to my place.

Did my semi compulsory 30mins attendance at my company Christmas party tonight. Had a cry on the drive home because I’d like to be able to stay and have a nice time and a few drinks but I just get too stressed out by the idea of the whole thing leave 🙃
