Recently retired and now partially un-retired Singapore-based research scientist and professor of cell biology. Still dabbling in biotech, molecular biology and gene therapy. Often to be found under water. Fascinated by things that fly.

The Mini of course. Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis. British- Greek, born in Turkey (like St George). Canโ€™t get more British than that.

Why has the word โ€œkineticโ€ suddenly become fashionable with these assholes?

Exactly right.

So this wouldnโ€™t actually be international waters then.

I donโ€™t think she has the self awareness or sense of shame to go the same way.

Sounds a bit SS-like to me.

It is indeed a beast.

Tu-16
I have no idea what this Swiss aeroplane is
Grumman Albatross HU-16
F-16

Iโ€™m guessing the unknown Swiss one is not a 16 and therefore ooo

Hope youโ€™re dodging the drones in Cypress

At the risk of sounding parochial, a worsening situation between Afghanistan and Pakistan and closure of airspace would seriously limit air traffic to SE Asia where I live. At the moment flights from Europe are routed over the Caspian Sea and the โ€˜Stans. Things could get even more messed up.

Just read it. A sobering comparison with the Iraq fiasco. At this point Iโ€™m half expecting Paul Wolfowitz to re-emerge from his crypt. As for Bremer ending up as a ski instructor, Iโ€™m lost for words.

It was crazy. Everyone (including me) lying on the floor of the turbine hall. Itโ€™s not often that art grabs you like this.

Same experience. It was absolutely mind blowing.

Sounds like collective punishment to me. Weโ€™re moving into Geneva Convention territory.

Several per week. Same as you. Weird thing is I retired a couple of years ago and they still keep coming.

Not even remotely surprised.

I think that particular ship sailed quite a while ago.

๐Ÿ‘Thatโ€™s the first thing that popped into my mind. Iโ€™d heard it as caught in bed with a live rent boy/dead prostitute. Anyway, sheโ€™s not wrong.

Makes sense. The phone box is elf-sized.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

I would include Bhattacharya. The absolute worst NIH director in my career.

I thought, perhaps naively, that the media might have moved on from this type of nonsense. It reminds me of the infamous Dorothy Hodgkin headlineโ€ฆ Oxford housewife wins Nobel. ๐Ÿ™„
