Rosencranz And Guildenstern Are Dead and over-rehearsed at Old Vic Theatre | Sunday, May 7, 2017
Show #22 of #2017 was a hyped-up #RosencranzAndGuildensternAreDead by the marvellous #TomStoppard. A decent @oldvictheatre production let-down by the two leads barking their well-rehearsed lines far too quickly at each other to give any resemblance of actual witty repartee. Totally overcooked. #DavidHaig was excellent, however. #theatre #london #londontheatre

Nuclear War at Royal Court Theatre | Wednesday, May 3, 2017
Show #21 of #2017 was the monumentally incomprehensible #NuclearWar @royalcourttheatre. Love the #RCT but scheduling a lullaby at 21:15 was unfair to those of us who don’t live at the #RCT. Not terrible but cheaper to read #IsaiahBerlin and be on the fast train to Slumberland. #NightNight #london #theatre wherever you are tonight
United Airlines | Tuesday, May 2, 2017
Evidence that @photonpete and I were actually in the same place at the same time for once in a blue moon. He flies 777s for #United. Who are not doing well on #PR right now. But… that guy who was dragged off the flight the other day had already taken money to be bounced, left his wife and the flight and walked out past security, panicked about and ran back on past security. What a complete shitshow. Any corroboration? #interesting
Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird - again - at IWM Duxford | Tuesday, May 2, 2017
Another #SR71 picture. Because I’ve just been in pub with @photonpete and he knows about these things: the flame from the engine during takeoff was longer than the fuselage, which is frickin long. And they would have to refuel straight after takeoff, because the thing would leak fuel like a sieve until it got to temperature and the metal expanded enough to seal all the joints. So when some dipshit hipster gives you the elevator pitch about their ultra-fast new hypersonic plane startup, ask them if they ever studied engineering. And then ask them how fuel their plane will leak during takeoff.
