I'll add in her something I learned recently - whisky can become "corked", ie if the stopper is made of cork, it can go bad and ruin the drink's flavour. I thought this was just a wine thing, but apparently it can happen with whisky too.

I'm happy just to know they're there, living their lives.

I saw takahē in captivity too, in Zealandia. You can sort of see why they almost went extinct - their big defence move is to sit reeeeally still. Big silly chooks.

Ive travelled a lot, and I've never been yelled at in any other airport. In other international hub airports you follow "transit" signs to get to the main waiting area, with shops, cafes, bars etc.

This is it. Yes, spinning HDDs may be cheaper, but replacing mine with an SSD made my PC faster and quieter, especially on boot.

"You absolute melt" is my favourite. Uttered by a GBBO baker about himself in the latest episode.

TIL, that is so interesting! I should start selling my blackcurrant jam in the States, it's delicious.

A couple of times I've travelled Air NZ route that goes London-Auckland via LAX. The plane has to stop to refuel I guess. All the passengers are forced to queue up to be fingerprinted and have their eyeballs scanned, while a security guard walks up and down screaming "STAY IN THE LINE!" Then they're herded into a lounge barely big enough to hold everyone (first class passengers have their own little pen next to the toilets). Apologetic air crew distribute apples, crisps and bottles of water. For hours. Through a glass wall is a view of the rest of the airport: shops, cafes, bars, space to stroll. But hey, at least you get to not miss your flight, and the US is safe from Kiwi tourists.

I don't know if they still do this, I avoid the route.
