I went to orlando in 2009… for the launch of sts 119… from the cape but was aborted (future ref: SLS at the cape now has hydrogen insensiblities yet again)
but it was a valve problem then…

on my flight home I was put next to the exit door which had a blast of cold air (you would not believe) all they could do was give me a blanket but no sleep thank you…

thanks again virgin atlantic

I heart Herzog and have seen the majority of his prominent work. In the I-should-have-known-this dept: while some performers are themselves onscreen, the dour and grim aspect he delivers is entirely an act, and off-work he’s apparently “fluffy.”

Literally never. This is some garbage that only happens in America.

Look, most of the civilised world shows all the costs associated upfront (talking about VAT and paying a decent salary to employees) upfront. This doesn’t happen there. If you see a price on the airline website, that’s what you pay.

If you’re American you’ve literally made this hell for yourself. Now you’ve got to sleep in it.

That was a dreadful Herzog impersonation. Why didn’t they get the real thing?

That’s on YouTube Kids LOL

There are plenty of fine impersonations too, such as the aforementioned Yelp review
