I was just inside one of them. Massive aircraft.

A veritable “block of flats with wings”!

Apparently they have all female crews on some of these, so they don’t refer to that room at the front with the nice view as ’the cockpit’ anymore; it’s now called ’the box office'.

You’ve been in one of these things, and you have had close personal relations with Ted Kennedy’s Portuguese Water Dog . Who the hell are you…?

His name is Walter Howard Mitty Zelig, grandson of Leonard Zelig, son of Forrest Gump Zelig. He is believed to be a highly placed CIA operative, working in many of the world’s most dangerous trouble spots, often at the same time. Drives an ancient Buick. Adopts a friendly semi-democrat persona, affects an obsessive interest in camera gear in an attempt to blend in with the sort of dangerous edgy ex-pats he knows will be of use. Has been seen wishing he’d had a beer with Drew. Covers his trail perfectly with a large number of poorly edited bad photographs. Truly an international man of mystery, if you think you know where he is, he’s not. It’s a privilege to not know him, and safer…

That’s the US mail ‘plane, it goes round the world continuously, I have heard the engines never get cold Incidentally it is illegal in Thailand to point your camera to the sky…. If only that was a joke, it’s not.
