Re: Cabin pressure

As you might guess, I love Cabin Pressure to bits and I have been listening to it at least a hundred times. Let's add that Timbuktu is one of my favourite episodes.
Well and this happened. I went competing to the TV quiz show. The rules are a little complicated - the show is based on answers from 100 people and you have to try to say the least known answer so it means 0 is the best answer you can have and 100 the worst. The question was: say one of the neighbour states of Mali. So I said Burkina Faso because thanks to Cabin Pressure I remembered that Ouagadougou is its capital and I deduced that it can't be far away from Mali as it was the alternate. And then we had 0 which almost never happens and it was amazing!!! And I felt really really smart.

Re: Cabin pressure

Benedict is for sail, apparently. And what a good bargain it is!

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: Cabin pressure

I recently starting re-listening to this during my drive back and forth to work.  It puts me in such a good mood.

Re: Cabin pressure

I can always laugh about that quote:

"Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention, please? This is the Airport speaking. Listen to the Airport. Flight 2020202 is now ready for boarding at Gate...Eight. It isn't late, it will not wait. If you want to be on that aeroplane...it's time to get on the aeroplane now. If you have young children...put them on the aeroplane. If you have any hand baggage...put it on the aeroplane. If you have any bombs...they're not allowed on the aeroplane. Please put them...in the bin. Okay, bye! Love..the Airport."

I will never ever forget how we listened to that episode twice while we stayed in London for only three days, gently. And listening to it while you're waiting in Heathrow is especially satisfying. 

And of course let's not forget:
"Your attention please. This is an important message for all passengers hoping to fly to Nottingham... Raise your ambitions."

Ottery St Mary is my favourite episode ever.

If you have ever been to Nottingham you would realise the perception in that comment- mind you, Leicester is no better.

After that I only realised how few private yellow cars are on German streets.
