I know its memes, but the astronaut tim peake discussed the space suits on No Such Thing As A Fish where he said that the whole get-up is like 16+ layers thick, and the only heating inside is for your fingertips, so you dont lose fine motor function.

Oh actually also the Italy round of Road Rash 3. I once worked in an Italian restaurant and would whistle this without knowing it was taken from some famous Italian opera, and the owner asked me how I knew the music, and I didn’t have the heart to tell him.

Woops. I didn’t realise that text box got hidden:
My best friend died last year, she was only seven, but I would give anything to just have gotten two more years with her. Enough for her to visit my first home. There’s a spot on the sofa for her and she deserves to enjoy it more than me.
Was his uncle a police officer? That would be Peter’s loss of a copper.
