Wait until he learns about the aluminium content of clay. He'll be forced to ban plates.

C4 will burn in a fire but not detonate. It needs a shockwave to initiate the explosion.

Flight home is cancelled... rebooked onto a new flight, but who knows...

Flight is 2.5 hours delayed so far. Really glad that I got up at 3am for this...

Wish me luck.

Just found out that one of my closest friends from university has stage 4 bowel cancer. He is 52.

Getting old is horrible.
