But none of my friends could see it as having any significance outside of the space programme. ‘Reach for the stars? Hell, no. Where’s the TV remote? Big Brother is on in 5 minutes’.

It was a strange day, all things considered. The thing did look amazing, incredibly awkward and graceful at the same time. But as it circled off to the North to line up for the approach to Dulles I just felt gutted and felt as if I had to try and put it into words.

The common use of the F and C words is another example. If you use these words routinely, how do you express yourself when you are REALLY angry? A game reviewer dare not use the term ‘very good’ because the modern generation will automatically translate that to ‘poor’. Sad.

Brilliant writing. Why doesn’t stuff like this appear in our daily newspapers? (Sadly, we all know why, so no postcards please). There’s a saying: History often happens on otherwise quite ordinary days – which is why no on notices until much later. But some people DO notice. Salut.

No idea how you could achieve that though….
