BA are claiming I didn't fly back from the US last week. Well... that would explain a lot.

There's oodles of good stuff in there but there's also some stuff that jarred quite badly.

Until I left it in the Taxi I was enjoying Iron Sunrise a lot more.

That might have something to do with my liking of big space ships.
