Guy calls RAF Wittering to find out if they had slots for civilians to practice radar-controlled approaches. He was lucky. Wittering had just sent out a notice that with less flying going on there, they would accept civvie training requests in order to keep their controllers proficient.

"... but the Danube isn't blue — it's green!" Probably not fluoroscent green, though.

Dammitt! AO3 has joined the Dark Side, hiding behind a Cloudflare barrier. I shall of course maintain loudly, just to be suitably contrary, that Cloudflare is using these 'security checks' to mine some e-coin or other for themselves.

Harry Potter is talked into going to Japan to help out a group of SM-era princesses. One of them is his sister in a roundabout reincarnatey way. Sirius Black is involved, so expect things to go weirder than they normally do.

Can I take "Huh?" for 200?

[Ellen Kuhfeld]

When he got there the conductor told him,
"One more nickel."
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.

Did he ever return?
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearn'd
He may ride forever
'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned.
