I have access to land in Kent where I have permission to break free from the earth's gravitational pull in a small space rocket powered by burning liquid oxygen. I mainly fly to the moon and to Jupiter. I also slingshot around Saturn and - on occasion - land on asteroids. Nothing beats the feeling of re-entering the earth's atmosphere protected only by carbon heat-shields and hoping the 'chute will open. I prefer to land the old fashioned way - into the Pacific and awaiting collection by a passing aircraft carrier.


So, if anyone wants to swap details on the best planets to visit, or can recommend some good galaxies where they accommodate interplanetary travellers, drop me a message or post the details on this thread.


Happy Flying.



Blimey, *Bob*. I wish I was as care-free as you are. In fact, if I were to use your geometry, I might just stop bouncing off of the underside of the earth's atmosphere for once and actually get somewhere. Honestly, it's refreshing to be amongst professionals, at last!

You haven't ventured to the Centaurus constellation then? If you had, you might have come across me - some less than 5 light-years away.


You should pay me a visit. What I lack in size, stature and luminosity, I make up in appearance. What do you think?



Sorry, Proxima. But me and *Bob* have made it a rule to venture further than where no man from East Dulwich has been before. And, forgive us if we're wrong, but the Centaurus constellation sounds like the kind of boutique you'd find on Lordship Lane. So, unless there's violent life forms that can be overcome with a bow and arrow, we're not interested, I'm afraid.

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
