My mate was at the show tonight in Stoke. Clinton Baptiste was the "surprise guest". Just perfect.

Just starting my Substack. It's for people called Noah who need to learn how to navigate airport transfers. Niche, yeah but link in bio.

I know eh!!!!

I've thought too much about this. He's had a State visit, where I imagine she stayed at The US Embassy or a trip to two of his golf courses where she'd have stayed in one of his hotels. Pretty poor TV offering then.

Poirot is on ITV3 if you want, m8

He's only ever stayed at Windsor or one of his hotels when she's been over. The Royal household probably bans BBC News atm mind you!!!

I keep seeing a different Noah Smith touring Heathrow thread and I have to read them all.

davidbastin12.bsky.social @davidbastin12.bsky.social · 12h

It really isn't if you can read the massive purple signs he needed to follow.

If you're daft enough to drink Fosters, they are reducing the ABV from 3.7% to 3.4% and dressing it up as some sort of health benefit. Obviously it's to pay less duty whilst still charging you the same.

Yeah lots of people saying he's lost the plot in the last few months.

A lovely story about an American who's too arrogant to admit he made a mistake so it's definitely somebody else's fault.

Jack Tindale @jacktindale.bsky.social · 20h

Noah Smith is paid in the high six-figures to write a blog read by Americans who believe themselves to be intelligent. Yet, he is both unable to read a sign and also for some reason chose to have a 90 minute layover for a flight that takes 90 minutes.

The airline really, and I can't stress this enough, really wants you on that connection on time. Not because they're nice but because it will cost them a shit load of money if they miss their slot.

Every transfer that I've had at any international airport I've had instructions from the airline by email and usually on the incoming flight as well and then with ground crew once you land.
