GARY is @garybrannan on Twitter
and CHRIS doesn't do this social media nonsense.

I researched Gary's "disco carriage" story because it seemed too fantastical to be true. It is true. There's video evidence: LEAGUE LINER

"Bite attendant"? I think you'll find that back then they were called "chewardesses".

The crew would encourage people to socialize.
"Oh Fuck off"
Basically the best reaction ever.

"dedicated misanthropes cabin" is now what I will call first class.

Made the mistake of having a mouth full of tea when Tom said "what is the media term for tin full of arseholes at 30,000 feet?"

5 years later and I still want to know what the superinjuction that Gary broke is

Two friends of mine, one from school and one from uni did a overland backpackers truck journey across Africa. I took them a week of conversation to work out that they both knew me.

6:40 I like that Tom apparently has a reputation for being the Archbishop of Bants

So superinjunctions have been out of style for some time now ... can we yet be legally told what Gary's censored story was?

“Wingwalking is a thing”

Unintentional foreshadowing of a future video!

@AlRoderick 10 years ago

In those days the bite attendant would be a chewardess.

"They would encourage you to socialise."
"Oh, f*** off."
"Spot the British people!"

I want an airline fitted out like a japanese coffin hotel. give me a 1 meter x 1 meter x 2 meter box with a light and a tv and load me like cargo.

@ByteMe619 10 years ago

"Oh fuck off" my exact reaction to the thought of socialising with the "self-exploration" type of backpackers

"There is no better way to guarantee you'll end up at the terminus by accident" if you've ever fallen asleep on the train you know what this feels like

This is one half of the inspiration for the pub-on-a-hovercraft.

Rewatching this, just noticed that you have a substitute Matt Gray. It's hard to notice but the real Matt Gray would never have said "Eastern climes" he would have said "Rightward". Good imitation otherwise.
