Racing Across London

Evan Edinger, Tom Scott, and Matt Gray race across London from Chiswick to Spitalfields by e-bike, the tube and car. Which mode of transport is fastest? I was surprised to see the car moving as quickly as it did. I’m used to seeing more backed up traffic in at least some of these areas. Very entertaining.

Shelving

At my height that ‘can barely reach it shelf’ doesn’t have to be too far off the ground.

Devil Girl From Mars

In this cheesy 1954 flick a female alien and a menacing robot come to Earth to collect Earth's men as breeding stock. Most of the film takes place at the Bonnie Charlie, a remote inn run by Mr and Mrs Jamieson in the Scottish Highlands.

Itadakimasu

The Japanese phrase Itadakimasu (いただきます) is spoken before eating a meal. Roughly translated into English it means “I humbly receive (this food)”. 

“More than simply “let’s eat,” it reflects a deep cultural value —

gratitude for the food, the people who prepared it, and the lives that sustain us.”
