I won't bother with the link as the b'tards expect you to pay for their content!
But the Torygraph as kindly explained how remote and distant the International Space Station is from home. Yes, at 250 miles above the Earth, the ISS is nearly as far away as Scarborough.
But it is still safer and more welcoming.

Only very, very briefly!
It orbits every 92 minutes at about 5 miles per second, so unless Scarborough is also running away from London really, really fast it's going to be 20,000 miles away in half an hour or so (using Top Gear Maths instead of a calculator)

Stop being sensible that man! We're talking about the Torygraph.
And while we're at it, I hear Briton First are planning a march about our top astroturf joining ISIS!

Yeah, orbital mechanics is a bit beyond them.
I'm not convinced they know the world is round yet...

The first 20 articles a month are free. After that you switch to Incognito (or clear your cache) to get another 20 articles. Rinse and repeat. You're not really paying for it are you?

No, I don't. But I don't want to link back to the Torygraph and then have that show up in my history!

For those of us that have no clue what you're talking about, and also misread the subject line as "TOYgraph", a link might actually be useful.

The Torygraph[^] is a British right-wing paper that stands somewhere between Old Fashioned Family Values and Gengis Khan or, if you're a Toupe Wearing Diatribe Engine standing for the Republican Nomination, a Pinko-Lefty-Rag.

Even if you're in Scarborough? That's gotta be a bit scary. Still at least they've had fair warning[^]!

Pah! Install CCleaner or similar. Everytime it barfs I open the app at Cookies and delete the Telegraph cookies. Job done. Pay for it? NEVER!
