No ones teleported me to a Waffle House in ages 😔

@TheBreadmonkey I used to teleport home after every drunken night out. I'd also always be missing roughly the amount of money a taxi would have cost.

It remains a mystery.

@TheBreadmonkey It certainly does raise questions about just how cost-effective teleportation really is as a mode of transport - especially given the additional risks, such as accidentally waking up in a ditch. Or worse, on a train to Milton Keynes.

No-one goes to Milton Keynes deliberately.

@ApostateEnglishman @TheBreadmonkey I used to change coaches at Milton Keynes regularly as an undergrad going to and from university. I once opened a toilet cubicle door at the coach station to discover that someone had deposited a turd of truly gargantuan proportions actually on the toilet seat. As I have never had occasion to visit Milton Keynes beyond the coach station this remains my enduring mental image of the place.

Which is why I was particularly surprised to discover it was in the running for UK City of Culture 2029 https://www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/news/2026/milton-keynes-progresses-uk-city-culture-2029-bid

@jamesb @ApostateEnglishman @TheBreadmonkey it was in the early 2000s, in the women's toilets. So it probably wasn't yours if you're worried
@afewbugs @ApostateEnglishman @TheBreadmonkey Oh, I wasn't worried.

I was quite proud of it at the time too.
