For astrophotographers like me, they are a disaster. And it’s avoidable - if they were painted non-reflective black, they would be far less visible. The visibility is deliberate, a form of advertising.

I really can’t understand the popularity of Severance.

This very thing happened to me. I had a black 350z, and came out of the surgery one evening to find a toy black 350z sitting on it. I still have the toy.

When he returned to the British Embassy, Knox was greeted by the Russian officer commanding the battalion. Knox rejected his profuse thanks, denouncing him for having to use women where Russian men refused to fight.

One of the strangest units ever seen. Rescued from Bolshevik captivity by Sir Alfred Knox who threatened Trotsky with informing ‘His Britannic Majesty’ of Bolshevik misconduct.

I remember a clip from the BBC radio show The News Quiz, about a woman who was arrested while dancing barefoot at night on the fresh grave of her ex, waving a bottle of champagne and singing, ‘Who’s sorry now’. Seems appropriate.
