I remember in the not very distant past the rule used to be "take a good gulp of that liquid, Sir". That always worked!

That must have been phuquing cold to carry.

Mr Sput, Mr Sput, science question! What's the freezing point of vodka? Pretty darned low, I suspect.

THAT'S A CHEMISTRY QUESTION but to put a physics spin on it, it's more than likely a lot higher than that of alcohol because it's not pure.

Ah, no, not frozen. That was actually in reference to the second bit, they asked them to take a sip of its contents.

I was going to say! I got taught that vodka freezes at -25°C so that would have been pretty impossible.

THAT'S NOT DOCTOR KARL

That is *not* the second-most trusted man in Australia.

I respectfully disagree, sir.

Received a comprehensive apology from Belfast City Airport's Security Manager and he's sending me £10 to replace my bag.
