Aliens are coming

Players en route to B'ham airport?

Yes, it woke me up. It wasn't just passing over but seemed to be circling for quite a few minutes. At first I thought it was thunder but then realised it was a plane.

Guy Butters tried the Lamb Vindaloo last night, he's issued an apology!

I heard it too, at the time checked flight radar app and no planes were nearby, when’s Wills back, maybe it was his flight

Must be Prince William the Villa fan. It’s a dirty trick to stop our players sleeping before Saturday’s game.

Strange - heard it in Hailsham a couple of times around 7:30. Cat looked a bit concerned so it was definitely abnormal.

It is a good deal

Mark Francois was staying down in Brighton but couldn't get his car started. He took the Spitfire instead.

The aliens flew to a near enough range, opened the Brexit thread and decided this planet wasn’t for them.

Given that I heard a loud plane a couple of hours later, I do wonder if it is some kind of weird atmospheric sound amplification deal. No idea if that is possible but rain increases traffic noise.
