The evidence is in. The moon landings were faked.
(As James said: That’s no moon.)

Bothered by leaves on the line? They can really mess up your train journey, can’t they? But why do they cause problems? Surely they’re only leaves? Soft, floaty leaves – how can they harm a big, butch, intercity train?
If only we knew, then we wouldn’t feel so frustrated. We wouldn’t mind late trains because we’d understand.
Fortunately, help is at hand in the form of a leaflet, produced by Network Rail and a couple of train operating companies, called The Challenge of Falling Leave. This brings to life such concepts as “carbonisation”, “Sandite” and “Low Adhesion Training” in a simple, pocket-sized guide that every commuter will cherish.
The back page even features a helpful rundown of some of the most common leaves, so never again will you have to wonder “Is that a sycamore I see before me?” as you stare impotently out of the window of a stationary carriage.
Apparently there aren’t enough nice pictures on blogs. So here’s the Moon from where I work as it was late yesterday afternoon. Although my camera phone and the Eldoradoesque framing do make it look like the Sun.
