Boaty and the Chef are like the Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly. Before we know where we are, they'll have teleported a Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Despair Squid aboard.

Episode 937 (By the way, there is a German cartoonist whose beaver cartoons make me suspect that he really believes that beavers feed on wood...) |

Perhaps we could drive the trees and the beavers away with a Hammond Organ recital. Close, but no cigar: Episode 938 (Just for the record: I love the city mentioned in the strip, and I am also very fond of this type of music. But as there are many people who can't stomach it, it is always good for gags like this.) |

Is that a Pringles shop I see before me? Sorry, but it is actually a clothes shop. When I saw that (at 495 Lawnmarket) while researching Edinburgh, I just had to use it as a background because of this ambiguity. Maybe they sell clothes that smell of prawn cocktail? |

Those of you who try and follow Boaty and Chef's adventures on a map of Edinburgh will notice that their sense of orientation is a bit off. After a long detour, they are now back at the Royal Mile, at 343 High Street! (Yup, even more coordinates...!) Episode 942 |

As you will see in today's episode, we can't freeze the pipers – not with all the alcohol in their blood stream. (To avoid spoilers, I used magic invisible inkl. Just hover over the missing text AFTER you read today's episode. |
