Would you go to the beach

You're really not helping...at allI'm pleased that I could help with your mental imagery!!
I heard you were more partial to a cottage in the woods.
Trust me it gets very boring very quickly, particularly on windy days.
If I open the windows for half an hour to get some fresh air and the wind picks up all of a sudden it’s all over the house
But I also spent about 10 years living in a city before I moved back to my home town and got sick & tired of pollution/noise.
Still don’t know which was better/worse
Urgh tourists, the amount of times I’ve been asked by them where the nearest souvenir shops are?
“Sorry mate I don’t know. I live here never so I’ve needed one”
And I’ve seen Seagulls mug old ladies for their fish & chips more than once
Frame Shift Drive charging...
Warning: Sand detected in the frame shift drive. WARNING. Catastrophic failure imi-
Same here, lived in south Florida, OK when I was a teen and took girl-friends there to do what lusty teens do.
But the salt air is extremely corrosive, sand gets in your car, and later, when we took our kids to the beach (they were young then) the outfits that people would wear were pretty gross, hard to explain that to small children. We quit doing that. Also skin cancer keeps me out of the sun. Had a scare with that.
Let's go to the beach! NOT!
So we can blame you for engineering?
One of the strongest urges I had when I tried nms back when it launched was to find a nice location to "set up" at. The rapid realisation that (at the time) this wasn't possible almost instantly turned me off. Well, that and the excruciatingly arcade flight model.
It's sometimes frustrating knowing nms has the tech to do what it does (as Sci fi as it is admittedly) but Elite is fundamentally years from getting to that stage, because I think Elite does almost everything else better.
My explanation on why computer systems weigh so much in the Elite universe is that we have gone back to Babbage Difference Engine technologies and therefore they are all high precision gears and cams.
Sand would be an absolute nightmare.

What makes you think this will be added to Elite?
That's filmed at The Blue Lagoon in Abereiddy, Pembrokeshire.
Aisling Duval is there though, she strips down to her birthday suit but then takes off her blue wig before running into the sea for a paddle.
I've lived near a beach in the North of England for nearly my entire life...you have no idea how much I hate sand
So probably not...
I know what you mean, I don't like sand. It's all coarse, and rough, and irritating. And it gets everywhere
Oh, now that is just rude....!
