      Thank you. It’s time people started taking Trebuchets seriously as a mode of transport.

        It’s a one-way ticket because you won’t need more.

      I know what you’re thinking but we’d have to create whole different kind of sewer network if you wanted to travel via toilets (a la harold halibut)

      Using Tardises (is that the correct plural) wouldn’t just cause a mess in space but also in time.

        Mmm, yes, destroy people’s tires so they have to buy new ones (at least a pair with 2WD cars, or an entire set if you destroy just one tire on a proper AWD/4WD car). Surely more tires being dumped in landfills and more new tires being manufactured is good for the planet
