      We don’t actually know how far away Betelgeuse is: it could be 500 light years away; it could be just around the corner getting a pack of ciggies and a six-pack to watch the footie on the sky box a bit later, yeah? Come around six, I’ll get the missus to defrost a pizza and we can talk fantasy football. The parking might be a bit shite, but the neighbour’s away this weekend, so just use their driveaway and pop a “soz” letter through their door just in case. Also, ask Suze if her brother still fixes boilers as ours has gone up this week and it could use a look-see, cheers. If you see the bailiffs outside, tell 'em to get bent.

      Space time is so strange. If it has “happened already,” but the change hasn’t propagated to us yet by the speed of light, has it really “already happened” in any actual way?
