I have only one question regarding this article in the Guardian.

"Why an alias and why 'that' alias?"

Because he's an idiot?

He will travel under another name but not Mr Spock as that would be 'illogical'.....

.... as opposed to the logical Mr Kirk.....

Er, isn't that two questions, Wolf?

Oh hang on a minute, should that have been "aren't they two questions"?

This is getting very surreal.

Beam me up, Scottie!

I thought that you had to book flights in your own name? if not why all the fuss when someone tries to pass a ticket on to someone else or books a flight and their name is misspelt? Or is that just international flights?

Ha ha, well done sir.
“Now that my cover has been blown by the Mail on Sunday, I will choose another Star Trek character – but not Mr Spock because that would be illogical,” he said.

I have nothing against the guy but the word that Chris uses "surreal" seems to cover the incident.

Why hide your own identity by using one that most people are aware of "Captain James Tiberius Kirk". Eejit!!

His Immense Rotundity does his public a disservice by trying to hide behind aliases.
We wish to heap praise and adulation wherever he goes, scatter rose petals before him.
Saviour of the nation, we bow down before you and your anointed successor, First Miniature Sturgeon.
