Plot twist: Koch is German and means cook/chef. Thus she is most likely of Wolga-german descent.

[@PatrickSpelman]

Well according to her father's Wikipedia page you are entirely correct.

It makes sense because she doesn't really look Russian that much. Her jaw is different.

In the US, the name "Koch" is pronounced different ways. The right-wing brothers pronounce it "coke," the former mayor of New York was "cotch," and the guy who runs the Boston Brewing Co. says "cook."

Rail Replacement Bus Service is almost a mtw in-joke now, I've heard it used so fucking often. But as a punchline it makes no sense to anyone outside of London, like I have learnt the ins & outs of the London public transport system from mtw, without ever having visited.

[@Fyreflier]

I actually had to take one in Wales because it was Sunday and that apparently means no trains. Cardiff to somewhere like... half an hour away by train - the bus got stuck in traffic and it took two hours. But luckily my sister and I are paranoid af and our connection was still like 45 minutes later.
