Got back earlier today (after a 4 hour easyJet delay), will put the best pics up for those who are interested.

My flight was exactly on time.

When we were going to the meet one of my clanmembers had to go to Glasgow to return back to Scotland (Obviously after the meet).

If you're interested, here's his story, it's quite funny actually

Lord Iffy Boatrace wrote:im back. and as for that photo. it's probably the closest frank got to the football all day! .

thanks to Al-Quaida and some stupid cow from paisley my journey back took on the qualities of some epic michael palin-esque travel adventure.

After being dropped off at the airport with rooster by Kinky (thx btw), we got some coffee and hung around abit until it was time for rooster to go to his gate for his flight home.
It was then i discovered that Birmingham airport doesnt have any seats in it unless u go to a restaurant or bar so i wandered about a bit and to kill some time used that monorail thing to travel between the airport and the railway station / NEC.
The first flight to glasgow was cancelled by the airline and they couldnt tell me if the later flight was going to be cancelled or not so i decided to buy a train ticket to glasgow and travel that way instead. So a mere 1 hour later and Â£75 worse off, i got a train from International to Glasgow. It was a bit busy but i was happy to be moving North at least (i know thats a concept some may find hard to understand!). All was well until Wigan when a party of 8 drunken loudmouthed celtic fans on their way home from a stag weekend in Liverpool invaded our carriage and began making life a misery for everyone. they were of course going to glasgow so i had to suffer them the whole way home.
5 hours later in glasgow i then had to get another train to paisley where my car was parked and the "helpful" woman on the train told me that the car park was only a 5 or 10 minute walk from the station and i should save my money and not get a cab.
Buoyed by optimism of nearly being home i foolishly took her advice on board and set of on foot for the car park. 5 mins into the journey the rain came on like it was when we arrived at the paintball on saturday and after getting lost wandering around in Paisley, my 10 min walk turned into about 50 min trudge thru the rain, i found the car park and drove home.

on the way back i had to fill up with petrol as well.

phew

go ahead laugh away.....................

I really had the urge to share it

As soon as I saw the word 'Glasgow' I was expecting him to have been held up by the car fire. Photos coming soon, I've added them on my PC and now have to pick the best of the 358 photos

If I'm right he had to go from Birmingham to Glasgow but that got cancelled because of the terrorists. He was supposed to fly in the morning and the next plane would go in the evening at 9

Now I would kill myself if I had to wait 8 hours to get the new plane while being alone

Go to the bar in the waiting lounge and drink your troubles away

But then you'd be too drunk to go on the plane.

Last year I was waiting in Stansted airport for a (delayed) easyJet flight to Newcastle. A guy had been drinking significantly (he was huge as well, not someone you'd want to pick a fight with), and me and a friend were playing on a fruit machine next to him. A woman in uniform and two men walked up to him and started asking questions, so immediately me and my friend backed away as we knew things were probably going to kick off.

They basically told him he was too drunk to go on the plane, then he got pissed, walked up to his friend shouting "It's all your fault I drank so much. I can't go back to see my wife and kids now thanks to you!" and hit him in the face. He fell to the floor, got back up again and got hit in the face again lol, didn't even attempt to block it or dodge (which was a bit stupid).

Meanwhile the easyJet woman was standing back pleading with them as she could do nothing lol. Eventually police officers turned up and they both missed the flight.

When I was in Lloret de mar. We had to take the plane back at 3 am, so we went out till 12 and a friend of me drunk too much and puked all over the bus to the airport and the entire airtrip... It wasnt pleasant for him

Post by **Pedsdude** » July 6th, 2007, 2:03 pm

lol, lloret de mar is so horrible. We drove through it from our villa to Barcelona and it was unbelievably touristy and so many clear English people were there!

Last time I went on a plane it was hijacks by terrorists, but luckily the desitnation they wanted to crash into was a run way and due to the terrorists lack of flying lessons, he performed a perfect landing.

Seriously though, my only airport experience was a long 4 hour wait (as per usual) and then getting on the plane. No troubles hassle free. Boring.

When I eventually got on my plane, the pilot told us that it had been delayed because of engine problems and that it had been stuck in Paris because the engine did not start
