Taking people to the airport when

[Greedo]

you're not going anywhere is torture sometimes!!!

Don't normally mind doing it and was quite happy and contented today, then took the folks to the airport as they're off to Australia.

Now feel like going on line and booking somewhere as it's freezing and snowing here AGAIN!!!!!

it must be the weather

I used to get that feeling at a bus or rail station, but now I just see the places as waiting rooms! I know what you mean though!

Reminds me of the time I took my late Irish pal Liam to Gatwick airport to catch a flight to somewhere hot. He used to walk into a travel agency on a Friday and say "Give me a ticket to anywhere with a beach and sunshine, departing tomorrow" and would get some fatastic bargains. At that time I lived in east London so he kipped at my place then we shot down to Gatwick on my motorbike. Left the bike on doube yellows outside the check in and strolled in. Liam couldn't find his ticket so to my embarrassment he upended his rucsac and a pile of unspeakable black rubber scuba kit, a couple of T shirts and a stinking, damp towel tumbled out onto the shiny marble. The ticket was wrapped in the towel and a bit crinkled. Got him checked in and went out to find my bike had been ticketed. Ah well, youth, eh?

In a previous life, I used to drive to work, and the free allocated parking was next to the sidings of a large railway station. This meant getting out of the c*r each morning, accompanied by announcements about trains going to, amongst others, Glasgow, or Penzance. There was an enormous temptation to board a train, rather than go into work each day.

You hinting at visiting me again????

What do you mean again? You said last time that the key would be under the flowerpot. You could have said which flowerpot.

Do you have a secret fantasy about Bill and Ben?

Yip I do.

It's the right hand side one

 

[Speicher]

So kind, I shall know for next time!

 

[Aperitif]

There's something fishy going on here Speicher - I was just about to pronounce 'Carp Diem' - and you have already been greedy!

 

[Speicher]

Greedo will be waiting with baited breath.
I shall drop him a line.
