This is a final call for passengers on flight XY123 to Bangkok, please go to gate 3 now.
This was then followed 10 minutes later by:
Again, this is a final call for passengers on flight XY123 to Bangkok, please [...]

Hi Pete!

21 June 2008 – 20:53

OK - it happened - for the first time ever. I was sitting at my usual table for breakfast this morning with Kas (well, we’ve been staying here for nearly 2 years now so we have a regular table), munching on toast, chicken loaf and cheese, when a man walks past, looks in my direction, [...]

King of the Castle

24 January 2008 – 12:42

12 January 2008 – 18:35

Clumsy Travellers

9 January 2008 – 16:53

That’d be the character that has 10 hours wait in a lounge with free broadband Internet access, deciding to catch up on his email and such only to discover that he packed the power plug adaptor into the hold baggage so is restricted to the 2 hours the battery will last.
