When were you last really scared?We'd been watching the Shining. We were staying in an old church building. In hindsight, taking the shortcut home after midnight, in the mist, through the old graveyard was a bad idea.
I'm not sure what started it, but suddenly all the hairs on my neck had gone up and I was crapping myself. It was almost as bad as when, after a few cups of coffee too many and buzzing on caffeine, I got freaked out by my own reflection in the toilets.

TERMINAL FEARI HATE flying. And I mean really really dislike it. The idea of being 30-odd thousand feet in the air in a metal tube (i suffer from vertigo, oh and Im a bit claustrophobic)doesnt make me a happy bunny. Went to Prague last week with the boys from the office, (see ripped off QOTW)and on the flight back, it was like bieng with 'Balsa Wood Airlines'. It was actually Thompson, but meh. Takeoff ok, flight a wee bit turbulent, but it was the landing I will never forget. Clearly coming in too high AND too fookin fast, the pilot (bless 'im) decided to literally drop the last 100 or so feet like a bastard rock. A roof panel in the cabin fell on several of the passengers. I (and others) screamed like particularly terrified airoplane passengers and the full reverse thrusters were duly whacked on. So now we were hurtling towards the terminal and sounding like a kettle. Ive never been so glad to get off a form of transport in my life. The stewardess knew not to ask me if I'd 'Enjoyed my flight' by the look on my snow-white face. Next time, I'll fucking walk.
Length? it satisfied over 60 paying customers :)
