Off the the airport for a few hours of invasive hell and discomfort
I hate flying.
Hope that Brundle chap gets his technology up and running soon.

"rolling the carrot dice" is a euphemism for vomiting

My other half was scheduled to fly to Brazil on Friday
we were somewhat unimpressed that a fire had taken the whole of Heathrow out of action on that day but he got away on Saturday morning, incredibly.

I have no problem with flying but ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HATE AIRPORTS. Getting to them, getting into them, through them, out the other end it's a total pain in the prostate.

I'd prefer to just go everywhere by train for the sheer convenience of getting on in the centre of one city and off in another.

I just searched "how long would a train take to Brazil" on Bing (yeah I know, but I'm at work)
and the answer was 1 hour 20 minutes according to the AI summary at the top of the page. So I reckon you've got a good idea there.

That's kind of what I meant by hating flying
- the airports.
That bit in Love Actually where that entitled posh boy goes on about how he loves them - wanker.

what don't you like that low level hum of anxiety like margarine scraped across cold toast
as everyone around you becomes steadily more stressed and tense as you are all funnelled through increasingly closed-in spaces with ever more densely packed queues governed by progressively more arcane rules of behaviour as your personal effects are removed from you in stages until finally you ascend, blank-eyed, grey, nearly possessionless, up some tin-can-tip-tappety steps and meet the make-up masked face of someone who smiles at you like death and lets you fold yourself into your seat, 3.5cm x 4cm on the upgrade you paid for, is that what you're saying here

OTOH, it's socially acceptable to get a pint at 7:30 a.m.
So there's that.

Ex-colleage once drank two bottles of red wine by 11 am
Caused the rest of us to miss the first plane.
He blagged some stupid sob story lies about the taxi fucking us over to the boss by phone, and got told to order some wine while the next flight was arranged.
By the time we got on the plane, he was staggering drunk and covered in red wine stains.
We got upgraded to alternate seats so we could get the fuck away from him.
After he "lost" his receipts for the expenses, the company took away all the company credit cards.
Fucking cunt.

But flying is just a series of queues
and I despise queuing.

You want a pit travelator so you can interview celebrities on the starting grid without having to walk?

You just can't get good negative mass like you used to be able to.

My return flight from Costa Rica was delayed by 3 hours
thankfully San Jose is a very nice airport (as far as airports go), could have done without the TWENTY FOUR fucking hours door to door journey though.

San José was a 64-gun, three-masted galleon of the Spanish Armada de la Guardia de la Carrera de las Indias. It was launched in 1698[1] and sank in battle off Barú Island, just south of Cartagena, Colombia, in 1708,
while laden with gold, silver and emeralds worth about US$17 billion as of 2023.[3]

I will spend more time in airports than in the air on this trip
It's bollocks. At least work are paying for my dinner beers.

I wish I had enough money brains to get all the investments to set that up
- so I could sell it to Musk before the first scheduled flight, and let him find out I'd blown the money on wind turbines for poor people instead of planes.
Or something.
