Patience is, I am told, a virtue. 
CreativeBill will NOT let you down, I'm sure.
Oh, and Rome wasn't built in a day. That's something else I remember from school. ;-)

Those of you waiting with such bated breath will be pleased to know that the first half of the group have made their return safely. Our dignity may be a little chipped around the edges, but our laughter lines are definitely deeper.
Goodness, we have some stories to tell..... As we speak, words are being written, pictures perused and the (in)famous video footage is in the editing suite. It is going to be mammoth, so please bear with me whilst we compile amid the inconvenience of work commitments.
In the meantime, if anyone has ever wondered what happens when 23 FT'ers descend en mass upon a Seoul drinking establishment, this pic may hold a few clues.

Here`s a few shots of our trip, we departed on the 08th in F, and we learned this was the media flight carrying Willie Walsh.
After working Nightshift i arrived at the Concorde room and enjoyed the breakfast
Followed by a relaxing spa and a generous 4 glasses of Bolly.
Our Aircraft today was G-YMMN, it had been in the hanger for a few days, no doubt getting spruced up for its outing today. Nice touch with the South Korean and British flags at the front.
Had a brief chat with Mr Walsh, who was friendly, approachable and has a good sense of humour. And no he confirmed he doesn`t play golf with MOL.
In flight pictures. The crew were great, but there was lots of them as this was a media flight. Apparently they had been nominated by their other mixed fleet colleagues to operate the flight.

Breakfast at the Asiana F lounge

He looks happy!
You look happier!
I bet the crew were top notch for this flight, considering they had the big boss and media onboard!
They're 태생생생생생생생생생생생생생이 귀한 !
(They're Grrrrrrrrrreat!)
Excellent, can't wait to see the vid!

I wouldn't know Willie Walsh if I had been sitting next to him. Definely a happy soul as said already.
Looks weird with snow everywhere. Still can't believe it gets that cold there but then again looking at the map, it's a lot further north than I though it was.
