Unfortunately this was as far back as I could go as I have hurt my stomach with laughing so much to read anymore would, without doubt, result in a long-term injury and sensibly I feel I should limit myself to reading only one tale a week. On the plus side I feel like I have done 100 sit-ups so have no need to go to the gym – thank you!
Redsailor Firstly welcome to TFTG land. I am glad that you enjoyed these.
We are very fortunate here at BA Forum that we are allowed to have these - and I am happy to tell them. I do have to alter some of the details but am fairly satisfied that the people who figure in these tales will not be reading them here.
Some annecdotes are too short. Some are simply unrepeatable - this is an open Forum after all. People behave on aircraft in a way that they simply do not behave on any other form of public transport. My husband considers that the lunatics have taken over the asylum.
However, we had one lady of certain years come and ask us (whilst noisily chewing gum (blue) if we have found any "foundation" garments in the bathrooms? She was certain that she had worn them aboard as there had been some commotion at security. When I said that no such garments had been handed in to my knowledge she wandered off. I mean - what did she think that she had done with them?
When she left it was noticed that she had stuck her gum on her upturned tray table. Quite disgusting. Howver some 10 or so rows back someone noticed that there was a small pile of many times washed underwear (foundation garments I ask you) on the floor. None of us understood as the WT crew swore that she had been sitting elsewhere from both gum and knickers. How on earth do these peole conduct themselves in their own home?
I got in the car and let The Pet Shop Boys take care of me.
