That the usual bunch of shifties going on about airplanes are back, and probably for the last time, so could they please do us a final favour and have the red rope off the stairs for when we get there?

Now I have a dilemma. Do I try to write as many Christmas cards as possible this year or keep it in case there's a chance to swap it for a BA Exec pen?

Sadly I'll have to remain 'Indecisive' as I can't possibly try to emulate RAPC by attending all three FINAL Dos. However, I'm looking forward to the two exclusive Dos in Dublin and Manchester.

This is not going smoothly for me. BA1441 was cancelled at 1145 due to the 767 going tech. I'm rebooked on BA2939 to LGW, itself currently delayed to 1450. Assuming I survive the delights of 16B

I'm still hoping to make it at some point this evening.

sigma421 has abandoned ship - not a good option in my case as I have a follow-on jaunt to BRU tomorrow on SN.

Well it's €250 in Christmas spending money for you anyway, no?

No. And they add 1.5% to any VISA / Mastercard transactions. And they don't run a tab. Basically, cash is their preferred monetary system.

I'll be in there in about 20 minutes.

About 10 minutes from Liverpool Street on the Norwich mainline. The excitement is almost building

Still at work - then need to grab something to eat to ensure I don't end up in a heap on the floor. Will hopefully be out by 7.30pm ish. Is anyone there yet? Up or downstairs this time?
