I am still slightly exhausted, but getting closer and closer to full functionality. The trip over was pretty painless, as the plane was pretty empty. I was able to stretch out across the entire row. Sadly the plane’s entertainment system was broken, which made the flight seem annoyingly long. They did, however, replace the movie with free alcohol, so it was a bit more bearable. One thing that did suck was the lack of power ports on the plane. Seriously?? It is 2008 you know?! I could have at least watched a couple of the movies I had on my laptop. Oh well.
The plane landed at Gatwick around 6am. Customs gave me the 3rd degree about my travels. Totally my fault though. When I was initially asked what I was in the UK for, I responded “sin and debauchery”. They apparently didn’t appreciate my humor. heheh. From there, it kind of went downhill. I picked up my luggage and phoned George. He said he would be there in about 1.5 hours. No biggie.. I’ll just have a bit of brekky and relax for a bit.
My phone isn’t working over here. So George had no way of contacting me, but after about 2 hours, I phoned him back. It went straight to voicemail, but I left a message that I would be at the Starbucks, etc..
Long story short… after playing phone tag for a bit, George rang back and caught me on the payphone. That’s when we figured out he was at Heathrow. Doh!!
I ended up taking a train down to Hastings and arrived just before George did.
more later… I’m off into town for a bit.
Glad you got there safely!
I see your friend is reading “Only Forward” . I just completed the book myself. It didnt exactly redefine the thriller but it was a page turner. well enough.
Hi Critter, hows it going back in the states? Hope the flight home was cool..Nice pic by the way, dont want to dissapoint Nicholas above but I don’t think olly is actually reading “Only Forward” I think he just using it as a convinent source of roach paper, he’s on a novel a day now.
Do remember the drunken conversation in Porters about you linking to my website from your log to help me out with my page rank??? If you can that would be cool..
I just realised I haven’t had a piss up since I saw you so that must be almost a week and a half….damn
Just as well i’m working in the Anchor tonight and the alcholic beverages will be nice and handy…Catch you later.
@Nicholas: I need to start reading again. It would be nice, even if I only squeeze in a few minutes each evening. Was /great/ to finally meet you, Nick.
@Simon: ha! Yeah, I remember… I will get a couple links up this week. Was good seeing you again, mate.
WAIT! you….with HAIR? this is NOT the Critter I have come to respect, adore, and follow….. just sayin….
