Re: So I'm sitting in an airport departure lounge... p hart - 14/04/2004 12:57:22 PM

...waiting for my flight back to the UK, which doesn't depart till 11.30, and I figured it's time for a survey. Oh, and I've only got 10 minutes of internet time left, because I can't be bothered to buy more, so it'll have to be a quick one.

1. Have you ever been on an airplane?yes

2. Where did you go? Or if you fly too much to say all, where do you go most of the time?wherever scotland are playing i fly in 2 weeks to copenhagen.I also fle to america once,really hungover(long story) that was a chore.I have missed flights(back from amsterdam)waiting 10 hours in schipol.

3. Do you like flying? Why (not)?its pretty good,most of the time im excited about the game.I also look forward to the food i don't know why?

4. Don't you just love sitting at an airport waiting for your flight? I know I do. So many people to watch, so many things to see....It's great i sit in the pub talking and having a laugh, a wee singsong.

5. Any funny plane/airport related stories?Loads Missing flights.getting up my kilt filmed by a 50 year old woman, i just noticed this red light and turned round and some dutch woman was filming up my kilt(must have had zoom lens ) Met these guys who were 17 hours late for flight(they got there days mixed up) loads more as well.

6. What do you usually do during your flight? Just sit and wait? Read? Sleep?sit in the bar

7. Window or aisle seat?aisle (easier to get to the toilet, i used to like window when first flying but i have been on so many flights it doesn't matter now.

8. Have you ever missed a flight? If so, what did you do?yeah, well we (my mate and i) were so drunk we laughed and got something to eat my mate whos fault it was then went sick i kept on laughing, we got a flight 10 hours later to heathrow, then the last flight up to edinburgh. it was great.Almost missed my flight to america as well, i now hold the record for kingscross to heathrow.

9. What's your favourite airport? Why?not chicago anyway, i had been on a plane for 8 hours and needed a fag, i walked for 45 mins to get outside but it was still miles away. I like edinburgh or glasgow because its home, its also small, frankfurt is huge as well.

10. If money wasn't an issue, would you travel by plane more often?I travel as often as i want.

11. If you could take a flight to anywhere you want, but you'd have to leave right now, with just enough time to pack a suitcase, where would you go?Villareal to see the celtic game tonight,I don't support celtic but it would be a good game to see.

12. Has the airline ever lost your suitcase? Which airline was it?LOL no i usually only take hand luggage no need for underwear with kilts,just passport pair of socks tooth brush money passport and 3 scotland tops.

13. It looks like I'll be flying a lot in the years to come. What airlines should I avoid?easyjet are ok but if you miss there flights they are bad, Bmi were amazing with us when we missed our flight,we never had to pay anything, i sent the ladies a box of chocaltes back to amsterdam they were that great,they loved the fact we weren't that bothered.although one guy in heathrow was really bad!!

13 questions....that'll have to do. Thank you for your time, and enjoy, or something. I'll go and find myself some food now, because they don't even feed you on these short flights....a sandwich with a slice of cheese that tastes like plastic is the best I can hope for. I'll read your replies tonight when I get back no probs


"Sorry. Can't stand reflexive used as a subject."

Funniest thing me and my mates have ever heard/seen.

No one would set up a firing squad just to give people a job
