Guess where I am?
Did you guess a city that starts with L and ends with ondon, on the shittest computer known to humankind? Well done!
BAA and BA both exhibited staggering uselessness as I waited for five hours for a flight that was cancelled, but no, we won't help you out with accommodation, as it's a code share.
'We can get you to Germany in the morning, though.'
'Yeah, I'm going to Sydney.'
'You're on your own for that bit.'
Luckily, I had already been on the phone to Qantas and secured a new flight for only the cost of one kidney. She had wanted to get me home late Christmas night ...
'Please,' I said, 'I am happy to throw money at this. I was trapped with the Eurostar and am a woman on the edge.'
'OK, I will see what I can do. Can I put you on hold?'
'Only if you promise no more I Still Call Australia Home, I am very close to desecrating the grave of Peter Allen at this point.'
Allegedly, I fly out a 11 tomrrow and in on Christmas Eve night. Hunny and Webb, I hope to see you both and all the others, but may be unconscious. Or in the Midlands ... If I get home, I BELIVE THAT EVERYONE WILL BE RECEIVING LOVELY ORIGAMI BIRDS for Christmas. And since this kyboard is poainfully shitful, on tht note, I leave you.

Date: 2009-12-23 12:04 am (UTC)Yes, there will be some very good stories coming out of this, in a while... I think I am very lucky that I only had to buy one extra bus ticket, and have 4 or so hours added onto the trip.
May you have better luck with the insurance company than you have with the transport companies.

Australia has been missing you. It's been hot and awful, I think the country is having a tantrum. I'm hoping your return will mean that the predicted cool change will kick in!
