Brammers would like to stop travelling, thanks

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.

*shakes head* I was without phone and net lately (actually still am) and am only now catching up with your adventures. One of my nephews took 28 hours to return from London to Paris day before yesterday. We're still wondering why the goddamn trains, which have had to face snow almost every winter since they started, chose this year to balk at snow and cold. Maybe it's the change from Waterloo to St Pancras?
