Brammers would like to stop travelling, thanks

[blamebrampton]

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.

One day you will laugh about all this, but I suspect a lot of alcohol will be involved.

*clings to Singapore Airlines*

Best of luck, honey.

*hugs you tight*

Would you like me to do a round of groceries and make sure you have food in your house?

[clovis-t.livejournal.com]

Good luck!

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.

Best wishes!

I am so glad I only have to get to Gloucestershire.

I guess this is the point where I can't make fun of you anymore. *pets* As commenters before me said: it will all be a great tale to tell to those grand-children. Remember the time we all were stuck in Paris because the Eurostar would not .... Alcohol. Yes.

Here's hoping the flight tomorrow will work. If not, there's always ... Paris. :D

Oh dear! *hugs*

Good luck! *crosses fingers, toes and eyes*

I hope it works out and you are home in time for Christmas!

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!

I have nothing else to say but....May The Force Be With You :)

The way things are going it may be easier and probably a bit more concrete if you were able to get a ride on Santa's sled...just saying.

I'm so sorry to hear that... London is a frozen catastrophe, isn't it?

[i-autumnheart.livejournal.com]

Oh dear... fingers crossed for the new flight. Hang in there!

thinking of you, wishing you godspeed, 'cause it's gunna be a slap up feed.
Tell Grumble Bum to turn up, even if you are still in the Midlands

If you could call j and check he has done some shopping, it would be much appreciated. Webb will save us from starving if we can just get to hers, and there is always the Jewish cafe

[deensey.livejournal.com]

I will most definitely do that.

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

Nooooooo! Gaaaaaaaah. I have all fingers, toes, limbs and strands of hair crossed that they'll manage to get you home this time, babe.

*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?

There are groceries. He's prepared to a) put you to bed, b) put you to bath or c) make you hot chocolate (or d) all three) when you get home.

I'll be dropping off baked goods during the day tomorrow before we go.

[deensey.livejournal.com]

Pretend I didn't post that with my RP journal >.>

[shocolate.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am so sorry about the weather...

...it'll make a good story... eventually...

[thisgirl-is.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed for you!

I got the postcard today from Versailles. I'm afraid I look more like Dawn French. *nods chins*
