    Is it too early...

    To have a massive paddy at the airport. Seat moved to a tulipty one in Economy and just had my 15 year old Swiss army knife confiscated as I accidently left it in my hand luggage. They measured the fricking blades. All passed accept the 'saw' which was 4mm too long. What do they think I'm going to do? Knock up a bookshelf and take over the ******* plane! :rant:

    What next?!?!

              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                So this is more likely to be a rant about not being allowed to take a knife on board (however non-lethal it may be) rather than a legitimate moan about having your set downgraded??

                  That's some utility if you can get a bookshelf pregnant with it. Where can I get one?

                    I assumed he felt he had a 'good' seat in economy before, and had been moved to a 'bad' seat in economy. Assuming he really is in an airport. Travelling to another country for a perm job.
                    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
