    Attached on a flight...

    Coming back from the French apartment back from Girona last night. Most of the passengers were on a package holiday, it was like something of a sitcom - crew ran out of seatbelt extenders trying to get the slimmest of the chubsters to free up the extenders for those who would prevent the take-off from happening....

    Well, old-aged muppet next to me refuses to lower the arm-rest as he is squarely in half of my seat. His wife was pretty large so instead of squashing up to her he takes over my seat. He turned psychotic punched me in the ribs and kicking my leg rubgy ruck style. Crew were good, took me to the galley, tried to get matey boy to move but he refused to obey their command, so put me to another seat and kept me supplied with gratis gin and tonic all flight. Crew are making a flight report, I really hope that the airline take their own action to the loon.

    I felt like I was in filming for Airport 3......

      So did you get one or did you have to do without?

      Despite all that my sympathy is still with the old aged muppet having to sit next to you for any length of flight. It appears his course of action was indeed the correct one.

            Those who have met Wilmslow know that he makes a lamp-post look chubby. Unless the fat old git(MF?) actually took 2 whole seats I reckon Wilmslow had plenty of space.

              Only relative to Mary Poppins.

                Why should we let trivial facts get in the way of a good joke?

                  When you have neighbours like Wilmslow's, might be best.

                  Not that I ever let facts get in the way of my CUK posts.

                    What do you expect if you fly ChavAir? I always "borrow" Sas's private jet (he doesn't know, so don't tell him).
                    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...
