Wasn't looking forward to the flight today because i'm flying economy for EIGHT hours...I can't think of many things worse than that! Its not because i'm a flying snob that I prefer business class or if very lucky first class...its because i'm 6'1" and 17 stone and economy seats are built for 5'5", 10 stone people. Having booked these flights so late there was no chance of picking up the business class seats for the right price. The best quote I got for the three of us was around the £5,000 mark which for an eight hour flight was a piss take!! So economy it is.

To be honest the flight wasn't that bad. I just have to spend most of the flight standing up obviously with my head ducked down because the plane is designed for people no taller than 5'5" standing or sitting. Was nice to find a few friendly faces on the plane in the shape of BadBeat members banksoir and dazzler...and I must say I found great pleasure in watching someone as big as me in banksoir suffer as much if not more than me...i'm so sad.

In hotel room now local time is 18.00. The missus and kid already fast asleep as the time difference and jet lag kick in and i'm left watching the pay per view movie on my own and at $11.99 i'm going to watch it all to the bitter end even if is about a rat who ends up cooking in a top class restaurant!! Now seriously...how do you come up with that script?
