Random Thoughts

I think I've been watching too much Lost, as I sat down in the rear of the plane on my flight to Edinburgh I thought of myself and the people around me as "Tailies". I sat in the middle on the way back, I forgot to make a note of my seat, to see if I was sat in the same place as one of the passengers (AKA Losties).
I finally walked upstairs to the departures gate... to discover a big range of shops, and a Caffe Nero with mains electricity points everywhere! For a fleeting moment I thought I could power up my laptop... then I remembered I'd just checked in my suitcase with the laptop inside of it. Still, the coffee was quite good, and very strong.
The captain was surprisingly cheerful and even made a joke during the flight, saying that the weather in Gatwick was now a "tropical 2 degrees". Why is it that captains always have posh accents? I don't think I've ever heard a captain from Manchester, or one with a strong Glaswegian accent.
I spent over an hour sitting opposite an attractive girl. She wasn't going to be on the cover of a magazine, but there was definitely something about her that made her very appealing. She had dark brown hair that was nearly-but-not-quite black, she wore black shoes with black cotton socks, and a thick woollen black top with an intertwined pattern, and some sort of long sleeved white top underneath, and blue jeans. She appeared to be waiting for someone from international arrivals, playing with her car keys (which had an 8 ball at one end, allowing her to swing the keys around). The person never showed, and she eventually walked off, about 20 minutes before check-in opened for my flight. Which is a shame, as I was thinking of scribbling down on a bit of folded paper (so I'd hopefully have time to walk away while she unfolded it) something along the lines of "I think you are really attractive" just to brighten her day. So if that sounds like you and you were sat in Edinburgh airport yesterday evening, now you know.

Fab - Tuesday 20th March, 2007 13:50 Do you remember the Sarah I told you about (the pretty one who I went skiing with, not the one that visited me for the weekend)? Well I met her because she and a friend dropped a note on a table in a bar (a couple of my friends were sitting at that table) with her mobile on it. You never know, you might get lucky...
