    There's a good Minster and mill complex in Halifax, tbf.

    I have to get up regularly to get some feeling back in the legs and get the movement back in my dodgy knee. Aisle seat is the only option.

    A middle seat on a long haul flight is grounds for immediate suicide as far as I am concerned.

    They probably thought you were taking the pīss. As a white man dancing to bhangra, it's sort of hard not to look like you're taking the pīss imo. Partly because you probably are - at least partially.

    And completely ruined by the flight there and back.
    It only really bothers me when I am doing it all the time. I do hate it, but its something you just have to endure. Give me an aisle seat and leave the **** alone and I can cope. When people start ****ing with me they are just asking for trouble, particularly if I am into 6 or 7 hours without a fag.

    The window seat also gives you great power for annoying people if you decide to shut it in order to sleep or stop light irritating you. People who haven't opted for a window seat seem to think its their right to look out of YOUR window. Cheeky cünts.

    You think the UAE is a Wahhabi autocracy?

    You really haven't visited it, have you?

    The really depressing thing about flying regularly is calculating how much time you have wasted hanging around in fücking airports. The closer the reaper's blade gets to me, the more I resent this.
