    You can't win seat wise. if you sit by the window going to the pisser is a pain. sit in the aisle someone will wake you up wanting to go to the toilet or will knock into you as they walk past.

    I dislike people on planes who sort of dither around standing about. or dash to the bogs before landing.
    I often won't use the toilet at all.
    The aisle is clearly best, f. The middle seat is clearly the worst. If you've a strong bladder, the window seat's OK. It also gives you somewhere to rest your head when sleeping.

    Dancing? I thought you didn't dance?

    It was Kalaka'aua Avenue, wd f! Isn't it Princess Kalaka'aua Avenue? It was that trip that really turned me on to travelling. My eyes were opened to a world of possibilities, like McDonalds serving fantastic roast beef sandwiches.

    I like the window. I get annoyed before I even have sat down. with that blanket and pillow on my seat. So instantly I have objects I don't want in my limited space.

    We're going to have Robbie Savage and Michael Owen on commentary. I say "We". I don't have BT but I'm now wondering why I still have Sky.
    Oh, yes. And a bird's commentating on it. I remember now.

    I'm getting so old I can't even remember what I got outraged about last week anymore.

    I have seen pyramids and temples in the jungle of Guatemala while tripping on acid. An utterly incredible experience.

    And completely ruined by the flight there and back.

    I find most planes work, although the old 777s are knocking on a bit these days.

    I did, back in the day. I pushed out ace bangra moves until 4 a.m. in a club in Delhi one night until, noticing that the atmosphere had changed somewhat at the alcohol took proper hold, I said to the massive Sikh next to me, "I shouldn't really be here, should I? I'm going to get stabbed, aren't I/ I should leave, shouldn't I?" And he replied with utmost gravity, "Very wise, sir."
