Tell you the truth, I haven't renewed my passport or flown since coming into 'land' at Leeds Bradford in '07.
Misty day and coming into touchdown area when big clouds of mist obstructed the view, so we zoomed right up again to circle for a bit. I'm not really happy with these 'fly-by-wire' modern planes either. I know it's supposed to be the safest travel, but prefer other modes of transport now (I think ) - may change my mind I suppose.

No-one really enjoys flying. Hate these people who say "its the first part of the holiday". But if you fancy warmer weather and drunk women, its got to be done.

Sitting in an oxygen depleted pressurised tube for 11 hours to Vegas is no ones idea of fun but its great once you get there. Its the coming back and the jetlag and generally feeling knackered that makes it carp.

Not for safety purposes but I have always enjoyed travelling by train as the best transport - usually comfortable - you can have a drink or a bite to eat, read the paper & generally relax - pity the cost is often prohibitive

My sister in law has not flown since a very bumpy ride in a Vanguard to Edinburgh in 1958.
A friend in America got the S**t scared out him on the return leg of his first flight from a Star Trek Convention in Atlanta and has never flown again. We were on a DC9 that had an engine fail over the Atlantic. The Movie showing at the time was death trap |

Geordie1956:
I have had many delayed overcrowded journeys on the main East Coast Route. Probably the worst one was an Aberdeen to London overnight train. It was an old West Highland Line train running two hours late when I boarded it in Edinburgh. My heart sank when I found that it was full of drunken members of the London Celtic supporters club returning from a pre season friendly in Aberdeen. Towards Newcastle the engine developed a fault and was diverted to Carlisle for a change of engine. We then went on a tour of England and ended up at Marylebone instead of Kings X around noon. There was not a buffet car and water ran out to flush the toilets. |

Took an internal flight in the states one time
Got off the jumbo at newark and onto some propeller jet piece of shee-it run by a bunch of cowboys name of colgan air Fly me, the turbulence was absolutely horrific battered fae pillar to post I kid you not Sat at the back I were genuflecting, singing hymns fae me childhood english or welsh, praying tae jesus, allah, buddah, anyone who would save my sorry ass. There were a bunch of what sounded like german students on, rowdy as fluck. Should a seen them shut the fluck up when that turbulence kicked in. After about an hour of circling we finally landed Dear God I promise to be a good boy from now on Walked up to the pilot and personally thanked the boy He retorted in a smooth southern U.S. twang something like 'nothing to it buddy' Took one look at the trolley dolley and she looked like she'd just shat 7 shades of sh!te Thought the dude in the ray bans was one cool flucker Couple of months later back in dear old blighty leading my humdrum life, losing on the horses saw the news that one of thay colgan fluckers had gone down over new york No bl00dy wonder I thought Still think of that pilot boy, what become of him The devil looks after his own I guess. |

I like flights with excitable Turks and Continentals where they kneel in the aisle praying when they should be strapped in for final descent
Nice at Naples where they fly in over a cemetery. I used to work next to Battersea Heliport and used to get the odd flight from one of the pilots I knew. |
