Whatever happened to Rincewind....

One of the four elephants standing on the back of the giant turtle fell over and Rincewind tumbled off the disc ...

No further word from the website. Boss very clear for me not to be out of pocket. Still en france so Saturday morning will not be spent buying comics as planned but buying clothes

 

[garyjohn951]

need to get your priorities right, comics before clothes

 

[simongr]

True - but if I get clothes out of the way quickly it will ensure I am focussed on comics rather than having nagging thoughts that I need clothes - also I cant wear the same trousers and shirt again this weekend - I will go mental!

Very happy to be reunited with everything

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Bloody BGI!!!!!!!!!!! Bloody BGI and it's lack of interlining.

My bags didnt come out to the carousel they were supposed to. I had 15 mins before check in closed so I went to check in - got a BP, went back into baggage collection still couldn't find my bags (I had 4 mins before check in closed) went to the desk and they had in a throng of people nowhere I would have looked for them and told me that they would get them onboard.....

I am sitting in the Doubletree on Lex planning where to buy a shirt for tomorrow

Simon, suggest next time, take a 24 hour break on the island. I can suggest a couple of places to stay. The East side of the island, looking out to the Atlantic [next stop West Africa] is breath taking. You will love it. I bet u if you did this, when you got home you would be arranging a second honeymoon.

and suggest you carry a few days of clothes changes with you when taking multi-hop routings.

Lesson very clearly learned - I am pretty confident the baggage will be here late today or at worst tomorrow morning.

I know the bags made it to BGI which is the important thing

the important question - do you have your Bath rugby top in your possession now?

 

[NM]

the important question - do you have your Bath ...

Personal hygiene is always important when travelling

"I know the bags made it to BGI which is the important thing "

I am not sure whether that is good or bad. They work on "island time" in that area of the world ......................

Feeling less confident tonight. Just had a call from AA - thought they had bags but they just needed more details

AND bought a couple more Polo shirts at bloomingdales and they forgot to remove the security tags!!!!

Starting to get to the stage of needing to replace toiletries (again) - although work are letting it slide - I look like cougheand I will never wear this great Rod + Gun shirt again at this rate

So was the extra flying and more so the stops worth the SC's and points?

 

[simongr]

Not yet - it will be on about 18 Aug when I book our RTW business class seats... at the moment - not so much fun...
