Beauty vs Beast
So I’ve just been talking to guy who owns an Aston Martin [which he’s still trying to sell despite moving to Australia] about his search for a new car …
“It’s like splitting up with Angelina Jolie, then realising your only other options are the women in the office”
Normally I’d think this sort of bloke was a wanker … but having explained his situation so eloquently, I can actually understand where he is coming from.
Unsurprisingly though … this bloke is single, ha!
Right, time to get on a plane again – wonder if I’ll sit next to an ‘Angelina’ or an ‘Office Woman’?
Who am I kidding … it’s going to be the usual fat corporate bloke who’ll either try to start a conversation about the GDP of Asia or spend the entire flight getting pissed, farting and trying to chat-up the hostess. [ie: Andy in a suit, ha!]

thats big talk from a bloke who has had more plane “incidents” than every fat corporate business traveller combined.
Comment by andy@cynic July 18, 2007 @ 12:54 pmneed i remind you about the japanese testicle episode? what about the sound cant live in a vacuum test? or the classic hollywood stalker incident. need i go on? i think not.
fuck you and everyone like you campbell, im going to bed and will deal with you later. cock. 🙂
Great post Rob but Andy wins because your plane anecdotes are legendary. I don’t know if I’m more amazed you still fly or that the airlines still let you on their planes. 🙂
Comment by Pete July 18, 2007 @ 1:04 pmSounds like some dirt can be dished!
That said, Rob goes on more flights a week than I’ve been on in my entire life, so he is bound to have more incidents than most…

Comment by Marcus July 18, 2007 @ 5:32 pmwhat the fuck are you going on about marcus? and np, campbell falls asleep as soon as he boards a plane which is why its especially funny/fucked he somehow always manages to be visited by the fuckup fairy.
