As you know, I spend quite alot of my life on planes – and with that comes the issue of ‘annoying passengers’.
In my time, I’ve experienced all sorts of freaks … people fainting on me, people stealing my food, people attacking me [she was drunk and thought I’d ‘stolen’ her husband], people vomiting, people having heart-attacks, people making out, people who never shut up, people who never say a word … you name it, I’ve had one of the bastards next to me.
Well I have discovered a sure-fire way to ensure I am never bothered by this ‘sort’ again and I thought I’d let you in on it because nobody deserves to be on a plane next to one of these freaks.
1 Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.
2 Remove your laptop.
3 Turn it on.
4 Make sure the guy who won’t leave you alone can see the screen.
5 Open this email.
6 Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.
7 Then hit click here
Trust me, they won’t be bothering you again … though the US Government might be wanting a quiet ‘word’.
I’m off to HK now – if you don’t hear from me, you’ll know its because I’m currently being detained for ‘questioning’. Don’t laugh – it happened on my first visit to Shanghai where I was held by Airport Police under the guise of being a spy.
No, I am not joking … it all started when I saw a man who was the worst dressed person I’d ever seen in my life.
Seriously, he made Freddie Mercury look demure … so I had to take a photo of him to show the guys. Problem was, within 2 seconds of the ‘click’ going off on my phone, I was picked up by some burly guards, taken to a room and interrogated till they believed I was just an immature twat, not some international man of mystery.
Obviously it didn’t take them long to reach that conclusion – but still far longer than you’d think given not many British Spies wear a fucking t-shirt that say’s “Fat Kids Shouldn’t Play On See-Saws” – I mean, it’s not exactly blending into the background is it eh?
OK … I apologise today’s posts are especially shit, but I’m in a bad mood and can’t be bothered to write anything abit more ‘normal’.
Lets hope tomorrow I get out of the bed on the right side eh?!

Comment by Rob Mortimer August 13, 2007 @ 3:07 pmHa Ha Great link that one. Some Indonesian guy couldn’t keep his eyes of my powerpoint on a flight to Jakarta and it started to irritate me so I typed in huge letters on the screen “FUCK OFF” and then looked at him.
It still took him a minute to realise it was directed him but when the penny dropped he never looked at my screen or me again.
Comment by Charles Frith August 13, 2007 @ 3:13 pmYour pic reminded me that I came across this yesterday. Makes me think we’re missing a few tricks on flight design now.

Comment by Rob August 13, 2007 @ 3:47 pmPure evil, pure genius… who am I to separate the two?
Comment by Age August 13, 2007 @ 3:53 pmHaha. Genius.
I like that flash file, but I hate the idea that just because it has arabic script people think it could be a terrorist. I find that assumption so unbelievably offensive.
Comment by Rob Mortimer August 13, 2007 @ 4:40 pmI know – it’s so wrong isn’t it. Hense I said I’d be stopped by the myopic, prejudicial cocks that are American Immigration.
Comment by Rob August 13, 2007 @ 4:50 pmWell yeah, why is it that some people are just so completely short sighted?
Comment by Rob Mortimer August 13, 2007 @ 4:56 pmMyopic prejudicial cocks? LOL…
sounds like mine in all fairness 🙂
