Hi all

It took ages to leave my house this morning, double checking everything before i managed to sort myself out. i know that it is something i need to sort out. I'm ok if someone drags me away from the house but I came to the airport on my own so I knew it was going to be s***.

Just checked in and went through customs, typically the beepers were giving it some so had to get a more thorough search. Im not sure why i always get searched worse than others, when i used to go to raves i was always the one the bouncers used to pick on. I think it is cos either i look dodgy or dodgy items can be lost within the surface area of my body...

Did the whistle stop tour of duty free, what a waste of time duty free is if your not a smoker or a alcoholic. Everything is well overpriced, it was ok when I was a smoker I could get loads of tobacco to sort me through my holiday. I bought another memory card and it cost me twice as much as it would of done in currys so proper fleeced there.

Anyway sat having a beer whilst waiting to board, although they have just called which seems way to early I need to get another few beers in me before I fly just in case the beer isn't free on the flight...or even worse it is a dry flight. The last time I went to Thailand in 2005 I got extremely pissed on the flight, well you spend loads on the flight so you have to get your money's worth. I just remember waking up after passing out and walking round Bangkok airport looking for luggage with a giant safety pin holding up my only pair of jeans. When I retraced my steps I worked out that I had broke my zip after performing Jane Fonda star jumps in the toilet....

Due to the cold weather I'm so over dressed i look like I'm just about to go walking round the peaks and not for a holiday round SE Asia in the summer. I've got a jumper and a walking coat on, I'm not sure if they'll be much use.

Anyway I'll be boarding soon and my drinking has slowed down a bit since starting to write this so ill get going.
