Datsuncog Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 My chariot doth arrive. Always nice to get on, only for the driver to then kill the engine, get off and close the doors, then walk away. I've only been on a few minutes and I'm starting to understand why yappy dogs in parked cars are so yappy. catsinthewelder, privatewire, Tickman and 11 others 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Stage 3 complete... now for Stage 4. I don't actually need to fly, I just enjoy paying £1.99 for a Snickers. Seems all the airport's faux-artisanal eateries don't open at the weekend. Meh. LightBulbFun, Coprolalia, Saabnut and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Well, it's a veritable AS tombola... where oh where in these sceptred isles is our reluctant hero heading? Got a fair while to wait yet, so continued to explore the airport. Haven't been here for a few years either. Another closed eaterie provided a degree of nostalgia rush... But of course, there's no diecast tat to be found here. OR IS THERE?? bunglebus, GrumpiusMaximus, Shite Ron and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Stage Five begins with Hitch The First. To avoid carrying large sums of cash in laughable Norn Iron not-real toytown banknotes, I'd elected to withdraw the purchase price upon arrival. Here's hoping it's a localised issue... But! On with Stage 5. Any guesses yet? Coprolalia, Shite Ron, Dave_Q and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
