Boring car collection.

[Jim Bell]

Oh hang on, false alarm. It's this worse one.

 

[Jazoli]

They are fine planes, the missus flies on one exactly the same several times a month, they are a bit noisy but fast and comfyish.

Is there a bell I've to ring so he knows to stop at my stop? Or do I just stand up?

[Guest Hooli]

Looks like an Embardier? First commercial thing I flew on too.

Don't sit at the wrong end, they go to different airports.

[GeordieInExile]

Flying food.

 

Wholesome breakfats.

Every airport should have a Greg's.

I love that Greggs. Nothing says "welcome home" after getting off a plane like a stottie and a corned beef bake.

[somewhatfoolish]

I'm through security and now I'm in a shopping centre. What is the fuck is going on? Is this even a real airport!?

I'm gonna follow the herd.

It's a cunning plan by all major british airport owners to put people off flying by making would-be travellers walk several miles through endless chicanes of overpriced shit that they can buy any-fucking-where; I suspect they have shares in Welcome Break or perhaps Arriva. Funnily enough airports in Furrin generally do not feature this weird predilection with lengthy labyrinths of retail, consequently I don't hate the experience quite as much.

Looks remarkably like Lulsgate.

 

Embraers are the staple of noisily turbopropping people in moderate discomfort from place to place.

AS version of the national carrier here - been on them loads of times - in and out of the same airport. The garden shed type properties of the corridors and 'gates' are a true AS style flying experience. You couldn't have chosen a better* cherry popping location.

The Greggs is tiny but full of the great NE style artery blockers.

 

The noise and vibration of the turbo props are actually a kind of aviation fuel lullaby………..

 

Chodspeed……..

[cort16]

Flymaybe every time I’ve flown with those bastards the flights been cancelled or delayed . Bastards.

 

Flymaybe turbo prop, leaving from north east, 1hr 20

Minute flight. By my calculations you’re going to Carlisle ?

 

Good luck with you collection and first high altitude poo.

Please tell me in which airports in which countries one is not herded through consume, obey, conform heaven, which is particularly pleasant* for people who have a perfume allergy, like me. On the plus side, the eateries allow me to nick a set of cutlery to replace the one the security stripped me of minutes earlier, despite me telling them I'll replace it in a few minutes, or wait until I'm actually in the plane, where they hand them out anyway.

They can only be found fast and comfyish by someone who finds an LDV Sherpa fast and comfyish. Well, they are marginally faster and more comfy than having cold water in one's boots while bicycling uphill through a blizzard with headwind while towing a trailer, so you may have a point.

[binhoker668]

Are you off to Belfast?  Has a sneakret deal been hatched with Mr D. Cog? 

[Junkman]

Do the waitresses on board still wear those fatuous cheesecake uniforms that were already clownish in the 50s?

Do they still show you on an overland flight how to put on the swim vests, better ones being obtainable from a souvenir shop in Cromer?

[Shirley Knott]

Go canny on your way back, it seems to have descended into 'OMGSNOWCHAOS' this morning! Chester-Le-Street is already sat under an inch of the white stuff.

Dash 8 Q400 probably, that's what most of their fleet is; the modern equivalent of a Shorts 360, the Sherpa of the skies.

That's the one. I'm flying on an identical one in a few hours back home to Southampton Airport. Great little planes and a great little airline (now saved from extinction).

[Jim Bell]

Well I'm down and alive.

 

I saw the channel but I'm still in England.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

Plane was busy but luckily there was an empty seat next to me. Result.

 

 

[Jim Bell]

Plane car.

[Jim Bell]

I survived.

[Junkman]

Why are the seats covered in the same material as dentist's chairs, or sofas in asylums?

[oldcars]

Lots of people in the queue "on business" Speaking of that did you manage to up the "business" count in the air sir?

[Jim Bell]

[Jim Bell]

Meanwhile in Newcastle:

 

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Not content with one hairdressers car, are you buying Chegger's TT ?

[bramz7]

Wait, you're not buying something off of me that I forgot about are you?

[Jim Bell]

And now a ground bus.

 

 

 

 

I am really collecting THE most boring car. I feel the need to apologise in advance I'm fact.

[Jim Bell]

Still. Only a short drive home.

The GGG was there.

 

 

We wondered how many H vans had to die to build that airport.
