So...as I mentioned a few weeks ago I had a great 3weeks hol in Australia...plenty of sun, sea, sand and...skin! :winkiss: did lots of crazy things like jump of a bridge...jump out of a plane...climb a big bridge (Harbour)...rafting...diving in the reef, etc...even managed to spot a fair few Zeds!

 

Anyways...had my fill and happily on a flight back to London via Bangkok and an hour before we land in Bangkok (1hr transit) we get told that some hole in Iceland has blown its load and we won't be going anywhere in a hurry...

 

....5days later and I'm still here in Bangkok couped up in a hotel 60km from the city (due to the red shirt protests/riots) with about 500 other stranded passengers! The temp is averaging about 35deg celsius and my days have mostly been reduced to visiting the gym and the pool about twice a day, venturing out to various sights (I've been here before so not really looking to go sightseeing and spend even MORE money!) and getting a daily 90 min massage (for a tenner!) by a hot young thai chick....giggidy giggidy! Oh...and getting sloshed at the bar every night!

 

Could be worse...could have had to wake up for work this morning! What makes things slightly better for me is that it seems my boss is stuck in Egypt himself! My main concern now is that I'm losing the little holiday allowance I had left which means the rest of my year is going to be pretty uneventful!

 

Heard an ok topical joke as well...what's the difference between the Icelandic volcano and Cheryl Cole?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The volcano is still blowing Ash! ooooooooooooooooooooooooo....lol

:lol:

 

Feel sorry for ya matey, but I guess in a way its good! You given your thai massager the reach around yet? best not. :tt2:

dont know mate but ime not sending you any money you lucky sod....go hungry and thirsty and suffer:tongue::tongue:

haha...no reacharounds mate...though a few happy endings! lol...

 

Well I'm happy to say I got back to the UK last night on the first flight out of Bangkok and I believe the second flight to land in Heathrow.

 

After what felt like such a long wait to get back I'm a little sad to be back as was getting used to relaxing in 39c temps!!

 

Ah well...back to the daily grind now I guess....
