        My three wishes from the Genie... Mental Powers (Mindreading, Pushing, Telekinesis and Teleportation). Immortality (With perpetual youth and unless I wished to die). Doubling of my IQ and Memory.

          I don't trust those Genies, it'll always ends up badly, look what happened to Larry Hagman.

              So, shitty parking that costs an arm and a leg, a two mile walk to the terminal because the shuttle bus isnt turnig up. A 30 minute queue to check in, and if its Ryan Air, get fucked around in some way or another. Sit in a shitty chair for an hour, trying to read, whilst digesting a revolting piece of pizza hut product followed by a small bucket of starbucks immitation muddy water. A 5 mile route march to the gate. Get in another 30 minute queue for the xray machine while uncomprehending old people and foreigners dither around taking off jewelry, shoes, chains, necklaces, belts, and empty laptops, money, keys etc, each new act needing another pass through the detector before they realise they have yet another piece of metal on them somewhere. Another 2 mile route march. Sitting in another shitty chair for an hour while the fuckwits work out what to do with the gate/doors/computer/ovberbookings/wheelchairs/prams. If you are lucky, you dont get to queue onbto a bus that then drives you 5 miles to the airplane while you struggle to keep balance and not knee/kick every other passanger in the groin, legs, back etc. A queue in the rain to board the plane while the other fuckwits work out what to do with the shitty pieces of paper each of you has. Fight your way through herds of Italian dwarves and confused old ladies/mothers who block your way while rearranging their clothing/luggage/children. And then they do it all again because they got the worng seat. Finally manage to somehow insert your almost 2 meter frame into a what is suppposedly a seat. Stand up again to let the Italian dwarf/2 meter tall American into the seat next to you. Eat something that once passed as food, and suffer the uncomfortable wind it generates that your desperately try to hold in, and suffer the wind others cant be bothered to hold in. Legs cramping, back twisted in pain, knees rammed up tight against the stupid metal hinges of the chair in front you sliently curse the world for 2 hours or so. You finally struggle off the plane, waiting in turn as the Italian dwarves and old wonmen/mothers arrange clothing/luggage/children. A 2 mile route march to the reclaim. A 30 minute wait while your luggage fails to apear. A 5 mile route march through the terminal to freedom and a fag.

                    :) I have flown alot, as you can tell. Its anything but pleasant. Except for the Bavarian restaurant at Munich airport that does a half roast duck, red cabbage, dumplings, and a half of chianti for 13 euros. That is very pleasant! :) Schipol has a superb book shop, really, truly superb, and so with the Munich restaurant thats about it. Evrything else is dire, truly dire, with OHare ranking about the worst ever. My god the US is a dump. Mind you, Indian airports are even worse. :omg: (Amusingly I once ate Kentucky in Kentucky airport! Had to really, it was shit, bit it had to be done. :) )

                      Actually, US airports vary quite a bit. In the New York City metro area, JFK is so-so, LaGuardia (LGA) is pretty sleazy (But the closest to me, so I use it often), and Newark (EWR) is really nice (Which is odd, given the city in which it's located - Newark, New Jersey). Minneapolis (MSP) is pretty nice, but a little too spread out... Atlanta (ATL) makes me cringe a bit... Sarasota (SRQ) is really nice... Anchorage (ANC) is nice... Hmm, where else have I connected through recently... Heathrow, though... Ugh... If that's the one you ranted about a couple posts back, I totally agree with you.

                        My god I hope so. If they were all as bad as OHare it would be appaling! :) I seem to recall Kentucky was OK, Housten I dont recall much of, went TWOV, did LA, Indianapolis, and Atlanta in a kind of sleep drugged state and dont recall so much about them. :) UK airports suck. They are so grimy, cheap, tacky, untidy... The food is crap too. The German ones are best IMO. Clean, classy, efficient.

                          I've never flown through O'Hare... Been through Houston, but it was so long ago that I don't remember it. Heathrow was just incredibly annoying... First time I landed there, flying Virgin Atlantic, I must have walked 2-3 miles from the gate to Customs/Immigration. The next two times I went over there, I was flying Delta, and that was a lot closer, but still quite a hike. Departing from there wasn't bad though.

                                    Nah, it was another i flew on, perhaps United? Anyway, they were crap. Really shoddy and ammateurish cabin crew. And rude. As for immigration, I havent yet had the balls to say that to the frontier police yet. Probably a good idea not to... :~

                                        My three wishes from the Genie... Mental Powers (Mindreading, Pushing, Telekinesis and Teleportation). Immortality (With perpetual youth and unless I wished to die). Doubling of my IQ and Memory.

                                          If you were given a choice to get whatever you want in life than what would you like to have in life? ... Or Imagine one fine night in the middle of the night you are woken up by a Jini! and he ask you what you want in life...and then you Imagine.....You can Imagine just anything!
