She's left me!
-
Mrs Wife has left me! She's flown to Hungary 'due to work commitments' and I will follow on Friday with the girls. So I have a week to kill before holidays, then 10 days with the family. After that Mrs Wife comes back, this mysterious 'work' thing again, and I have another 3 weeks with the girls. I will have to spend most of the summer on the beach. It's a bummer, I know, but I think I can just about handle it. Actually she hasn't left. She just called to say the delayed flight has been delayed again. She's due out around 6 now; so she'll take off around the time she should have been home. And the airport what is all FUBAR? Why, tis Luton; 'The Gateway To Chavs'.

Hope that the flight won't be cancelled. Happened to me once in Washington Dulles Airport: hydrolics problems on an Airbus. Well, luckily, there was another Delta flight to Los Angeles at about the same time. It was at that time a brand new B 757, 2 hours late.

If it is cancelled, there's another flight at 8:30 - she'll love that. My worst delay, to date, was 24 hours. My flight was cancelled and there was no room until the next evening.

24 hours in Luton airport or 17 in Harare? I'm sure I'd never have to want to make that choice, especially having sat through the 17 hours in Harare. They don't have gin, just gin rummy and you have to bring that with you. :(

My worst delay was about 7 hours, in Karachi. Mind you, that'd be better than a ten minute delay in Luton. And Karachi involved a body search at gun point...

No, mon. She wanted to go... Sorry, sorry - wrong joke...

But it was the rubber gloves that made you very nervous?
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

No, I think it was the psycho-looking pair on the safe ends that made me nervous. Rubber gloves would have come in handy as fluid containers... :~

A few years ago... A planned quick weekend with wife and son to Las Vegas (flying out of Tulsa, OK - the best possible thing you can do in Tulsa is leave but that's another story). Leave on a Delta subsidiary "Com-Air" Friday at 4:30 pm, get to Vegas around 7:15 pm, fun, fun, fun until Sunday evening late return - nice hotel booked, with tickets for shows Friday night and Saturday night already reserved. We've been looking forward to it for weeks. Plane is at marshalling point (end of runway waiting to take off) we are settled in and have decided on the chicken rather than the beef for the meal coming later. Beep! This is your captain speaking... We have a red light here we need to have checked before we can go - we may be delayed a few minutes, just stay in your seats until we get this minor problem checked out, sorry, blah blah blah... Two hours later we taxi back to the terminal and get off so we can wait in more comfort for the minor problem to be resolved (a faulty brake hydraulic pressure sensor, apparently) no biggy, no problem - we'll be going in just a few minutes more, honest! Seven hours after the scheduled departure time they come to us and admit they can't fix it for some reason and no replacement aircraft is available as it is too late to bring one in (their pilots are afraid of the dark we assume). It will be their pleasure to put us on the next available flight - which is Sunday morning at 10am getting in by around 1 pm. Our return flight leaves on Sunday at 8:30 pm giving us - with transit to and from the hotel we no longer have rooms in, security delays, etc. about 4 hours to run around the Strip. We are all so tired and p***ed off that we go home and I demand a refund plus costs of the wasted hotel rooms and the shows we missed. This takes six months and many threats from our travel agent, but comes through. Not one penny more than the cost. No compensation for sitting around on a plane going nowhere for two hours and then another five hours in the terminal gate - which, being Tulsa had basically closed down for the night after we got on the plane - so no restaurants, bars or even working vending machines. We re-christened "Com-Air" to "Con Air".

Come on. Admit it. Your wife is a hit-man (hit-woman, hit-person?) for British Intelligence and these "work commitments" are actually assignments to remove certain pesky foreigners with full prejudice.

At least she did not get smart and just leave you for good, going to Caribbean island to be on the beach while you raise the girls.

you're so kind. :laugh: Anyway, the house and one flat are mine and it looks like most of the savings are in my name too. So she'd still have to work even if she dumped me. Actually a good example of what we're like is last night. We went to see J-Lo and Lionel Blair Richie at Hyde Park and we got chatting to some girls next to us. One of them asked if we were 'on a date', to which I laughed and said kind of even though we've been married 12 years. Her response was "12 years? No way! You're still kissing."

My favorite delay was one I encountered regularly. I used to fly from Milwaukee to San Diego and back for work fairly regularly. On the way back, I always had the 'pleasure' of changing planes at O'Hare. Not once was the plane ready and available to take me from Chicago to Milwaukee for the last leg of my trip. Usuaully, the offer was to 'try' to get me on a flight the next afternoon. If you aren't familiar with those cities, Google directions say you can walk from O'Hare to Milwaukee airport in less than 24 hours. It always frustrated me that it took longer to fly than to walk.
