Another rant.
I’ve been looking forward to the maiden flight of the A380 for a few years. Oh yes Geoff. Today was the big day. I had the live feed from the BBC on. Nothing was happening. For ages. So I got distracted by, er, work. A mate reminded me:
“How’s the plane doing?”
“Don’t know, was sat on the tarmac. Let’s see… oh fuckit.”
Plane was in the air. Missed it. Gutted.
Oh, shut it. I’m a plane geek.

Interesting. I can’t wait to sit on an A380 from Melbourne -> Singapore -> HK (Singapore Airlines naturally..)
I watched it - impressive - whatever they say about room at the gates, I am more worried about the immigration queues it could cause!
