Lagos was like Changi compared to Dar es Salaam last time I went through.

Great airport Changi.

To be honest, I like T3 at Dubai, it's only fault is being too narrow down the middle, but that's probably more the people clogging it up barely moving or standing in he way that's annoying.

I'd really like T3 if I didn't keep landing in ****ing sharjah and having to walk back to Dubai from every flight.

Or to a gate at the arse end. Apparently it's up to a 900m walk if they change gates from one end to the other....

I was always bewildered by a series on UK telly about Easyjet (if memory serves, it may have simply been called 'Airline' or 'Airport' although I might be wrong).... it was the worst advert for their services you could imagine - every episode featured customer complaints, delayed take-offs, arguments between employees and customers, or employees and employees.......... bizarre.

One of the Underwoods (I think) flew me to Barcelona on Easyjet once.

And yet it ran for years (10 series) and Easyjet just became more and more successful. Stelios knew what he was doing; it's the negative stories that make for good telly, but the staff were clearly doing their best and as long as the price was right, people would keep using Easyjet. It's not as if Ryanair et al don't have similar problems every day.

There are loads of episodes of Airline on YouTube.

Rory just joined Emirates I heard?

No idea mate, for some reason I had Guscott in my head but I knew it was one of a brother combo.

Good flight too from what I remember.

Almost as good as the one where my Mum got the captain to announce my 10th birthday and invite to the cockpit....only for me to be fast asleep.

The Dean

Perhaps, but it put me right off ever using them again (I suspect I'm too rich for Easyjet to want me anyway). There was also some sort of 'scandal' about how they treat disabled passengers a while back, but the selfishness of the 'I don't care - they are cheap so it suits ME' brigade knows no bounds.

Difficult to boycott an airline you weren't using in the first place, so I'm hardly in a position to do much about it anyway.......

I loved watching it until they started to follow the story of one of their young crew who had cancer - she was lovely and it was really sad - I used to sit sobbing watching it.

I think it's Guscotts brother who lives here, runs a UK franchise

I had a big argument the other day about how Guscott was a doctor.

Turns out he was a brickie...
