on a lighter note...


We had one of those on a flight from Heathrow to Lusaka..in the days when BA had direct flight...2 of our friends were in economy and this totally pissed guy we had seen in bar on way to gate decided to start trying to open the door in that section....nothing came over the speakers so me and my mate further towards the front didn't know anything about it....but our friends down there were watching him and the air hostess was trying to stop him....they asked if could help...she said yes that would be great, as if I can't stop him we will have to divert...they said don't worry not a problem....one owned a building company and had worked on sites before that..other one wasn't brightest button in the pack but very strong....they basically grabbed the guy hammered him into the floor right at the back where no seats were ...and then sat on him for rest of flight while enjoying plenty free drinks from the hostess...if he moved he got a reminder to shut up and stay still....when we were disembarking with them we couldn't understand why the cabin crew were filling their carry ons with bottles of champagne etc and saying thank you...then they explained...they said when she said the flight would be diverted they decided that wasn't happening...was long time ago...now they probably would have been in trouble for sorting him out ...

At one time I worked at the airport, in the international zone. One night, in the dead of night, I went into a bar to get coffee. The bartender looked at me and something prompted him to ask, "Are you flying to Ulaanbaatar?" Out of surprise, I couldn't find what to say, but he took it for consent, and handed me a shot. I didn't argue. Since then, the expression "well, let's fly to Ulaanbaatar" has appeared in our company.
