  1. Tooled-up at City Airport after a day working in London today - going to get a flight to Antwerp where I am running a training course tomorrow & Saturday. Got to the gate to board my flight only to discover that somehow I had picked-up the wife's passport instead of mine - doh!

    I am now on the train back to Taunton arriving 2300 to get my own passport. I will then jump back onto the sleeper service to London at 0130 arriving 0530 to get the first flight out to Antwerp tomorrow morning. Gonna be late starting my training course but hey-ho!

    So much for my relaxing evening in a Belgian hotel tonight!

  2. And it gets worse. The sleeper was delayed by nearly two hours from Plymouth so the only way I was going to get to London on time was to drive to Reading which is where I am now waiting for the first train into London at 0439. No sleep for me tonight then - nor for my Mrs who is right now driving back to Taunton having dropped me off. Ho hum.

  14. Self deprecation, the ability to laugh at ones self, demonstrate a sense of humour in adversity .

  18. I did the same on a bike trip to Italy. All the way to Mugello and back, and I only found out I'd bought my girlfriend's passport at Calais trying to get back into England. No problem though, they just laughed it off and let me through.
