The usual level of sensibility has attached to his preparations for the trip and rather than heading home the night before to pack he headed out for the fat end of a gallon of beer with Chappers and Sidoli (whilst watching The Arsenal stuff Sparta Prague) before staggering home and throwing a few things in a bag.
Following that start the 0500 alarm call was unwelcome to say the least and his mood barely improved when the taxi was late leading to rather frantic scenes at the bus station but he made it.
Heathrow produced its usual horrors with long queues and screaming kids (although a broken luggage conveyor added to the exciting mix on this occasion) but a breakfast at the fish bar (passim) settled him down although the hangover has rather knocked the edge off the trip.
At least the ‘plane has a decent entertainment system (are you listening Air Canada).
