Arrived in Abu Dhabi and blimey duty free shops or what: Hermes, Cartier, Graff, Gucci, there was even a real Ferrari just sitting there like you do, but I was on a mission lol I needed a wee. Big mistake! As I went in the women's toilet the first thing I am greeted with is a pile of shoes, just abandoned. Then I realise the women are in the prayer room. No baby changing facilities, I would like to think that they are in the men's lol, but I think we all know the answer to that one! I was dying to take a peek but thought better not. So anyway there I am in line waiting for the loo and it was like a contingency from the UN. There were jeans, skirts, burkas, suits, hajibs, saris and then enters a bloke. Lol. Holy hell broke out lol, cleaners from goodness knows where were on him like a shot. He looked like a rabbit in the headlights! I do not have a clue what they were saying to him, needless to say I never heard shuugracum lol but I think it was 'oi knob you are in the ladies toilet you FW' (FW = fuck wit as credited to Bridget Jones lol). So that little drama over I get in the loo and what's in there waiting for me but a shower and water everywhere! Yes all the toilets had a hand hold shower for the women to wash themselves before praying and after having a wee! No bloody loo roll though, thank goodness I travel with lots of tissues. Anyway, drama of the Islamic loo over off to the shops. But, doh it was all in goodness knows what currency there is in Abu Dhabi! So if anyone can check that out and let me know I would be grateful. Need to know as they had loads of Clinique lol for 320!!!! But is that cheap or expensive? Anyone who knows me will know that I don't so foreign currency very well. However, I have longer on my return to have a good look around .......... No I'm not buying any of you a Ferrari! I think it was a Ferrari it was red with a horse on it like the Kentish horse - lol I don't do cars but there plenty of blokes dribbling all over it.
So here I am on the flight to Bangkok. Goodness knows what time it is in the UK I have lost the plot. I do know that I just had a 45 minute power nap and feel great but I think that is adrenaline! In total, I have had about three hours sleep! This flight, like the Manchester one is busy. I have to wonder why there are so many people up in the air all the time. Talking of which I watched Gravity (before the Alan Partridge tea towel giggle - I must borrow those DVDs Lee lol). It was a very good film, far better than Ithought it would be. To be honest the selection of films is a bit disappointing so iPod is on charge whilst I am typing this and good old George Michael is singing away to me - life is good!
There was free wi fi at Abu Dhabi airport but no one seem to be able to access it. So what I will do is type away and upload my rantings as and when I can. The flight from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok is just over five hours but because of all the time changes I will loose Saturday, but will be in Bangkok for Saturday night - yay! So I will try to get a kip after the next meal. Not sure if it's breakfast, lunch or dinner lol I don't know where I am. So my dear friends I will catch you later.
Well it was a lunch. I opted for the vegan option, per booked, which is good because you get it first and also you know you just won't have to make do! Anyway, it hit the spot as I had a couple of hours sleep and feel good for it. So I have just over an hour before landing and guess what I'm doing? Watching more Alan Partridge. Everyone is asleep now as it's 5:00pm local time and also it appears I am the only English speaking person sitting in this part of the plane lol so I don't care if they think I'm bonkers lol - it really is so funny, I forgot how funny it was. So phone and iPod charged, it doesn't seem to want to charge iPad, too big I guess. Listening to so e music on the plane's communication system. I can have Arabic pop, Arabic classical or the Holy Quran. The latter may come in handy if I need the loo in Abu Dhabi again :). There's also such delights as Hindi pop, Khaleeji whatever that is - I thought she was the Queen of Dragons in the Game of Thrones! We also have Sinhalese, Tamil oh and finally western pop and rock! Let's take a look shall we. Mmmmmm 1968 Irish singer Astral Weeks. 1974 Court and Spark! 1988 Essa Mulher - any if these ringing any bells yet? Oh yes the best of 2003 lol let's have a peek. Oh lol first track Mundian to Bach Ke mmmmmm. Best of 2004, best of 2005 - are you getting the picture. Quran is looking good lol. Best of 2006 and 2007 and 2008 lol. Want to guess the next? Yep 2009, let's look .......oh it's that well known track Little Man Lion lol. And 2010 lol and 2011, 12 and 13 lol! Best of 2013 makes Signal look brilliant lol! And onwards she goes, in search of something half decent. Yay back of the net lol Bob Marley that will do. Oh the Smiths too Tom Odell lol now I'm spoilt for choice lol. I shall have Bob!
Well I have now seen India from 33000 feet lol and we are now over Rangoon and I have just been handed a Thai arrival/departure card to complete. It's a stark reminder that I really must change my name as the first thing to fill in stares Family Name. It's alright for you blokes you don't have any if this crap lol. Anyway I don't have a pen it's in my bag above my head so it will have to wait until I'm in the arrivals hall. Oh they want my occupation too - Sandie lol I'm now thinking of you lol. I better not put the drug or prison word lol or it will be Bridget Jones lol. Charity worker will suffice. All done, I borrowed the woman sitting next to me pen lol, good old sign language lol.
OK so you have been spoilt, a long entry but a long flight. Don't expect this much all the time. Twenty mins to landing then off for a wee lol I wonder what's lurking in these toilets lol, get case then do the one thing that you were always told as a child not to do, get in a car with a complete stranger, give him this email in Thai lol and trust him to get me where I need to be and not some crack house or brothel lol - don't worry Auntie Pat lol it will be fine. Later my friends .......... Hopefully lol!
