The List of Happiness

On one trip my Brothers plane got hit by lightning on the ground in Florida. He was stuck for around 2 days in the airport hotel but while he was in the various hotel Q’s another man excitedly explained to him that he had managed to book to fly to Manchester on Thomson airways and would then make his way from there to London. The man managed to do this just as he got to the front of the Hotel assignment Q so he gleefully told them he did not require a room. A few hours later my brother came down from his room to get an update and the man was still there. “Why are you still here?” asked my brother to which he replied miserably “The Thomson flight was cancelled”. Naturally he had also been put to last place on the hotel room assignment Q. The best laid plans….

The peerless Father Ted of course is always worth viewing. Couple of my favorites are Ted talking about their new house mate "No I don't think even Hitler would be playing Jungle Music at 2am in the morning!" and to Dougal in another episode "Stop embarrassing me in front of real people!"

Read Redshirts by John Scalzi and could not stop laughing at the description of the "effect" by the protagonists shipmates....and Kerensky's list of injuries. All those poor away team members....

The feeling when you have not really enjoyed your time visiting somewhere!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWSc_jwJ1OQ (although NY is great to visit of course if you are not Homer!)
