  1. The bus driver is shouting at other road users. #dddsw
  2. Waiting on a bus to the #dddsw campus. 4 minutes according to the sign.
  3. @betsyweber indeed I am. :-) #dddsw
  4. @AdamPidgeWhite thanks. :-)
  5. @garyshort hotel breakfast? @GuySmithFerrier was promising a gluttony of food last night, all much better than any hotel breakfast. #dddsw
  6. Once I get to the UWE Frenchay campus, what building am I heading for? #dddsw
  7. @GuySmithFerrier it wasn't just the cream teas. There were cornish pasties too.
  8. @serialseb I also once overheard "any more than a mouthful is a waste".
  9. Going off line now. See you all in Bristol. #dddsw
  10. @Ruiner85 how come you're in Dundee?
  11. This is going to be a long flight. The cow beside me is throwing stuff into her seat, missing, and hitting me without so much as an apology!
  12. On board... I bet @Ruiner85 is glad he's not with me. EasyJet passengers can be a little pushy trying to get the best seats.
  13. Oh, body hell! The free for all madness that is easyJet. Unfortunately they're the only airline that fly from Glasgow to Bristol.
  14. Well, I've got my boarding pass now and I'm back on the bus to the airport. Thankfully it's a very frequent service.
  15. Of all the stupid things to forget, I got half way to the airport before realising I'd left my boarding card in the kitchen!
  16. @GuySmithFerrier Cream Teas!!! Lovely.... But really not good for my waistline. I put on 2kg last week with all the cream teas I had. :-(
  17. @garyshort You are way ahead of me already. My flight isn't until 21:45! I don't get to Bristol until 22:55.
  18. Bah! Flying sucks if you're hand luggage only and all 4 of your travel containers are 50ml.
