Lads On Tour Are Coming Fur YOU!

So you have all heard of the movie terminal yeah? You know the one with Tom Hanks where he is literally stuck in an airport and can’t get out? Well I am pretty sure we were in just in the sequel.

Of course this would happen. Imagine, four young backpackers getting ready to start their journey, picturing the first celebratory drink in the airport, testing out their backpacks to make sure that they just break their lower backs and no more, getting excited for all the ‘unique’ and ‘personal’ treasures they will collect on their way – like string anklets, hair braids and a tattoo of the infinity sign that reads ‘Life Love Laugh’. Imagine the smiling faces of these individuals, only to be ruined by the fact they find out that their flight has been delayed meaning they will miss their connecting flight to their destination and the next one isn’t for another three days.

Yeah these poor souls were us and I can tell you that it was, to put it bluntly – an absolute kick in the balls.

We were literally about to step out the door to the airport when we found out that our flight was delayed by 7 hours (yes, 7 hours, like what the hell even is that? Did the pilots decide to stop half way for a pint and a packet of McCoys?) and before you could say ‘let’s think rationally’ me and Sam had gone all Scottish and were ready for a fight, Rustin had grabbed his didgeridoo and was keen to whack a bitch and Liam, well Liam was there being very British and was probably the one that was going to actually sort us out and not end up in jail. So with a strong team the ‘Lads on Tour Asia Squad’ decided to go to the airport regardless and demand that our many accents be heard and that justice was prevailed!

Marching up to the desk at JKF (buzzing for a square go) we were told that we couldn’t do anything about the connecting flight until we landed in the lay over airport, Stockholm. ‘Okay’ we said, just as well for them, they were save from my fists of fury…. for now.

After a 7 hour wait in the airport, a few beers, bloody marys and chicken wings (which were pretty good actually) we boarded our flight to Stockholm ready to rest for the next day – when we would fight for all humans that can only afford cheap airlines that nobody has ever heard of and probably require each individual passenger to give the plane a wee push to get it going. Yeah, we had our game faces on.

Arriving in Stockholm (after finding our luggage at a completely different part of the airport, good tactic, giving yourself time to prepare for the battle), we headed to the customer service desk, guns blazing, hearts pounding, fists clenched…..

Liam (all posh and British) - ‘Excuse me, our flight was delayed by 7 hours and we therefore missed our connecting flight to Bangkok, what are you going to do about it?’

Customer Service Wumen – ‘How about a free night’s stay in the airports 4 Star hotel, complimentary breakfast, lunch and dinner and use of all facilities and a change of flight for tomorrow with a 5 star airline’

Us – ‘Aye….I suppose that will have to do hen’

Absolutely bloody marvellous.

I mean look at this, LOOK AT THIS...

 

All for free. FREE! 

And yes that is a carrot. A bloody big Rodger Rabbit carrot for breaky!? Whit even!?

Okay so maybe I m getting a bit over excited but stuff like this never happens to me, usually my luck consists of making the bus to work on time. I even got to workout and take bother embarrassing picture of me globesquatter in. Sweedish gym! Superb! 

Anyway, now that all that excitement is over we hve finally arrived in Bangkok and have checked in to our five star hotel. Pictures nd. Workout to follow but at the moment I am away for a drink, some Thai Green Curry and a kip. 

To be continued....
