    I just hope you are using seat belt, for your own sake.

      Having taken two hours to get to a gate we've just taxied away from it as it wasnt actually ready and the captain is having to look elsewhere.

      The captain has just informed us that Heathrow is now closed and no more planes are landing here which in theory should make it easier to get a gate.

      It's not snowing but yet they've closed Heathrow Terminal 5. Jesus.

        Captain has informed the passengers the reason we cannot disembark is because the ground crews have used a lot of de icer on a number of gates and because it hasn't snowed the deicer hasn't dissipated thus making the gates dangerous to disembark from.

        You couldn't make it up.

              Serves you right for sitting in Economy.

              You could have been milking the champers in first right now.

                  Speaking of which, are you allowed to use the bogs while the plane is stood standing?

                    It sounds awful. Imagine having a passenger/customer like MF to deal with. Maybe he'll get het up and the crew will taser him.

                      They would not want to carry him...

                      A simple gag would do.
