Jeeeeeez

I had an afternoon fever
And I flew right to Geneva

Tell me where I'm going - Ive got no way of knowing

I wish I was a Forest Ranger
- Danger Danger- Danger !

I just took me a notion
To fly right across the Ocean

They call me the Midnight Moses
Everything I touch - is coming up Roses

The bloke at QueasyJet said they don't do standbys.

Travelling tomorrow, but will have to travel to manchester to get my car from Liverpool. It's probably frozen to the bricks its stood on right now!

unbelievable that they won't sell a ticket when there is a free seat on the plane - their loss!

I remember pictures like that in the papers.

Ice storm in January 2005 - I remember my car getting too badly frozen to bother with, though not as bad as that.

WHS!

The wind coming off Lake Leman can be viciously cold at this time of year.

Sod Liverpool. Get the train to Milan and enjoy a weekend of good food and wine. It's not far away. Alternatively, train or bus to Lugano or Locarno could be quite enjoyable.

Have you been to geneva? I suspect not. It's image is way above the reality of the place. Got to fly back tomorrow now, into Manchester and then get the car from Liverpool.

Worst thing is I know that there will be a seat free on the 15:05 flight to liverpool as I know somebody who bought a ticket to use that flight but isn't going to be on it as he landed a job in the UK late last year - and I can't get hold of him! flip!

turn up at the airport and ask to travel if they have no shows

Looks alright on Google http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=...N&hl=en&tab=wi can you sit somewhere nice overlooking the water for an ale or 2? Or take a boat somewhere (if the lake's not too frozen).
