So he just keeps ordering her to find a way to get him to London. Another one exclaims furiously 'you Yurrupeans don't even dare to fly through a cloud!'
How sad. Besides the fact that the world's techies have provided the wonder of telephony to resolve exactly this problem, what makes someone think he's so fooking important that when a big cloud of volcanic ash flies across Europe everyone should move heaven and earth to get him to London? What kind of a **** are you if you just can't accept that you might have to wait until monday?
Honestly, I'm glad I'm just a contract test person. Better than being a self important shyte.
