I picked Tom and Ralph up from the airport this afternoon. They got in about 1/2 hour late.

I dropped them off at there hotel and they both looked like they could sleep for a week, so im not sure if they will be out playing tonight.

Im assuming from Tom's first impressions he is quite impressed by the scale of the place.

Thanks very much to Jim and Nancy for picking us up from the airport, we really did appreciate it.  We were absolutely shattered.

[Laxie]

AND?!?  First impressions?  Funny side notes?  Number of times ye passed wind on plane?

PS  Glad ya got there safe and sound.

Well all in all we've got off to a bad stat. Ralph said that instead of The Long Good Friday, it was a case of the long good Wednesday, or the long bad Wednesday, or something. (He did admit that he was talking bollocks).

We didn't get much sleep before we left, Ralph had to be up at 3:30am and although I could afford to lie in until 4:30am I didn't get to bed until 3 cos I ran deep in the Daddy. By 5:30am we were bowling along in a nice big VW people carrier driven by Ralph's mate, who services we had retained for both the outward and inward journeys. 

The trip to Gatwick was uneventful, save for Raps mate's interest in roulette systems, his fear of us boking his motor by saying it went well, and Ralph himself repeating the phrase "Where's yer mate" 7 times to ward off bad luck when we spotted a lone magpie. After that, it all went a bit down hill really.

We checked our bags and headed off to security. They stopped Ralph and searched his hand luggage. When they discovered his stash of emergency cheese, they became very suspicious and swabbed the inside of his bag with a small piece of cloth which they then gave to an electric spaniel to sniff. After a bit of whirring and grinding, the electric spaniel grudgingly conceded that it was just cheese and they let us pass....

If Dave picked you up afternoon time it sounds like you flew direct, best way IMHO up down and over with plus less time wasted at connecting airports and ques.
