OK, I'm now on board the biggest plane ever! It's a double decker!! We've got a buddy next to us, I'm gonna call him Roger until I know otherwise. So, in 13 or so hrs, that's 13!! We'll be in London. I have a little screen again, yay, lovin that! Roger is holding onto his bag and stuff like it's filled with gold, chill Rog!! Long way to go yet buddy! Todd is on the wing, he better come in soon. Hang on, No he's not, he got the window and no wing! What?! It must just be me. OK, it's taking 19 years for everyone to get on this plane so I guess we're going late, Stubby!! We're still taxiing and I think we're finally about to take off. Todd's asleep, I just dozed for a sec man this is gonna be a long 13 hrs, oh we've stopped now, hooray, we must be there. Oh, no we're not, engines reving, slow rolling can only mean one thing. Let's Ride!! Tap the tatt, hand up and we're flyin!!
Man, this is awesome, Malaysia is so green from up here, looks so peaceful! I'm knackered, I'm gonna try and sleep and hope I don't miss the menu or the movie I wanna watch. Far too funny for my liking, Roger's real name is Ming Lee! I shit you not!! Roger will now be called Ming the Merciless! Got my headphones and menu and just waiting for a movie to start. Thanx Capt! Here comes the movie, I'll tell you about it later. So, brunch came around, quite nice, omlette and stuff, I watched "My big fat Greek wedding" it was a pisser. Reminded me just a little of some of my family, I'm pretty sure I missed the last 10 minutes cause I woke up to the credits. That shits me. Just had a little nap, still 10:26 to go til we get to London. Man, I think I'm gonna try and sleep again. This is highly amusing, I reckon I was the only one awake on the plane until about 3 minutes ago. A kid has just started crying, crying loudly, now half the plane is awake. Very funny.
I'm reading a book and got the headphones on and I can still hear the kid, back to sleep all. Ha ha! Man, Dr Mario aint with me today cause this flight is taking forever! Still got 6 and a half hours to go, we're Livin' on a Prayer baby! Geez Louise! I just watched "Life or Something like it" nice movie but Roger the Merciless over here can't make up his f**kin mind as to what to watch so he flicks and flicks and flicks and I keep looking over seeing bits of movies I haven't watched yet! See, I just did it again, why?! I don't know. They brought us Crunch Ice Creams, was rather scrumptious, now Todd's got John Q on, I'm surrounded by it and it's almost finished. I think I've slept all of 30 minutes so far, man I'm gonna be stuffed later. Shit happens. I've just been playing the Trivia challenge! It's linked to everyone and it's good cause it's got your seat number. Bloody Andy in 57A keeps winning, I'm in 58J, I can see Andy. I just threw a cup at him, I hit him! That'll learn ya for beating me!! 3 times!! Only 2 hrs to go�
I just finished watching John Q, what a good movie! It was made better by the arrival of food! Vegetarian lasagne was good!! So I spose we're on the home stretch! Geez I'll be happy to get there!! I just woke up from a wee nap and we've only got 20 odd mins before we land! My legs so need to get off this plane!! So I'll be back once we're in London!! We've landed! Yay!! 18 degrees here and the plane just pulled up to the gate! So I guess I'm actually here. Holy shit!!
Welcome to London!! It took us 45 minutes to get through customs! Geez!! Was easy though! Walked out and there's Graham our "driver" this guy was a legend!! We got to go in a Tarago like a Rock Star, classic. He told us stories about people he'd driven around, what a dude. He gave us his card and offered to drive us around while we're here for free. Drove us in past the venue, man it looks small!! It will rule!! Got to the hotel and checked in, now the tickets for the gig aren't here yet, so made a couple of calls and we'll see how we go. Now milling in the room watching the Simpsons, Yay! And when is this free weekend?! Gotta shower and get this plane smell off me and then find something to eat. So, I'm actually here! It's a spin out and the room smells like feet! Outta my way jerkass!!
So we went for a walk, found the UK version of "Everyday", pretty easy considering we're in the UK! Got McD's of course, a couple of their Cheeseburger sandwiches. I swear there are some beautiful women in London, it rox! Then for a walk to The Shepherd's Bush Empire to see where we'll be heading 2morro!! It looks so small, it's gonna be the best man! Came back to the hotel and pretty much crashed out! So f**kin tired, woke up and there was a parcel in the room! From Universal!!!! Details of the gig and a Bon Jovi hat, yay for free stuff, this is just so f**kin cool!! 2morro is gonna be the best day!! It's so time to go to bed, I'm so tired! So, here I am in London, just bizarre! It's all London baby!!
In what seems to now be a tradition on my trips, I bashed the living shit out of my elbow on the desk next to me! We are having a hard time with the hair dryer in the bathroom, the light switch is on the outside, so forgetting, you reach in, knock off the hairdryer and it takes ages to get back in. Quite funny it's happened 9 times so far. Stupid hair dryer. OK, that's all for today, big day 2morro, Jovies, what a day it's gonna be!!

Good Morning, nice of you guys to drop by!! It's 7:18 at morning and we're up. Actually had a good 7 hrs sleep last night twas awesome. Got woken by a message on my phone, dunno who it was though. Thanx, it was nice though!! There showers here suck, being 6'4" I'm 2" away from the roof and water keeps dripping on me (besides the shower water, der) Aside from the noozel, noodles, being shoulder height it's ok. So now I'm watching Captain Planet in another language, I don't get it! Captina Planeta! We're gonna go do brekky soon and then head out to Shepherd's Bush to see the psycho fans queueing! OK, back soon.
