Some Guys Have All the Luck

The car overheated I called up and pleaded
There's help on the way
I called you collect
you didn't accept
You had nothing to say


 Well the end of another adventure and things took a bit of a dip. We left Orlando on time and Disney put on a bit of a light show as we encountered lightning 30 minutes into flight, never a good sign when pilot asks crew to belt up. We then suffer the usual North America bouncy bouncy hour and by the time I get to a freezing Manchester I am all over the place. We arrive early so no bay and we park the little lady a bus drive from terminal. After waiting 20 mins for bus we get to bottom of stairs in sub zero and the bus rolls off full. We wait 10 mins in freezing cold until bus arrives. Then the biggest queue of the week and not a fast pass in sight. Immigration is a free for all and takes us 45 minutes to get through. Not best start to day but nothing on whats to come. Get to car and dead as a dodo, we wait 1 hour for AA who charges up and we then see someone left on vanity light. AA guy disappears having charged me up, I reverse and lose the clutch and stall car dead again. We await AA guy for another 30 mins and he follows us out to make sure I don't rs it up again. We finally hit motorway and halfway home need a service station kip and an Eric Rose bucket of coffee to see me home. I then find out my R&C colleagues are just waiting for Real Madrid to pocket £6k between them, I forgot to put in my bet so sting in the tail for me, but delighted for my colleagues. Maybe just as well as I would probably have cost them the line. Anyway the hard day does not tarnish a wonderful holiday with the Moll, T2, T3, John, Justine and Aisling and not forgetting Mickey.
