My post-lockdown commute back to work

**Looper** · 14-01-2021, 05:16 PM

Godspeed on your epic journey Mendip and may god keep your conkers safe from frostbite until you are safely out of the arctic circle

They said there was some crackling auroria borealis this week so hope you got a glimpse of the magic.

18:30 exactly at the hotel.

Have a very safe trip.

I can see that some aren't taking the competition altogether seriously.

But anyway, I'm going to have a go although I appreciate that I'll be wide open to accusations of cheating when... I mean if I win.

My pessimistic self says 18:50. It's a hard one to call... I'm not expecting big queues at Swampy, but there is a load of paperwork and checks to get through.

And then there's late Friday afternoon Bangkok traffic... and the transport is laid on by the ASQ... maybe the driver won't want to use the highway?

You wouldn't be the first to green yourself.

5:03 pm.

They don't want you hanging around surely.

**Mendip** · 14-01-2021, 07:54 PM

Thanks for the good wishes...

I'm just waiting for my taxi and reflecting over the past six months while finishing up my last bottle of cider.

This is the closest I've got to a French pair!

Mendips thread, Mendips rules. Go have a big Mac

I'm revising my ETA, I fear Mendip is in for a full search , flat tyre and a detour to a massage establishment on account of slipping a disc smuggling 12 bottles of Scotch in his hand luggage.

3am local time

Shoulda done like Mo and got a Dickens Cider

You should fly through that empty Swampy and be in your hotel, with the hand cream out in no time.

17.08 ... in your face Helge

**Saint Willy** · 15-01-2021, 04:05 AM

Anyone tracking his flight?

**Dillinger** · 15-01-2021, 04:16 AM

^ He will be on here from the Airplane wifi soon, with an update

**Joe 90** · 15-01-2021, 04:43 AM

He'll be getting smashed on the free bar

Phaaaatk that’s a long way. I always forget...

**David48atTD** · 15-01-2021, 09:30 AM

^ Last time I flew SYD -> BKK was 9/10 hours, but yep ... long way, it is.

Mendip ... out of the darkness ... into the light!

**Edmond** · 15-01-2021, 09:39 AM

Anyone else think it's a bit creepy to watch one or two grown men actively track another grown man's flight, when they're presumably not hitmen or drug runners.

**baldrick** · 15-01-2021, 09:42 AM

the gardener lacks internet , so he needs updating via text messages

Or a driver

I turned a local lady with an airport pick-up service onto these flight tracking apps years ago and she still thanks me when we see each other. Fuck leaving Pattaya to pick someone up at the scheduled arrival time only to get to Swampy and see DELAYED on the arrivals display, when she can see at the glance of an App that their flight will be several hours late and adjust her timing accordingly.
