The three worst experiences/moments on a plane:

Amsterdam to Liverpool with Easyjet when a crosswind presumably took the pilot by surprise as we were coming in to land.

Prague to Manchester with Czech Airlines at stupid o'clock in the morning. Turbulence all the way and I'd been on it the night before.

London Heathrow to Vienna with Austrian Airlines (en route to Bangkok). Turbulence all the way and I'd been on it for 3 days without sleep.

I really do like trains.

Yeah, hangovers with turbulence aren't great. My take off and landing from lukla in Nepal both times was a but mad, why i did it twice looking back i have no idea. Both times there was a lot of wind and rain.

The beauty about flying Aeroflop is everyone is pissed and doesn't give a flying fook.

My mancave roof is still intact, sofar so good.

I was supposed to be going out for a romantic walk in the hills today, followed by a pub lunch.ruddy storm.

I wish I'd still had some left when that crosswind sent us (literally) west!

But, yeah, a night getting Amsterdamaged doesn't exactly set you in good stead you for such occurrences.

It's that windy my new pork pie hat is in danger of getting blown off, about the only thing of mine that's gonna get blown off today

I have never understood why women on the street scream when I greet them in the morning.

I'm just being friendly- and I do have socks on.

My mates flew to Spain this morning (on the way to our defeat in Madrid next week) and said it was quiet, but worse is expected later in the day.

Is it windy enough to take the lid off your pie?

That's how we northerners normally assess risk.

state schools and transport systems have been ordered to close giving teachers and drivers a paid day off, although remarkably, independent schools have managed to open and their teachers and pupils get to school and supermarket delivery drivers are still driving.

up here in yorkshire, admittedly its a bit breezier than usual with some stinging driving sleet, but many are still wearing shorts and t shirts.
