Copenhagen Day 20 - part two - Home again

I think I have decided that I live for firsts, I love to think that I have done something for the first time.  I once saw something on TV and it said what have you done today for the first time and then some blurb about what they were advertising.  I think it was the state of your heart, shame it wasn’t something about memory as I could probably have done with it.  Anyway back to my first, so I like to look for things I have done first or seen for the first time.  Well at the moment today’s first has been doing an emergency stop on the plane, we had just come into land at Frankfurt and the plane coming off the runway and toward the terminal building when some little truck thing was about to cross our path, the brakes on them planes don’t half work, wow, I was still half asleep and nearly put my head through the seat in front, I would have done if the seatbelt hadn’t crushed every internal organ I once had into a sort of mince soup.  When the say keep your seatbelts fastened until the plane has come to a stop then do.

Now I am going to have a moan, at airports you generally have free wifi and Frankfurt is the same, the problem is the company who run it, a telecoms company are trying to rip people off on the side.  You get free wifi if start up your browser and then put your details and phone number into a form, they then send you a pin by text and you enter the pin and get 30 mins wifi. You can get more 30 mins but need to get another pin, where I think they are ripping people off is that most who are at the airport will be foreign travellers and when they receive a text through the telecoms network will get charged for receiving the text as everyone does when abroad.  So to get you to request a pin every 30 mins means they get probably about 50p every 30 minutes.  Cheeky really, so I will not be updating this blog post until I get home, just on principle.  Moan over I will now calm down and stare at the fools who have purchased a crap cup of coffee for nearly three quid.

Another celeb look alike spotted today, not sure his name, the celeb that is, I have no idea who the guy was, but its the chap on the airplane adverts who sits in business or first class looking smug saying how he values his time and comfort and says some clever remark whilst looking at other people.  Well there was a dead ringer for him in economy on my plane, looked ironic really.

That is all for this weekend, so a day’s rest and then back to it, well I say a day’s rest but I do have two meetings to do over Saturday and Sunday.
