Copenhagen Day 21 - part two - Jedwood panics

I have got to ask this, is it me or does everyone have weird stuff happening to them.  I was on the plane from Amsterdam to Copenhagen and as most people know there are three seats to each side of the plane, or at least on this one there were three seats to one side of the plane.  Anyway that’s not the point, I was on the aisle seat and some guy in the middle and in the widow seat was this kid who looked like Jedwood, not in the face but had the same hairstyle.   He was easy to ignore as we soared our merry way across northern Netherlands and into Denmark but as the plane was coming into land it was a bit windy and the plane was rocking a bit but nothing to cause alarm.  As the plane was getting lower the pilot had to keep adjusting the plane and one wing would go up a bit and then the other would as he kept correcting the flight path.  This Jedwood look alike started getting a bit agitated and then started saying quite loud, “look at the wings, look at the wings” and then was really panicking and I thought, is there something happening on every flight in the world or just everyone I seem to get on.  Luckily this bloke at the side of me talked to him and tried to calm him down.  I was damn glad to get off that plane I can tell you.  I was thinking if this was a story I was writing then people wouldn’t believe it, the fact is this is not fiction.  Perhaps it didn’t help me that I had been awake, albeit a quick hour on the flight between Leeds and Amsterdam, for almost 30 hours at this time.
Needless to say after work Ii didn’t go out, I had my sandwiches I had brought from home, a couple of cups of tea and the remains of the cake that had journed to Denmark in my suitcase and thought, I will write this up and then go to bed, so at only 9.25 CET or 8.25 UK time I am going to bed.
So Good night all.
