Air Traffic Control

British Airwaves fucking shit up!

I should be on a plane to Hong Kong right now, instead I’ll be flying out to Frankfurt tomorrow morning. There was some huge fuck up with air traffic control at Heathrow airport and our connecting flight got cancelled. Today has been so stressful, I’m ready to just put it all behind me now. Hopefully we’ll get some sick compensation payout on our insurance for the cancelled flight.

Fell at the fist hurdle, this is not a good thing.

This affected us....

Flights to and from some UK airports have been cancelled or delayed because of a computer problem at the main air traffic control centre at Swanwick.
Airports across the UK have been affected by delays of flights using airspace in the south-east of England.
The problem has now been fixed and although services are said to be returning to normal, some delays are still occurring.

Make the great escape, and find a way to make ends meet

I’m flying out to Hong Kong on Thursday. Stoked!

I really need this holiday, I’ve been waiting too long for it. There have been lots of things going on in Manchester this summer that have been dragging me down. I need to find some sort of solitude. Isolation. No doubt I’ll return home a new man, a lot happier, the same old posi Alex that people seem to be missing. Lots of relaxing, exploring, bonding, reading, writing, BBQs, surfing, swimming, rollercoasters, shows, eating, drinking and just general lounging in the glorious sunshine.


I’ll be updating this blog as much as possible over the next month with pictures, stories etc.


If anybody needs me, just get in touch through email/myspace/facebook etc. Also, I’ll have my phone with me. I imagine that I’ll be getting online frequently and it’d be nice to hear from everyone.
