After dropping out of university, PM had pursued a career in insurance – or so we believed. I’d certainly not expected him to become the inventor of intelligent bubble wrap. He rolled some out across a workshop table to show off its special properties. With a slightly blueish hue, it moved about on its own accord. PM explained that it had many applications over and above parcelling fragile objects: some people even liked to wear intelligent bubble wrap boiler suits over their ordinary clothes.

While PM continued to enthuse about intelligent bubble wrap I checked my watch. It was 14:45 and my flight left at 15:45. We’d spent far too long admiring PM’s marvellous invention. I needed to get to the airport fast – now! PM told me not to worry, I’d easily make my flight.

Unfortunately I lost my purple carry-on suitcase and all my belongings at Heathrow Airport. Without any identification I could not board a plane. I was stuck here forever until my luggage was found. My only hope of escape from the airport came when RL brought me my iPhone. My next priority would be to buy an iPad mini from duty free – once someone gave me some money.
