Posted on April 13, 2012 by Dreamaticus

My talisman was a 12 inch long clear plastic tube just large enough in diameter to carry my mixed coin collection. It was three quarters full, so also served as a rattle for grown-ups. This provided a comfort as I … Continue reading →

Posted on April 1, 2012 by Dreamaticus

For a reason that I could not understand AA and IR had clubbed together to buy me a celebratory present that comprised a collection of green cuddly toys and some rather bizarre clothing, much of it the same colour. Rather … Continue reading →

Danes are more beautiful than Brits – so says Finnair (Rousse)

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Dreamaticus

I raced through Gatwick Airport, desperate to reach the Finnair flight to Oslo before the gate closed. DC was also at the airport, en route to Greece. Delighted to find company, he asked my advice on where to purchase a … Continue reading →

Shetland’s craziest coach driver (Rousse)

Posted on January 15, 2012 by Dreamaticus

We had both settled into our seats on the train on the way to the airport when I asked TPR what he had done with the suitcase. Although we’d both remembered our rucksacks as hand luggage, he’d forgotten to pick … Continue reading →

A doomed flight from Japan (Rousse)

Posted on October 15, 2011 by Dreamaticus

This was my second trip to the far east in a fortnight and, once again, I was astonished at the rudeness of the local population. I’d barely arrived in Japan and already airport staff had launched an enquiry into the … Continue reading →

Going without: underwear or shoes? (Rousse)

Posted on September 11, 2011 by Dreamaticus

It would be extremely rude to present a research seminar barefoot, especially in the company of DW who was always so well turned-out. So we spent hours hunting for a neat pair of black loafers (or similar) at the top … Continue reading →

First class to Washington with a ceilidh to organise at Buckingham Palace (Rousse)

Posted on July 11, 2011 by Dreamaticus

I now understood why people had been complaining about airport security. I had managed to help a friend find his seat on a service to Germany even though I wasn’t carrying a boarding pass myself. TPR had also followed us … Continue reading →

Postcards to Prince William, a rat in the office, and in-flight washing facilities (Rousse)

Posted on May 27, 2011 by Dreamaticus

When I said that I would join them just as soon as I finished addressing my postcards to the Palace most of the party shot me dirty looks. I didn’t care. They were just jealous that they – unlike me … Continue reading →
