Sod that.
I get bored waiting for the Mrs to get ready.
My daughter is in New Zealand at the moment. She took off 10.10 Sunday morning & arrived at her friends house 7.35 Tuesday morning !
If you can occupy yourself for 21 hours on a plane I really recommend doing Australia/New Zealand. I spent 2 weeks in Sydney a couple of years ago and am thinking about suffering the stupidly-long flight time to visit some more of Oz. Personally I fecking hate flights, being tall really doesn't help when you're crammed into a flying sardine can, but Singapore Air were excellent and we got to fly on a brand new Airbus380
Never been to Mexico, but it looks pretty good from Shaun's pictures

I know what you mean Stu. Being big and sitting on planes ain't funny.
(MadHammer, when you fly were do you sit? with the cargo ?
Iv'e done 16 transatlantic flights with my knees touching my ears so this time we have gone premium. It's £400 more but worth every penny.

I am going up Snetterton this Friday and hoteling it cos I need to sign on at 8;00 for the Track Day (open pit).
Wiffy, 2 mates and a bloke called Daz DaviEs will be there for the day together with Gramby, Eureka and others from Kent Scoobies.
We are staying at the local Premier Inn and the guys from Kent are staying at a nearby lodge, so we are all meeting up, having a blast, with TA the following day.
Try to make it on Saturday too if you can & you can jump in for a couple of laps
Let me know & then I will print off another form for you to fill in to be a passenger.
You will just need to fill it in & detail your next of kin just in case you get killed so they will know who to ring, that's all.

If your fat because you eat too much cake that is no excuse, I am genetically big even if you exclude the gym work as that does not effect my height. But it's no fun sitting next to my shoulders apparently

Second that, I lived and worked in Sydney for a couple of years. Awesome place, awesome country awesome people. I flew Quantas and it was superb. I was fortunate in that they put me near the crash exit. I'm just over 6ft so was thankful for that. New Zealand is incredible especially queenstown. I was only there in their summer the winter there is supposed to be party central.
You have to do the obligatory bungee jumps though.
Fudge, see you Saturday bright and early. I'll probably meet you at the hotel.
MH. if you were a true Scooby enthusiast you'd forego your physique for better 1/4s.
No gym, and nothing but brown wild rice and water from now on, LOL!
