Re: at the airport …

I always get strange looks… I dont really take notice of it though and just soak in the atmosphere. In the VIP/business class lounge which is where I used to be allocated on chartered flights I made my poffish companians nervous and personally I couldn’t stand those eliteists and they always felt that I would spit in thier soup or something… or perhaps the presence of a upstart like me was not worthy of their company.

However in economy class I loved it… I would always have to squash up next to older folks or country bumpkin types and in Britian every flight with PIA outbound I found myself next to a Mirpuri or Punjabi or Pathan fellow and the company was always much more interesting.

In business class it’s all grumpy nervous folk nattering on about business meetings and how much such and such is worth investing in… blah dee blah.

At least in the common lounge one can indulge in some chit chat and idle small talk but at the same time actually get to know the passengers around you too… I hate travelling with people I cant mingle with…

Which TV show/movie were you watching when you wrote this?
