For my new project, I need to do some research on airports. However, I'm to lazy to go to the airport so i'm wondering whether you very attractive people can help me out. If you have any comical stories about airports, things you dislike about airports, thinks you like and activities which you participate in whilst waiting for your flight...please reply to this post.

much appreciated

Hotel airports?

[Stevo_trash]

[superwoman]

delays

I have been in 2 airports in my entire life. Brum and this ickle one in Spain which I cant remember the name of. My point is that everyone always made such a fuss about flying they got me worked up that is was gonna be so scary, and actually it was really boring. We were flying at night so you couldn't really see anything either. Thats not actually about an airport but hey.

Why do you want to know this stuff Stevo?

[Jacqui]

i have never been on a plane or even in a airport

im a poor, deprived child!

The shops at Air Ports are always handy as there Tax free but don't always mean you pick up anything that special.
I hate the large seating areas that you have to sit around in and wait but it's always fun when you get on one of those moving walk ways as you can be slack and ust glide along not having to actually walk.

[Lew]

those moving floors are everywhere in america, lazy fat b'stards

i have been in quite a few airports actually, gatwick, orlando international, orlando sanford, stansted and newquay. does duxford count? anyway, baggage claim has to be the most tedius chore ever. why should we have to be forced to pick up our luggage on a huge version of an electric tie rack?

[Sidders]

I've not been to an airport in years, so I wouldn't be much help. I've only been abroard twice and I think all the flights I've ever caught were delayed.

didn't the wobbling wings psych you out?

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

ok... i went to gatwick an got my shoelace caught in the escalator causing hilarity all around. vilnius airport in lithuania is weird because when you arrive its a tiny shed with a few rooms an one baggage carousel but when you go back its a big huge modern building with lots of cafes an stuff.

Minsk airport is ok an has its own motorway out to it and has only recently been built. its quite smart an the lufthansa staff there are fit (an speak english despite working in belarus and coming from Germany... how ignorant i felt).

[Lawrie]

well i predict my flight from Stanstead to Arhus in Denmark on April the 3rd will be chaos...as im intending to do some skitts for the `Assholes` project im a member of

There is one thing that is common to airports world wide, intelligent people start to act like cattle. Anyone who has seen the Lee Evans routine about this will know what i mean. People seem to love to wait in line because some voice told them to get up and go. You see this strange occurence when they call the flight to board. Everyone legs it to the gate to then stand in line for 30 minutes

cheers for the help guys, if you have any further comments please let me know.

If your wondering why i'm interested in this topic, I have deceided to get off my lazy ass to write a sitcom and the first episode takes place at an airport.

Please do not sue me if this idea ever made it onto television...unless one of the characters is called gaspode the wonder dog and traps his shoelace in an escalator.

[ninemaster]

well i think pointing out the cattle theory will be a winner - unless Mr Evans decides to sue

[Sam]

Good for you Stevo, good luck with it and I hope it all goes well. Can I have a signed DVD of the first series when you hit the bigtime please?

[Lew]

hmmmm, stevo the next ben elton or simon nye???

[MK Chris]

Judging by most sitcoms today (with the exception of My Family and possibly a couple of others) there would be not a lot of competition.

Hope it goes well though...

[Stevo_trash]

it will probably go straight to beta max. Hopefully your father, like most dad's has a stash of beta max recorders at the bottom of his wardrobe next to the vintage porn mags.

[Bridgie]

you gotta include some sort of controlled explosion of a characters unattended luggage

that always makes me laugh when i think people leave their stuff somewhere accidentally and it gets blown up, what shit luck!

Carry On...

[Sidders]

Come to think of it, a sitcom all about this place would surely be a winner...

...or perhaps not.

[Jonny Hoare]

Eddie would be the token stressed housewife
Bob would be the dysfunctional teenageer
