Forecast: Up to 10cm of snow in Embra over Easter.
Actuality:
And I needed a fast shutter speed to catch even that much.
Forecast: The baggage handling system at Heathrow Terminal 5 will handle both intra-terminal and inter-terminal luggage and will actually process 70,000 bags a day.
Actuality: 33 flights cancelled (so far) on day one and three flights took off with no baggage at all after the entire baggage system crashed.

Haha...great one about Heathrow!!
ReplyDeleteI think Denmark got the 10 cm of snow Scotland was supposed to get. Peter's mom sent pictures and they had quite a bit.
Maybe you could put his head in a toilet? One that hasn't been flushed in awhile?
ReplyDeleteJacki - I have a friend who thinks he's flying into Heathrow T5 on Sunday. Bwahahaha!
ReplyDeleteMarie - Ew! That would totally ruin his rugged handsomeness.
It sounds as though Heathrow used the baggage handling system at Denver International Airport as a template. I'm pretty sure some of the luggage that disappeared into that in 1995 has never been found.
ReplyDeleteALW killed my baby name. I loved the names Nancy Grace. But then he had to run a competition 'finding the next nancy' or something n national tv (oliver) ugh, now there is no way I get to use my favourite name, sigh. He ruins everything.
ReplyDeleteLaurie - The irony is that BAA/BA chose to learn every lesson that could be learned from Denver. They made a big deal of the amount of load testing they'd done, in the hour-long documentary aired on UK channel five, just two days before Heathrow T5 died on its arse.
ReplyDeleteHoney - I thought "finding the next Nancy" was the search for Graham Norton's replacement ;-)
