The World's Favourite Airline

British Airway's - The World's Favourite Airline. Unless that is you are the bellend that decided to check in their bags but decline to take their seat on the plane like the other 350 odd of us that patiently waited in our pews . The BA Captain in his best BBC Radio 4 accent apologised profusely for the delay while the baggage handlers attempted to retrieve the now unaccompanied baggage from the aircraft hold. "We should be under way in about 5/10 minutes" he assured on on more than once occasion but I suspect he was taking his times from his co-pilot, First Officer Alex Ferguson, because it almost 2 hours later before we finally got under way. "Not our finest hour", said the Captain. He clearly hadn't yet tasted the potato salad starter that was to accompany the main meal though.
Finally airborne I decided to sample some of the onboard entertainment entitled "High Life" and to be quite honest you would want to be high to consider some of this as entertainment. "Bob Wilson's Life and Death of Marina Abramovic" was one that immediately jumped off the screen at me. Little did I know the former Arsenal netminder with the trademark green jersey and dodgy receding curls was also an Avant-garde stage director. I didn't watch for long. (by long I mean I didn't watch at all).
I passed an hour watching 500 great goals which featured luminaries such as Maradona, Messi, Bergkamp and Paul Greene. Believe it or not the goal Paul Greene scored was better than the one they chose of Messi but there is something very very wrong in this world if Paul Greene can share any football screen time whatsoever with Lionel Messi. I felt betrayed. I did indeed need to be high.
