And how did you know they always swear like?

"Father Ted"  a prime time sit com in England. There was a drunken old priest who was always "Feckin" this or that

City of London Airport was a fantastic approach:



from there we went to Dover to Bolougne to Amiens and then back up to Calais. We're taking a rest at Calais right now, George Says he needs to shop ......He's loosing the plot if you ask me.

Hilarious madness.

Currently waiting at Calais for George

Next leg is to Brindisi in southern Italy (on the heel). Again I have sent word down to a few Italian builders to see if they can tart it up a bit, finding non-mob builders is proving difficult though. We're going to some sightseeing on the way down (Paris, Alps, Rome and such like), it'll take a while to get down there so they do have a bit of time, well, more time than Paddy's crew had anyway. Lets see if we can get it done without a punch up.

From Brindisi we'll be flying to Port Said. The original journey was a combination of boat trips and train journeys during the last quarter of the 19th century.

Thanks.

Finally got off the ground at Calais, had a reasonable flight down to Brindisi. Touch down after about 6 hours. Turbulence over the alps reminded me that I should have emptied the bucket

The Italian builders did a good job at Casale Mil (actually the build quality is crap but it looks the mutts nuts). They shifted the taxi ways (muttering something about Feng Shui). Erected loads of hardened hangars and ancillary buildings. Built wharfs, jettys and marinas and highjacked two cruise ships and some fishing boats. They put in 4 massive hangars on the Waterfront, The UN moved in as soon as the paint was dry........all done in 4 hours 8-)
