Ok, my first real post.

I left london on 11th August 2004 from Heathrow. Flew a long long way via Dubai to Bangkok. I flew with Emirates. Just a quick note about them: They were close to the cheapest airline i could find, and yet they are without a doubt the most luxurious and hospitable airlines i have ever flown in! Yes, better then BA! I was in economy on a 747, and i had a personal TV/Radio, tonnes of leg room, and even a games machine. I wanted to sleep, but kept playing all the addictive games. I ended up spening hours playing this trivia game. You play against all the other passengers realtime. There is a leader board, and you get 20 quick fire Trivial Pursuit type questions.
It was great, you can see the other competitors seat numbers, and stuff. You can stand up and see who are the stupid ones and who are the brain boxes... well i was determined to win on of the rounds... and it took me many tries, but just as we were landing into Bangkok, i answered 15 correct answers out of 20 in record time to come from behind and beat 20 other passengers... what a glorious moment! I would have done a lap of honour around the plane, but the hostesses had the food trolleys in the aisles :(
Nevermind, a big moment for me. The trip had got off to a winning start. Although i still had no friends, i was still a winner!
