London people...

[Sunny]

....who wants to come to the heathrow airport and hang out with a stranded sunny?

feel free to bring foodz and blankets, cause i'll be here for the next 12 hours, and i'm starving&cold.

anyway, hi2u, how's your day going?

Damn, why you stuck there for 12 hours? That place can be pretty damn boring, can you not venture out of the airport into town for a few hours?

[Mota Boy]

Oh man, you should definitely get out into the city for dinner, London has some amazing food.

None of it native to the country, of course.

[Sunny]

well, i had to go from gatwick airport to heathrow.. by bus. no one bothered to tell me it'd take an hour and a half with no traffic... and there was a ton of traffic, so it took way longer.

so i missed my last flight to nyc (next one isn't til 8 am), everything's closed, and i'm pretty miserable.

i also have a ton of luggage with me, so no trips to town. eeeeegh. :/

[fischer]

you have nice timespending. Airport or metro is the best place to spend the night;) . Good luck

[Tizzalicious]

why that sucks? ...

edit : that sucks.

[F@ BANKZ]

Can you not get to a near B&B or something rather than just staying at the airport all night?

[Lars]

National Express coach? They're never on time and super slow.

I'm around a 15 minute car drive away, but don't know my way around Heathrow at all.

[Mota Boy]

They don't sell power converters at the airport?

[F@ BANKZ]

well, at least you'll look back at this experience and laugh... Yeah, i really hate it when people say that in a crisis too.

(i screwed my quote up:()

I guess you'll need a power source anyway. Being uneducated in this area i dunno if they'd ave one in an airport.

i only had $100 on me cause i thought it'd be enough. the goddamn bus was $46 (american)... then i bought a soda... so i have like $35. no b&b for me! :(


and lars, yeah, that was it. :(

[wheelchairman]

Oh hey. Tizzje and I landed in Heathrow airport about 2 hours ago.

































....This isn't true. But you were happy for a moment. Remember that. :)

[Tizzalicious]

I just wanted to state that I don't support Per's previous post.

Geez. How lame can he get?

[the_GoDdEsS]

Oh God, major suck. h8 at traffic and such. And good luck.

[F@ BANKZ]

Damn, if $35 is like £17.50... if there is nothing else you're going to have to buy at least you got enough money for some rip-off price airport food & drink....And maybe a power converter.

[Sunny]

they charge a TON for power adapters. i am quite pissed.

per - f u =p

i just exchanged $20 and they gave me 7.5 pounds. i shit you not. COMMISSION!

[F@ BANKZ]

Yeah, that is abit of a rip... Then again your in an airport. Watch out for snakes.

[SkunkIt]

That sucks, sorry.

Yeah, that is abit of a rip... Then again your in an airport. Watch out for snakes.

Especially on the plane.

[Sunny]

i totally wouldn't mind hanging out with some snakes at this point.

battery dying UH-OH!

[Lars]

I could attempt to find a way to get parking there and visit for a few hours, or drive somewhere??. It could be awkward or go alright as I don't really know you.

I did that in Washington, I ran out of dollars, but needed a drink, so I echanged 5 euro, and got like 3 bucks, that's just not right. But hey, at least I got a drink.

[the_offsprings_monkey]

Just buy one of them power converters! I know it'll be expensive, but it's better than being bored for another 9 hours.

[SkunkIt]

That's a bad idea, she should save the money for something she actually needs, like food.

Singing or humming helps pass the time for a while, if you like to do that.

thats the london transport for you! they closed a huge section of a dual carriageway today just because bad winds blew over a tree and it fell onto the pavement (not even the road, although it is a safety issue i guess!). it was shut for ages though! it just takes the slightest thing to cause chaos and with the bad weather thats probably what delayed your bus!

[Rag Doll]

i was stuck at heathrow for 8 hours in july, also lonely and stuff. AND really sick with no painkillers. i feel your pain =(

[T-6005]

I don't mind airports. Anything to avoid the planes. I hate the fucking things.

[Sunny]

just a brief update:

you guys have no idea how awesome it felt to sleep in my own bed and eat actual food. oooomg. thanks for all the moral support and stuff :]

off to sleep some more!

christ. i can't even imagine that. i was ok healthwise and i still felt like death (horribly uncomfortable seats, no food, cold as fuck, etc).. so being stuck there while sick must've been hell.
