| 5th July 2010: Here In THe New York. Cabbies Will Con You. I just got through security. At least it's not a hassle. Scan bags, scan shoes, scan atomizer and liquid for e-cigarette, scan laptop, and we're done. Quick and easy. Not quite as easy as it is back at home, and definetly not as easy as it is in Gran Canaria, but hey, the Americans have very good reasons for being this through. But that isn't my main issue. My main issue is the b@stard new york cabbie who ripped me off. F*cker. $200 for a 25 minute ride. Even though I was tired, bit jet lagged, it was no excuse for not using my wits to realise he was a con man. But he did get me to the hotel. Just wish I'd known there was a free bus to the hotel from the airport. But at the end of the day, he's still a f*cking git, and I hope he dies of herpes. Oh, and Mr Taxi Man, don't think this is it. There will be follow up posts. Heh heh heh. And being in the US on the 4th July was amazing. Even as I left my hotel at 2:30am, there were still fireworks displays happening, and you could hear music on the wind. Our versions? St Georges Day, well, that's just a washout. And I don't think we even celebrate Commonwealth day. Despite being the head of it. But seriously, we have 5th November, Guy Fawkes Night - where we celebrate someone trying to blow up the Houses Of Parlement with gunpowder by...ummmm...firing off gunpowder charges into the air. Right... But something funny just happened. I was about to sign this post off, and then I heard a voice booming "Smoking is not allowed in the terminal". Methinks that someone just got busted! I am getting quite tired now. I think I will get as much sleep as I can on the plane. Right now my priorities are food, then sleep. In that order. The guy at the hotel asked if I was hungry, and like an idiot, I said no. Although I had just finished a delicious pizza from the aeroplane. Now I am hungry. Anyway, enough prattling on. I'll post this when I get a chance! At the moment wifi is few and far between! Permalink |
