A brief return story

Didn't manage to get an upgrade, but was happy that I had been pre-booked into seat 21H, a bulkhead on the aisle corner so I can really stretch out. More good news was that Gavinalways and his Grandad had managed to get the two seats across the aisle from me, so if I did want to chat to anyone (I rarely do on plane journeys), they were there. Hamsterboy and Sandy were also sat behind them so it was a cosy little cabin.

That was until my worst nightmare looked up at me. The two seats to my right were taken up by what ended up being a lovely couple... plus there screaming little brat of a child who had already begun going bananas over not being allowed to eat the emergency instructions or something and bearing in mind this was an overnight flight for us, I could not believe the Gods had done this to me after the emotional drain I had just had put on me. The only child in the whole of Vegas I am sure and it had to be on the Father's lap right next to me. I turned to Gavin etc. and they did not need me to say anything. I did mention I felt a forum post coming on and it was clear what I meant.

As I began unloading little bits from my rucksack and eventually sat down, I heard the husband mention to the wife that there were two identical seats over the other side and only one taken. I was last on the plane (it's my job to be last) so I mentioned I could move over there. They said they would be SO grateful to give them more room. Yes, of course. I would do it for them if I could [;)]. The husband also mentioned that the girl sat over there was a stunner, which of course had no bearing on my decision to ask for a move at all. I wanted away from the screaming brat... nothing more.

After persuading the hostess, I got over there and parked up all over again. And this girl was quite possibly the most gorgeous person I had seen in my life. No kidding. Ok, I did my best not to look and as I went to sit down (bad back remember so took a while), I turned to see all of them looking at me. The husband said 'see, he has a smile now' and I replied 'I am a cripple ffs'. Gavin said a similar thing and I re-iterated 'Come on boys, I am a cripple'.

As the plane settled down, the young lady went to the toilet and when she returned I took the same route. Not for any perverted reason, but when I came out of the toilet, Gavin was there... almost definitely for some perverted reason. Gavin then said to me 'you know when you said you are a cripple' and my face just went bright red as I had spotted something afterwards and had not put any emphasis on it... the little lady that I shouted over, sat next to Gavin, had both legs up against the bulkhead and rather large funny looking shoes on. At least one of her legs was plastic. [:I]

Why me??????????????????????????? [:I][:I][:I]
