The Big Tuckshop in the Sky
The Big Tuckshop in the Sky.
A snapshot.
Or
Why I Hate Flying.
I have turned into a disturbed autistic hunchback, bent over with my hands over my ears in a stubborn clamp and my elbows holding a book open, trying to shut out the noise of two hundred boisterous holidaymakers and an endless scream of announcements.
Three rows in front Lee and Kenny are trying not to think about the possible cons of taking a flight on Friday the 13th, the eyes of the cartoon woman clutching her life jacket and whistle bore morbid and unblinking into theirs from the unsafety information on the back of the headrest in front.
The air, laced with aviation fuel and microwaved pizzas retailing at the bargain price of £3.80, begins its own journey in and out of the mouth of every passenger and makes my skin smell wrong.
The excitable and therefore voluble ladies in the row behind finish every identical anecdote with, It was absolutely hysterical. I nearly am.
After another ear-splitting announcement telling us how we can buy perfume Kenny the soundman says, It’s just a big tuckshop in the sky really.
Whingingly yours, Carey

The only thing I like in flying is the moment when you feel how the wheels softly take off and you know you are not touching the ground any more. That's all, the rest is chaos.
But it's all about the destination right?
I'm waiting for my big flight back home, after two years Here, and keep saying to myslef "Let's get out of this country", lets fly.
really that you don't like flying?
the first time i flew, from curitiba (southern brazil) to foz do iguaçu (some 700km west) i was listening to camera obscura.
and it was really nice, i must say.
you may not like flying, but you - and the rest off the band all made my first fly pleasant, with no fears.
i would surely recommend camera obscura for all people afraid of flying.
(:
greetings from brazil,

Sleeping peels always worked for me :-)
Can't wait for Summer Sundae. Hopefully you'll all sign my T-shirt again. It might even be the same one as two years ago!
yup, a big truckstop in the sky
Cheers all for signing my T-shirt at Summer Sundae. If I were an eccentric millionaire I'd release the new album through my own record label.
