Aren't airports the worst places to be at any time of the day or night. Hate them! They are boring, they are tight and they are rude. Let me explain.
You get there late and walk into a long queue, panic, the bird asks you some daft questions about packing the bags yourself and are you carrying anything? I wonder has anyone ever said, "no, actually Osama Bin Laden packed it for me?" and "yeah i'm carrying a bag of powder for Amy Winehouse!"
If you get there on time, you pass through the desk with ease, get a bit wound up when the security guard asks you to take off your flip flops to check for guns and knives? and then sit on your arse for about two and a half hours in the lounge.
Now the lounge winds me up even more. You get in, find the nearest departures screen and i've noticed recently they have changed it to say FLIGHT BD 1234 12.30 RELAX AND SHOP! relax and shop? sod off, you can't tell me what to do, i'm going to get a cup of tea and a paper and sit on my back side until they call me!! The problem is guys, if you're with your wife or girlfriend (or sister), how do you get through to them that because it says RELAX AND SHOP you don't actually have to relax and shop?!
They then call you to your gate, check you through the desk and make you stand in a stair well while they restock the plane with scratch cards, and overpriced, poor quality refreshments?
Why do we put ourselves through it?
(ps i'm watching football AM, isn't it great to have the footy back. I'm going to see The Ports this afternoon).

Was the ports match cancelled I wish ours had of been!! On my way home the street at the end of the bridge had 4 - 6 inches of water in it.
Awk Wiggy you grumpy auld git.
I agree about airports but it's great when you whip out the laptop and get into a game of football manager.

I couldn't agree more. I absolutely HATE to fly! That said, there are a few airports which do not fit your description. Believe it or not, Pittsburgh has an amazing airport. And if you fly into Memphis, you get to eat at Curly's, possibly the most amazing BBQ joint on the planet. You can smell it through the entire airport and it's worth flying through Memphis just to eat there!
But I still hate to fly.
Hmmm.. i had not the same experience my last airport adventure - in British Columbia/Ontario a few weeks ago. However, i did read the wrong screen (aparently) and ended up on the WAAAY other side of the airport and nearly missed my flight.
That would have been very bad!
