Author Topic: Wanted: quick means of transport. Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 10-24-2002 11:51 PM                     5:15 am in London, and I''m about to leave home. In about 20 hours time (allowing for the time difference) I will be at tonight's show at the Loew's Jersey. It seems that air travel is at just the wrong speed, if it were much faster, I could get there faster and more easily. If it were much slower, like an old ocean liner crossing, then the journey itself would be much more restful, and at least I could take a walk on deck to get some air, and sleep on board. Air travel seems to be the worst of all worlds, and it's really boring. Oh well, Gatwick airport here I come.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

Make sure to inform authorities of your travel plans so you are not taken out by missile defence systems. Dress warmly.  |  IP: Logged Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 10-25-2002 11:49 AM                        20 Hours??? It's five hour earlier here than in London and it's about a 7 1/2 hour flight, depending upon headwind. An 8:20 am flight from Heathrow gets into NY at 11am local time (4pm London time).  |  IP: Logged
