Euros Thread
 

Hands up if your flight has been cancelled after sitting at the departure gate for 6.5 hours and you are stuck in a hotel and the euros is looking less and less likely.

Just me then ?

your joking!!! when u got to be there for Jim?

Wish I was joking, at least its a nice hotel. Just worried about whether I'll even be going to the Euros at all now.

What was the reason for flight Delay Jim, security or just shear backlog?

Are you at Manchester airport Jimmy? - I heard things were getting back to more like 'normal'

Jimmy, what a total twat! I'll drive you if I can have your place! ( only joking, wish I icould race).

unsure what jimmy is doing atm, but he said to me the airport told them there was a fault with the plane and they was getting an engineer from birmingham to come down :o

With a bit of ali sheet and a pop rivet gun? :o They're all patched up! :D

Yeah something wrong with the plane aparently, really poor communication from the airline I have to say. Vicky is looking for other flights - gonna try get on an early flight tomorrow or see if KLM will put us on a BA direct flight (yeah, right, we can dream).

Hope glyn is looking after my gear! He'll be using the cameras if i cant go! haha:p

Yea rob, its manchester airport, were stuck here with sky high BOOZE prices too, if you feel like making an offie run for us, give me a shout! haha!!

just seems strange to me.. other racers have been cancelled at other airports, and been told they cannot be certain their planes will fly. and manchester say they are fixing a plane, using an engineer from birmingham.. whats wrong with the ones they have got?!

all this while tony blair is on holiday :rolleyes:

hope its all sorted for you in the morning jimmy.

seems mcgee's plane is now cancelled too.. coincedence? :confused:

Sorry Jimmy I'd love to perform an emergency booze drop for you but I'm on my 2nd bottle of Merlot already. Reckon my racing at Bury Metro could be a wee bit random tomorrow!

Seriously, I hope things get sorted for you and all the other euro bound racers.

just been reeding the beebs website http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4787733.stm and they are on about cancelling up to a third of Sundays flights to allow security checks to be carried out.

nightmare! might be back in work monday then if stuff aint good tomorrow, i dont fancy turning up half way thru the euros.

you can always do the 4wd event I guess?? But think positive

Have Jim and Danny managed to get a flight yet??

Think Danny, Cree and Reevesey (who were flying together and sharing room) are on their way via Euro tunnel and a good ol road trip!

cool, thanks Matt

I'm assuming Jimmy n' Vicky have gone to the Euros as they said last night they would contact me if anything went wrong. I've heard nothing yet so its looking good for them.

Hope so too. Has the spoon made it? :confused:
