Work party tonight

Tonight there's a BA bash at some club in Windsor, and I kind of have to go so that I look 'cool' and my colleagues won't think I'm sad etc. It's one of those nights where I think it will either be really good, or really bad. Windsor isn't the easiest of places for me to get to either, so I'm staying in a hotel with a guy who I trained with. I'll have to get up relatively early tomorrow so I can get home, 'freshen up' as it were and then go back to Heathrow to start work at 3. There are 8 more routes moving over to T5 tomorrow, including all the JFKs, so there is a chance there might be chaos. In a strange way I want it to be chaotic, just so I can say 'yeah I worked on the 5th of June' and everyone will think of me as a BA hero, similar to those people who were there on T5's opening day in March. Or something like that at least.

Anyway I'm trying to organise when we're heading down to Windsor and all that, but no one from work is answering their phones at the moment and it's pretty annoying.

I might be heading out shortly for another Karahi lunch with Alex, and I could really do with one now as I'm absolutely starving. I'll ring him in a minute.

Jessica Ennis is out of the Olympics. There goes one of my bets on Sports Personality of the Year. The others better brings golds all round to maintain hope.

Euro 2008 starts soon. Come on Russia! In the predictions league that I run with my mates, I've also predicted Italy to win, so I'll be cheering them on as well.

In a strange way I'm actually happy that England aren't in it. They don't deserve to be, and it would have been too stressful. Also, I can't think of one England player apart from maybe Steven Gerrard that I even like. In the regular season, I hate them all. So I hope they enjoy watching from the sidelines and wishing they'd put a bit more effort in during qualifying.

Righty ho, that's all for now.
