One of the things that really frustrates me for days before I have to fly is those few hours we have to be at the airport for. What are you supposed to do? Once you've bought your allowance of Duty Free, there's only so many times you can look at the same items at the same shops. Gimmicks and toys abound and keep you entertained for all of thirty seconds. Invariably, beyond the odd fast-food joint with it's dodgy sandwichs and horrid coffee, an occasional visit to the smoking room theres Sweet-Foxtrot-Alpha to do. Just hang around with a load of other equally bored people. And this is a multi-billion dollar industry? It must be the only one that thrives on utter absolute boredom.
