Everyone started to get worried again Mhm. And then a man in uniform came out of the little door leading to the flight deck with a screwdriver. He walked half way down the aisle, stopped and lifted up the carpet. Then he raised a metal flap and reached inside with the screwdriver. There was a loud click and then they heard the landing ear going down. The man in uniform went back to the flight deck. The plane made its final approach and landed safely. As they all came down the steps he said you could literally see everyone still shaking with fear.
Organizing a conference March 30 You39。t having to fly in a faulty plane. Two hours later there was another announcement: We have found a new plane, But the new plane is more sick than the first one, so we will take the first one. And they were all escorted to the first plane and it took off but they all felt very nervous and everyone started knocking back the gin and the whisky. Anyway eventually they arrived at their destination and by this time everyone had managed to forget that the plane was 39。We are sorry but the plane is sick, we will find a new one39。, So I started looking at it to find a nice restaurant to go to that evening I always prefer to eat out rather than in my hotel. And I soon realized that the same restaurant was being described again, looked all the way through the leaflet and every page was a description of the same restaurant! There were no others in there! 100 pages all about the same restaurant.
Woman: What was the name of the restaurant?
Man: I can39。t Know the city I picked up a whole lot of leaflets and a street map at the airport before catching the bus into town, Well, one of the leaflets was quite fat, about 100 pages long and it was called 39。s amazing! ※※※ it39。t arrived, he went down to have his dinner, and then went to bed. Well, the next day, they narrowly missed each other at breakfast, so they decided there was no point in sitting around waiting so they both went out shopping or sightseeing, missed each other again that evening and didn39。d wait in the room and the
clerk promised to send his wife up to him when she arrived and he was shown up to a different room. So he turned on the TV and started Waiting. Well, they Both waited for a couple of hours and then the wife called reception, was told her husband still hadn39。No, not yet39。d wait in their room and she was shown to the room. So she turned on the TV and, you know, started waiting. Well, then about half an hour later the husband arrived and gave his name and spelt it out very carefully to the reception clerk and asked 39。No, not yet39。ll hear two people talking about travel experiences.
Man:...anyway, I felt pretty upset, I can tell you!
Woman: Haha. Well, something even worse happened to some friends of a colleague of mine in New York. The husband was on... on an extended business trip and the idea was that his wife would e over in the middle of it to spend a long weekend with him. He was flying in from Boston, and the wife from Europe and they were going to meet up on the Friday evening and stay the weekend together at one of those very big hotels near Central Park. Well, the hotel puter had got the first letter of their name wrong their name began with a B (I think it was Berry) but it was spelt on the puter with a P. So the wife arrived at the hotel gave her name and asked 39。ll have that, please.
