Sitting in a tin can

This is what the plane that takes me to Canada will look like...

Zoom 767

It's a Boeing 767. It seats 268 people. This is the seating plan for the Boeing 767 (I'm assuming that the real plane will have had its wings put back on).

767 seating plan

I know where I'll be sat when my flight takes off next Friday. I know where I'll be sat for periods of the journey too. I don't know where I'll be at the end of it, but hopefully, it'll be the same place that I start out in.

Today's quiz is "Guess Tina's seat number".

Fucking terrified.


RIP Aaron Spelling
Aaron Spelling amassed a $300m fortune as TV's most successful producer. With programmes like Starsky & Hutch, Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat, DYNASTY, Beverly Hills 90210, TJ Hooker (and loads more), he was responsible for the mind candy that entertained millions throughout the 1970s and 1980s. In my opinion, TV has three main purposes: entertainment; education; information. His programmes were absolutely brilliant, no doubt about it. His programmes were the epitome of escapist entertainment and I don't think they have been bettered.

The most outrageous was of course Dynasty and we all know how much I want a Dynasty funeral. Is it fate the Dynasty's creator has died the week before I might die?

I guess things have moved on from the times when TV viewers would be satiated by such progammes; in this day and age, they probably wouldn't be nearly as successful. How lucky are we that we grew up during that time when Spelling's programmes filled our screens?


Clubbing
I think I'm going clubbing tonight. Oh Lordy!

I was out last night too: I met up with Jo and one of her friends, Nicky, as they enjoyed an afterwork drink in town. Their requirement for food meant a walk through a few different parts of the City Centre. It was really nice and Nicky, who is Australian (who also knows what a Cakesniffer is), made some comments about the architecture and the whole style of the place that you don't notice as a local - especially if you're a local motorist. Having couped myself in a tiny room with a computer for most of my evenings these past 6 or so years, I'd forgetten how stimulating it is to be amongst the hustle and bustle of mid-summer revellers as they make the most of the clement weather.

Very nice indeed.

Definitely seat no 1 in premium class with cordon blue cusine, complimentary neck massages, and all the champagne you can drink (not that you'll drink any of it).

I liked the dark haired one in Charlie's Angels. Farah Fawcett was overated. Her teeth were too big

I'll give you a clue: I'm not going to be in a yellow seat. Maybe a brown one, but not a yellow one.

I liked the one played by Jackeline Smith in Charlie's Angels - and Sabrina. The two dark-haird ones at any rate.

Spelling also did Fantasy Island.

What was opinion on Lindsay Wagner? I thought she was top notch as the bionic woman. And I ADORED Linda Carter as Wonder Woman.

Twenty-six.

All American women look like buffed up hairdressers (with no taste).
I'll have Gabriella Sabatini, thanks.

I always played Kelly (Jacqueline Smith's angel) when we played Charlie's Angels at recess.

I know you don't need this, or even want it maybe, but I have to say it - I'm very proud of you for getting out and about more. Takes courage.

And hey - I saw that Victoria Wood will be having a new series. Ace!

Sabatini is gorgeous.

Kelly! that was it. I could never remember the names. Tsk.

Oh, and wrong on the seat number, btw.

I'm always Sabrina whenever Tazzy and I play at Charlies Angels with one of the teddies.

No, Tazzy doesn't play Bosley.

I reckon you'll be sat on the toilet seat all the way there - just make sure not to flush before standing or you'll lose your insides, sucked right out of your crack they'll be.

Oh you will actually be sitting in your chair?

I will be huddled up terrified under mine.

Isn't it nice that those in premium seating get to be killed first if the plane hits something?

FT, all American women? Wow. Very dramatic statement, that.
