The shirt reminds me of the cheat...cuz they sound the same...not really. But they're both 'good' (yes, I know that has a broad spectrum of meanings, figure it out). And, I just thought that it'd be interesting to look at the list of the 5 worst airports in the world on MSN, suspecting that perhaps the one that I'm gonna have to go to might just be on there because of the warnings of certain experienced (?) people. And not only was it on there, but they said that it was THE worst airport in the world (this is not including airports in places that most people would never in their right mind want to go). So, here's what they said:
London Heathrow (LHR). This airport is so laughably bad that it deserves its own category. It's a dark, confusing maze blocked with security checkpoints staffed by humorless bureaucrats. And just when you think you've found your gate, you're forced to board a rickety bus that takes you to yet another dark, confusing maze of a terminal. On my last visit to this airport, I contracted a wicked case of Norwalk virus, the dreaded gastrointestinal ailment known for infecting cruise passengers. Thanks a lot, Heathrow. Matt Petersen, who works for a nonprofit organization in Alexandria, Va., says he's willing to overlook the cigarette smoke and confusing layout at Heathrow, "but there's no getting around the annoyance of that long, twisting, lurching bus ride." Indeed, there isn't.
One redeeming quality: The airport employees. Apart from the stone-faced security guards, the gate agents, customs officials, and airline employees I've met are friendly and apologetic about the monstrosity they work in. Adds Sharon Adcock, a consultant from Manhattan Beach, Calif.: "The shopping isn't bad, either." (2, 3, 4, 5 were Mexico City, Frankfurt, Moscow Sheremetyevo, and Paris Charles De Gaulle respectively.)
Now, can you imagine me going through that horror by myself with my shyness? I'm really gonna have to work on that if I want to survive. Me dealing with scary humourless bureaucratic security people? Help! I think maybe I'll just walk to Capernwray...but no, flying (although it terrifies me) is so much fun (I guess I'm one of those that laughs in the face of danger...rollercoasters and flying...I love 'em but I'm so frickin scared of 'em). Popcorn for lunch, ooh yeh. :D
