Goddammmit I hate the hanging around bit when you have a flight but just not enough time to go do something......but too much time to pass with a newspaper.

Sitting in a spartan reception / bar in the middle of France right now bored out of my bloody skull.

Entertain please folks, entertain! Where's Hambones when you need him?

    Excellent idea. Running around France with a bow and arrow.

    Just don't mention Agincourt :D

    I should spend your time working out how you're going to make your millions from bored pax such as yourself. There is deffiniely a market for something to entertain.

    Eating overpriced food and browsing the expensive stuff in the (not) duty free is not that intersting after the first time.

    Take all your clothes off.

    Then put them all back on again.

    Then take them all off again.

    Keep going untill you get bored.

    bow and arrow an France reminds of the Monty Python sketch

    Whooo, that was entertaining.

    Apparently there is a bylaw prohibiting shooting arrows at trees in the grounds of french hotels :D

    Large beer served, let the boredom re-commence....

    Sod it. Still bored. You guys are useless.

    I'm back over the road to Decathlon to spend more money I don't have.

    Watch this space eagerly for an update tonight. I may buy a spear gun for no other reason than I don't own one and I think every house should, in case of shark attack.
