Flying to London for work in 20 min. The plane is so empty that most of us have our own row...

Are you flying at an odd hour? I was in Central Europe in January and planes and trains seems pretty full.

Yes, very early in the morning to still make to our UK office. Maybe that's why...

Enjoy the cuisine
(I actually ate very well in London. Lots of ethnics)

The famous British cuisine, you say?

I'll be in Cambridge mostly and in London Friday night. Should be fine with food in those places.

Some funny bar food in the countryside here. Ever heard of honey glazed piggies? First for me.

Did a search. Did not even come up. But it sounds... ok.

Hyperbole re aircraft carriers is justified. As part of my job a group of us was given a tour of one during NYC Fleet Week many years ago. Standing on the deck (seen above) is at once awesome and frightening. Below decks is not for anyone who suffers from claustrophobia though.

Are they pigs in a blanket glazed with honey?

I'm afraid only small saussages glazed with honey

I know I haven't had much coffee yet, but reading the above sentence and my brain replacing "only" with "of" made for a jarring difference

^ Yeah - it seemed like he was a huge threat to pull out a machine gun and kill or injure at least 30 people there, huh?

I know that part of the reason that they ALWAYS overreact is to discourage others from going onto the field, etc. - but there's no doubt that the majority of these 'security' buffoons (and many cops) enjoy the 'power' of being thugs.

I would have walked out to the guy, and simply said to him "Sorry, bud, but we have to escort you out now. I hope the proposal works out - but this really isn't the right place to do that."
Add on a $500 fine.
That would have been a much more appropriate reaction to the actual situation.
ABSOLUTELY ZERO reason to physically assault him (other than to further inflate the fragile egos of the 'security' goons, who should be referred to as INsecurity, rather than 'security'.).
