I’ll say it now, one of the best posts on here ever. Just imagining nikkers and her so silently trudging up the stairs to the aircraft in holiday wear, but with cycle helmets strapped on.

Faces like a pair of smacked bums. But in bike helmets.

i honestly can’t believe it either. I’m still smiling.

the idea that they both adjusted the fit of their helmets in the departures area before boarding adds a new level of hilarity to it. the shit faced smile of the flight attendant welcoming passengers onboard. the awkward fumbling to get the helmets off onboard the aircraft and then safely stow them in the overheard compartment, while some awful family tries to shove their souvenir bags into the same space.

Yeah the one time I ended up at Southend from Amsterdam as a result of a missed flight I was pretty impressed by how quick it was into town

#102

Ah really? Connections are much better than I thought then. Fair play

#103

Just completely lost it at my desk picturing @plasticniki and @plasticmike boarding with their helmets on.

oh god.

Second funniest thing I’ve read on DiS after LLBs deaf colleague story. Amazing.

Never had any issues with them.

I bought half an ounce of weed home from Amsterdam on an Easyjet flight once.

it actually takes 55 mins apparently. been a while since I’ve got that line. But yes it’s still quick and likely to be quicker than gatwick/heathrow, especially for the city/stratford/east london.

Southend airport will have routes with Flybe to Glasgow, Manchester and Dublin in the autumn which is a real bonus.

Read that story again yesterday. Absolute classic.

Proper LOLing away here at PNiks and the bike helmets. Fucking Hell.

From the trolley?

what story is that?

EasyJet also made me do that with a travel cushion I had clipped to my backpack. I had no other hand luggage than the backpack cos I’d checked the case in. They made me wear it round my neck. I think they’ve got a staff bet on who can make th customers look the most stupid.

That thing looks great, I would need no encouragement to wear it to board a plane, or indeed in everyday life.

From MUJI. Probably one of the best things I have ever bought for travel. The cover is removable for washing too.

(Mine is blue not stripy- they seem to make them in a lot of different fabrics)

What do they do if you’ve bought something from Duty Free? Make you smoke 200 Bensons before they let you on?
