Evil Peter Stringfellow, Twin Peaks Blair is one of my favourites of his many personae. He only appears when the wall between our realm and the next is at its thinnest.

Was there not a BAR open?Flying back from Rome, got an early flight, got to the airport even earlier than I should due to sharing a taxi with someone and just as I got through security and the point of no return, got a flight delay notification which had ended up being around 3 hours.
STILL, we’ve all been shepherded into lines and made to stand up for half an hour, now, so surely it’s going to actually go this time. #SPEEDYBOARDING

Fiumicino Airport really is the PITS.Oh and none of the charging points worked in the workspace area either, so couldn’t do any work.
I mean, I’ve had a lovely time, but Rome really is a fucking dump.

Going to Rome tomorrow![]()
I flew out of Helsinki the other day on Finnair.
Amazing airport and fantastic airline.
Fiumicino Airport really is the PITS.

My core memory of Fiumicino is feeling utterly drained arriving there after our car broke down in a notorious cruising layby outside of Florence (!) which left us late arriving and having to beg British Airways to put us on the last flight out![]()

Looking forward to the update in a couple of hours on what you got up to in the tiny plane toiletOn the plus side, there is a hot cubby chub air steward on this flight who needs to be locked in my cellar, so that’s nice.

I've always used them for any flights earlier than midday, and let's face it most the cheap ones at about 7am. Makes life so much easier!Airport hotels are ESSENTIAL. Bland as fuck but total game changer for me.
