[johnandjade]

And same air hostess again!!!!
Wow, mate, she really must think you're an international jet-setter.
She'll be looking out for you on her next flight!

I honestly couldn't believe it!! I wanted to get a picture, but i fell asleep i was at the very back of the plane.... they brought out the drinks trolly and started at the front!!

 

[johnandjade]

Do you have the rest of the week off to recover?

going to try for tomorrow off though

 

[johnandjade]

Me in tears now, as i type.
Can't express how great it was and how much I liked your company.
This is not the end......................

Afternoon, John!
All Cold Dark Roomers, please note.
John did the impossible by being an even more lovely bloke in reality than his on-line self comes across.

Never doubted it for a minute!

I went and looked at the new bike.
Get this: I arrived and there is a "sold" sign on it. Made sense because I agreed to the MSRP plus a small premium for this model. (Since its very limited production.)
I've purchased six new and two used bikes from this dealership....same salesman since 1999.
I sat on it and noticed it felt very thin and small. Much tinier than my 1400r.
This is only a 1000cc. But it has a supercharger!
I looked over and saw myself sitting on it in the mirrored wall.
Almost Immediately I Heard Someone from across the room for me to get off of the bike. It was the manager. New kid. I'd never met him before. I told him it's ok because I had purchased it.
He paused and then told me that the person that purchased it was in finance "right now".
I walked over to finance and found my salesman, Emil, standing there. He looked at me like he just saw a ghost.
I raised my arms in a W.T.F.? motion.
He said he wasn't sure I wanted it. We had discussed it for weeks. It was ordered for me.
I walked out without speaking.
Any way two good things happened: 1...The next time I go in there I'll be treated like a king. AND 2, when I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked like a Bigfoot sitting on a bicycle. It was too tiny for me.
At about $30k, I have NO business buying a toy. I need to get serious about downsizing going into retirement!
So, in reality. It's all good.
Kelly agreed that I could buy it to make me happy.
Funny. But I am.

I love the image of you as Bigfoot on a bicycle.
Priceless.

What do you ROOMIES think about a phone number exchange?
Maybe shared by Email?
I'm not sure that I've placed an international phone call since I had a pen pal in Sweden in about 1976.
But I for one would like to speak to you all in person from time to time.

Message sent.
