Well, that really was a LONG check-in, and whilst I'm used to being carried everywhere, being bumped up the stairs because the lift doesn't work isn't exactly my usual stylish entrance to a lounge, but here I am in the BA Terraces at Manchester T3 (Ken says "actually, what's left of them, this is only a shadow of what it was when it opened!") delays at check-in, and the unprecedented loss of our baggage (before we even took off!) has meant I've had to give up on visiting my old favourite haunt - the bmi Diamond lounge, but perhaps it's for the best, some things are fonder as memories, especially the friendly service from all of my fans on the desk there.
