The madness continues!
Not only has it been decided that my conquest of Europe should continue, I’ve actually been given a new role which will see me visiting my cheese-eating cousins more and more often.
I’m even learning German one phrase at a time and can now fluently tell people that I’m knitting a scarf, and that they are just lazy! In truth I did learn German at school many years ago but I can only remember one phrase and there are limited opportunities to practice asking someone for the quickest way to the tram stop.
Anyway back to Schiphol …
You know those moving walkway, travelator kind of things? Ever been briskly walking along on one when it suddenly stops – lurching foward as a result?
Ever been walking along one that HAS stopped only for it to suddenly spring back to life – this time throwing everybody backwards?
Ever been walking along one that HAD stopped and THEN sprung back to life, only for it to stop again – throwing everyone forward for a second time?
I have !
No-one sprang out with a microphone so I guess it was all to do with technical stuff, but there was a point where I was scanning the place for hidden cameras. I guess I’ll just have to wait to make my TV debut – think I’ll apply to go on “Who wants to be a Millionaire”.
