Tehran is supposed to be a decent place. In all likelihood if I leave here it'll probably be Lagos next.

Ah Lagos the Nigerian scammers paradise, hold on to your wallet Pete and everything else you are fond of.
Has the season ended it seems like it, what a bloody awful mixed up season it's been, has any other club been gameless for as long as us?

I thnik Fulham have also been blightes with a lack of games. But this really has a quasi-pre season feel to it. Two games in about two months, then 4 in the space of 3 days. or something. The thing is I think this will work in our favour. We'll be playing with better players against teams who will be as tired, and stretched as us. I think we will click the more we play in a shorter space of time, and expect us to finish the season well.

Nice place Lagos. You can murder someone and pay the police £20 to look the other way.

IanB, if it's not too traumatic, what happened on that flight?

Was it the worst turbulence that you've ever experienced that made even the cabin crew cry and beg for their lives? Was everyone on their phones calling up loved ones saying that they did truly love them and sorry the argument this morning? Was it really just a little bumpy and the crew were laughing at the big pissed man?

Wouldn't it be better to do that the other way round?

Were you taken up the Gary Glitter by an amorous flight attendant?

That would freak me out, too, and I fly regularly!

I think Jon Crofts has a similar tale to tell, if memory serves me correctly.

It ruined me flying-wise. I've tried hypnotism and taking tablets since, but I'm still a nervous wreck. I really do get to the point where I feel I HAVE to make the plane land, and land that instant, and it's all I can do to sit there. It's just not worth it for me at the moment. It's actually very frightening when you have that realisation that you could actually go berserk on the plane.

What happened? Maybe nothing / a small thing to some, but an engine blew, the plane dropped like a stone, I fell over and hit the door, which I thought I was going through, and we continued to plummet for what seemed like hours, more likely two minutes. I had my daughter with me who was 18 months at the time, and I was convinced that our number was up. Very traumatic, and writing that brought it back.
