Well dear readers, this should be my final post from the American odyssey that has been my last couple of weeks. Actually, that is not true exactly, there is actually lots to come about this trip. However, as I type this, the sun is blazing down on Dallas Fort Worth Airport but a phone call to Mrs FM revealed that the Free Markettes had been making snowmen this morning – looks like I wont be needing my sunglasses for a bit then.

Needless to say, a little bit of snow has caused London’s Heathrow Airport to grind to a complete halt but what the hell, when I checked in my luggage half an hour ago, I figured that it was probably the last time I was going to see my cases if the news about the new baggage systems at Heathrow is to be believed. This is a great shame as they as stuffed full of telescopic sights, rifle magazines for my Rugers & a veritable pile of gun porn.

Whilst I have been to the States many times, I have never made it to Texas before. Now over the next few days I hope to be able to find time to write a little more about the experience, but lets just say, between now & when I land in London, I will be trying very hard to work out how to wangle another trip.

Right now however “when I get back to London” seems to be somewhat in doubt because of the few flakes of snow that have fallen in the UK, the whole place has gone to rat sh1t & my flight has been delayed. Normally I get really pissed (in the American sense of the word) when this sort of thing happens, but the nice ladies in the British Airways lounge have found me a packet of smokos, bottle of whiskey & somewhere where I can avail myself of the pleasures of both . Therefore dear readers, if you will excuse me, I now intend to get thoroughly pissed (in the British sense of the word) while I wait for my flight; See you all (but probably not my baggage) at some stage tomorrow.
