This is Captain Lizard of Balkan Airlines flight BGH5814, requesting taxi to Runway 8 right, taking off for Plovdiv, ID LBPD. Weather at Gatwick is clear and fine, expecting weather in Bulgaria absolutely bucketing down with snow....This is Captain Lizard, bindings secure, sliding over the edge of THE WALL, this is...this is...zzzz
HUH, who said that? Oh damn, another bloody dream!
Captain Lizard...... you are clear for take off...... runway 8. Request that you turn 8 degrees left at 1500 feet then climb to an altitude of 33,000 feet.
Have a good flight, French air traffic control will pick up your flight at 15. 35 hours GMT
Just to let you know it was bucketing it down with rain in Plovdiv late yesterday, Steve from the snowshack came back last night just as it started to tip it down with snow here (whoops that is a bit of a giveaway isnt it).
Feeling jealous of you already only 2 more skiind days left...
The skiing was good today about 3 or 4 inches fell overnight and the pistes were very forgiving today.
