Pretty much that. Connecting flight was delayed by 5 hours due to insane storms, so missed the on-bound home.

That was Thursday... Stuck up in a hotel at Joberg Airport right now, and hoping we're on the right tonight... If we are, it's a 6am landing tomorrow, then driving to meet the family about 40 minutes away from the airport, so we'll be waiting for 5 hours. Argh!!!

.... Anyone know someone who knows a guy who knows someone and can get us bumped up to first class... I'd settle for business!! ;)

I thought this was going to be about those phishing emails that claim your friend is stuck abroad and needs money to get home :D

Sorry to hear you're stuck :(

Can I suggest getting stuck into Love Shack to fill some time? ;-)

I often ask for free upgrades..... Virgin & BA are usually happy to upgrade to the next class for no charge ��

Windows to the Soul �� I asked when the connecting flight was sorting out new flights, but nothing. We're heading down again later when their ticket desk opens to ask about it.

Finhers crossed, even though its not their fault, hopefully we get someone a bit sympatbetic to the cause.

Cliff Mdx and it was an admirable attempt!!! ;)

 Could you not amuse yourself and the locals by singing the South African song from Spitting Image? That would pass some time ;) 

Kirk Schwarz said, 1555761475

Golding well.........

Looks around, sees a lot of South Africans.......

Maybe I'll just hum it... For the 10th day in a row!!

Right now I am busy getting jealous of Stretchy but I'll visit your port in a minute anyway.  It may not be your cup of tea, but I'll have to dunk myself in your work too 😂

If you can get across to Maputo, my mate runs a pedalo hire business there. If you fancy a long bit of pedalling, I'm sure he could fix you up.

Cliff Mdx haha he's worthy of some jealousy! Feel free to dip away, nowt much exciting in afriad!!
