Well......

Was meant to be picking my S2000 up today so I arrived at Edinburgh Airport at 9.20, flying out 10.50am.

The flight was then delayed by an hour. No problem.

The flight was then delayed for 2 hours. Bearable. Due to the weather at Heathrow

Bearing in mind I needed to get down there for, at the latest 3pm so I could transfer money into the guys account and view the car thoroughly.

Then the fire alarm went off. Thought nothing of it as the voice said it wasn't in my terminal.

Sat for 20 minutes then just as we start to board.....FULL SCALE EVACUATION!

We were moved further and further away from the terminal and was told they had found a suspicious Pacakge. 20 minutes later they decided to close the airport for 2hrs. Bomb squads, army, fire brigade, police the full works piled in.

They carried out a controlled explosion I believe. So here I am at work, S2000 less

BMI have allowed me to re-arrange the flights though

Not a good day

Think I'm going to "try" and stay away from Vtec until back in Scotland as I will most definatly a) get caught speeding or b) crash

Also need some more placements to help fund this....
