Any airport that takes me away on holiday is marvellous, be it East Midlands, Gatwick, who cares!
Any airport that I have to go to at the end of my holiday is grim, very much like my mood-holiday over and the inevitable return to work.

You were lucky mate. I used to fly back to college from Bangkok with a stop over at Schipol where the cases would come off and then get ticketed and transfered ready for London.
Cue arriving at London at customs where the office would look at my two labels
bangkok = counterfeit goods and drugs
holland = more drugs, **** and diamond smuggling
The twang of the rubber glove brings back terrible memories

I was in Amsterdam a few months ago, watch out for mcdonalds they offer you and ketchup or mayo and then add a euro to your bill for them 
I was stuck there for 9 hours waiting for my crappy city air plane to take me in to London, luckily I got there early in the morning got a 24 hour voucher for the wifi, and got one of the nice reclined comfy chairs upstairs near the massage place, over the rest of the day I watched 100s of people circling the chairs like vulchers round a dead animal, there's was no chance I was moving an inch out of mine!
Has any way seen the armed cops on sedgeways? Funniest thing I have ever seen!

Perth is ok except for the longest wait for bags ever.
I've good memories of Bahrain as well, departures that is, NOT arrivals, since being in departure mean flying home from work for a month off! Nothing like getting on that plane.

I don't get it. I mean at least John Lennon is somehow a 'young forever' kind of icon even if he was ultimately just a figment of shallow pop culture and a pseudo-mystic. Liverpool are kind of desperate to be 'special' and they hang onto the Beetles thing like it is all they have though.
Best drank himself to death in middle age and I can't say that to anyone under 40 that Best is anything else put a famous pisshead. He did nothing of any consequence after football other than party, get pissed and be buddies with Parkinson etc. Even his football career was a tale of wasted potential in many ways.
