The Lateness Of The Long Distance Drinker

Sat morning I woke up from a booze induced deep sleep 15 minutes before I was due to catch a plane back to Perth!
i thought I was due to fly out 2 hours later...!

The tram line which was to take me to a shuttle bus was CLOSED for repairs!
My mobile phone battery was close to DEAD FLAT.
I ring the airline's ONE and ONLY contact number and was put on hold.

I ring my girl in Perth and ask them to call the airline for me..
An hour later (while I was chewing my nails to the bone on another Melbourne tram) my girl calls back to tell that the plane "..has been delayed for 2 hours..".. Holy hell! Another lucky break in my life!
Waited around Melbourne airport for 40 mins after jumping the queue due to being 'late'.

Bonus: had the whole back seat row of the plane to myself....! Could sleep some more.

reason for the aforementioned stress?
I HAD TO GET BACK TO PERTH TO PLAY A SHOW IN A MOTORHEAD COVERS GROUP CALLED ORGASMATRON.. (see next blog!) :S
