Location: Kuala Lumpur to Penang - Malaysia

Touch down, the tyres bump hard onto the runway on the island of Penang and the plane breaks hard and noisily. Despite the noise an almighty 'Thank God' is echoing around the plane. These words have come from only one mouth, Lindsay's.

The flight itself was very pleasant with the usual little shuddering as the plane climbed and then descended through the white puffy cloud line. This was a pleasant flight with nothing unusual or untoward happening. This view was only held by the staff, Lee, and the other passengers, excluding Lindsay.

In Lindsay's mind the plane was falling apart at the hinges. Every small shudder was due to another nut or bolt falling from parts of the plane that supported either the engines or wings or both. Either way we were all going to die. This was not going to be an innocent accident though, this was murder.

Lindsay looked at Lee laughing hysterically as another part was surely falling from the plane and plummeting to the ocean below, probably even hitting some poor shrimp fisherman’s boat and murdering him too. It was obvious Lee knew the plane was doomed, and if he thought this was funny, was he indeed behind it? Did he want to kill himself? And more importantly, murder his own brother?

The breathing got heavier and the chest tighter, the veins on his neck were pulsating and grew inflamed to the extent that he resembled Deirdre Barlow from Coronation Street. His temples pulsated, his eyes grew red and just as the heart started to feel like it was being squeezed to it last beat…….we landed. An involuntary 'Thank God' was released from the now exhausted Lindsay and the Deirdre Barlow similarities disappeared and the Steve Macdonald appearance returned. All was good.

We checked into a hotel which had working Wi-Fi (for once) and geeked it out by the computer all night. We had also been sent an E4 advertisement for their website and it featured us. How mad is that? Granted not as mad as Hussain, Hitler or Bush but we still thought it mad enough.
