Petesie's PI Trip Report

Petesie's On the Hoof Trip report!
I arrived in Qatar airport for the onward flight to LoS, bit of a let down this place as they don't sell alcohol in the airport, not even in the lounges, I get past this by getting my Duty Frees and buying a can of 7up from Costa Coffee and sitting quietly surfing the net with a Black Label on the go, I can't not fly and drink, it's traditional; this will be my 36th flight this year and I hate flying, so there you go though I don't mind it when I'm flying already.........its the hub of Asia here and the rest of the Gulf States with all the Asian contractors going back for the first time in 2 years or end of contract, I hate the Arabs messing them about and I try to chat to them and help them work the telly.....especially the Indonesian maids..........
Did my usual on my rush out the door and forget some of the necessities, condoms, lube, Viagra, aargh! This was due to me ringing the banks to tell them where my cards will be next and being on hold for 30 minutes, then getting the run around even though I do this lots of times a year! Never mind, I'm on the way with a spring in me step, a fire in me belly and once I've been to the Pharmacy in the Avenue in the morning, all sorted and a rush of blood to the nether regions!
I enjoy Qatar Airlines as the service is generally good and as a result of joining their Club they've actually upgraded me a few times which is good for me liver as once I'm in business I tend to crash whereas cattle class it's ding, more whisky.....Pissed, as seen by Qatar Airlines passengers somewhere over the Gulf of Thailand.........
The flight was fairly uneventful though a ratbagged Swedish guy was evicted prior to departure as he took a photo of an old Arab sat with two bin bags and they got all upset, the guy did apologise but the Arabs threatened to get off the plane, I did suggest they just move him further up but poor old Sweden was ousted, the Arab ladies were all covered in the black stuff so you couldn't see anything any way......
I bought some Bose noise canceling headphones, brilliant, and they do work and really enhance the onboard entertainment system, I was watching the Johnny Cash film, I walk the line, I'd had 4 whiskies and wine with the meal when I noticed the stewardess and a few folk looking at me .........Fuck.....I'd been singing..........
Breezed through customs and immigration in 10 minutes and Mr Po was there waiting for me with the trusty Toyota to whiz me to my hotel with the aid of his mighty mirror amulet............bit of a grey day so far.....
The Loom in the PBR is fab, wanted the Presidential but not available at the mo, settled on the de-luxe as it has a tub, the staff are there usual welcoming selves and even shook hands with Kim the owner, good stuff so far.
Right, I'm off for a meander, will post from a Loom near you soon.......
