As long as they didn't call you late to dinner!

And Sailaway? You want him in Portugal with high speed internet, or Podunk, Wyoming with dialup?

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Here's a NEWS FLASH FROM THE CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS TO CONTINENTAL-SHITTY-SUCKY-CRAPPY-NO GOOD-LOOSER-I HOPE IT GOES BANKRUPT-AIRLINES

I AM STUCK IN NEW JERSEY SINCE 9 PM LAST NIGHT....

IN 9 CONTINENTAL AIRLINES FLIGHTS RECENTELY HERE IS MY SCORE:

7- DELAYED FLIGHTS THAT CAUSED ME TO ARRIVE LATE TO MEETINGS AND TO WERE I SHOULD BE !!!!!!!!!! ALL THESE SINCE DECEMBER LAST YEAR

2- FLIGHTS CANCELLED - ONE TO THE US AND ONE INTO ST.THOMAS

1- (LAST NIGHT WAS THE WINER) MY 3RD CANCELLED FLIGHT IN A MONTH.


I flew from Denver, after meeting good friend Charlie (a nice guy by the way), and arrived in Boston, for a flight that was leaving to Europe.

The flight was cancelled. They sent me to Newark, where I was supoposed to arrive at 6 pm, and arrived at 9 pm because Continental did no have ground crew in Newark and we waited 1 1/2 hours in front of the gate so the "chauffeur" could park the plane.

My flight to Lisbon....not surprisingly was delayed to 10:20...mine and 4 outher flights...their excuse..the ground crews couldn't get the planes to the gates...ice they said...but only on the Continental gates...all others were flying OK...

so we waited till midnight...then suddenly...the crew took off...sorry...we can't go would be working over the limit of hours....

FLIGHT CANCELLED...

Nowhere to go...4 hours in a line to get them to give us a hotel...which they did not want to give because they claimed weather...there was a riot....of course the weather was fine, except for Continental...

Finally at 6 am got into the Holiday Inn Newark. Continenatl has me going home Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said SCREW YOU AND YOUR SHITTY LOSER AIRLINE...bought a ticket with Air Portugal..leaving at 10 pm tonight...our planes fly...

My luggage??? well they can't find it.....idiots

So here I am...at a Hotel in Newark...while my whole family is at home for my son's first birthday...

I will as long as I live, curse, badbouth and throw that damned no good company down...I will make it the fight of my life with all my strenghts....

I will bring it down......already sent an emeil to 250 people (including CEO's of large companies I know) ...

DOWN WITH CONTINENTAL AND THEIR IDIOTIC ATTITUDE PRICKS

Sorry to hear that. At least if the delay was at this end I could have picked you up and given you some home cooking.

DOWN WITH CONTINENTAL THE WORSE AIRLINE IN THE WORLD

OK Beagle...where were we??

Ahh yes...Its ridiculous...any airline I have been in the US, even Buddy Holly Shity plane airline works fine...except for Continental (*).

So now I am here in Newark..waiting for my flight with ANOTHER AIRLINE, that will take me home....which continental does not understand is the concept of an airline...to take people place by air

(*) THE WORSE AIRLINE IN THE WORLD
