Dartling Jane <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took off about forty-five minutes ago and are thousands of feet above fuck knows where <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot see much as there is heavy cloud<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a strange sensation which is difficult to describe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is almost as if we are in limbo halfway up the stairway to Heaven <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think of God a lot when I am flying and I would like to think that he loves me <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise I am fucked <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabin is very quiet with a lot of people watching the inflight movie which is a sort of Game of Thrones without the tits <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a window seat just behind the wing and have a clear view of the massive engines <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How big and powerful they are but how small our plane seems in this grey void <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not sure who the comedian was but he said that he was not scared of flying <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the flying into mountains that pissed him off <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night I dreamt that i was on the doomed Chapecoense flight <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often have the same dream before I fly <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very disturbing as I can see the ground hurtling towards me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then nothing <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I usually wake up in a sweat <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A doctor tells me that I was one of six survivors out of seventy-seven poor souls <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selfishly I ask him whether I will play again and am told that my injuries are superficial  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that is all <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would imagine that we are flying above the ice seas <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well at least I can swim that is if I survive the impact and do not freeze to death in the sea <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes I hate flying <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of my job I have to fly <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish I could travel on luxury liners <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I have to be here and there too quickly <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is our lifestyle correct <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We like to think that Stan and Jane are Zen people but we are not <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our apartment has cost a fortune<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just to live in London <\/p>\n\n\n\n

St P and Kings X used to have a poor reputation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full of Toms and knocking shops   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bit now it is chic <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a cafe society <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look down on the unfortunates <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When in fact we are the unfortunates<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw people on the streets in NYC <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobody gave a fuck about them <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It happens in London but we have the Sally Army <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who with others do their bit <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet in 2022 we have food banks in the UK why <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They did not exist when we were young <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maxwell lives in LA and he showed me photos of the poverty on the streets <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is ghastly <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot are on drugs or are soaked <\/p>\n\n\n\n

America is the ultimate multicultural society<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need I say more <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It just does not work  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liberal is the most dangerous word in the English Language<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am on my soapbox as I am scared <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not of the flight <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But of the inflight meals <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks like what was sucked into the engines earlier <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yuk <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am reading Death Wish and am getting a few odd looks <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Has society changed that much <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bang Bang there goes another one <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sad thing is that when a bad guy gets ventilated <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We feel a happiness it satisfies our lust as we are all vigilantes at heart <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What amuses me is that all the bad people are either black or from another minority <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should feel bad about this but I do not as I am unconsciously racist<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why else would I read this pulp<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do hope that we do not hit turbulence as I can see whatever is dead on my plate being dead on my lap and roasting my balls at the same time   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I said I will make my own way back from the airport <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am looking forward to seeing and holding you again in my arms <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will close now as I am going to attempt to kill then eat my lunch <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It smells horrible and is worse that the shit movie <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plane is more or less on time although the winds are not favourable<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see I purchased the drapes and I hope you liked the colour <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have never heard of Blush Grey but I did like the shade<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radio Silence for a while – I will if I can catch up with you again or tell you when I land <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be safe and  bankrupt me in London again <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to think that I would be overlooking the trains in about eight hours <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A confession I broke the rules an purchased a teddy bear for you <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have already named it for you <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not Sissy but H D Houdini <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can either love it or throw it out of the window <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closing Now – by jove this food (I do not know what it is or whether it still retains its vital signs) is tasty <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Stan Missing Jane <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together Soon Once Again <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stan xxx<\/p>\n\n\n\n
