Back (again)...

So we’re back in Singapore now. After a short week (i.e. 6 days) back in Blighty, it was time to leave. Emirates did their best to delay us again, though. An hour on the runway on the way to the UK was bested by an hour and a half on the runway on the return leg; apparently there was a passenger who had not made the onwards sector of his flight, and his luggage was off-loaded, meaning we lost our slot for take-off. We finally got under way, and reached Singapore at around 9:30pm last night (Sunday).

The food was good, though, and the Thai Chicken Red Curry was well worth the trip. The in-flight entertainment system is working much better now on Emirates, and they are currently rolling out the ICE product. This is similar to that which Singapore Air has, where you can choose you movie from a catalogue and start, stop, and pause as you wish. It’s not on all aircraft yet, but will be soon.

For those interested in that kind of thing, we watched The Queen (excellent), Things to Do Before You're 30 (Dougray Scott, Brit-flick, also excellent), Stormbreaker (Ewan McGregor, fun), and I watched Wall Street (Sheen team, classic).
