ewenm Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I'm very happy because Helen (my significant other) is getting back tomorrow from 3 months away. The only fly in this rather smooth ointment is that her flight lands at 5:30am at Heathrow Given that I am well known for not really being alive before 8am, a 4am start could be difficult, so... Any suggestions for how I can force myself out of bed at that ungodly hour 🤔 Oh good, bonus bit of news is that Singapore Air reckon the flight is going to land early at 5:09am. Joyous ☹️ 71482 miles and counting... but a broken wrist ❗ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not a Postman Pat Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Rent a couple of cool movies, get some food and drink in, stay up during the night, and go to bed when you and Helen get back home Pat and his not quite black and white cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud 9 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Couple of pints of Red Bull, you wont sleep for days I do the Heathrow run a couple of times a month to pick up my boss, some on very early landings, take comfort from the fact at that time of day there is a lot less traffic around Heathrow.I bet you will be suprised how busy it is even at that time of morning.

Rowly Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Place a bucket of water beside your bed and loll your free hand into it. The resulting soiling should keep you up for some time.

Mrs Mav Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Have a wee dram of something tastey then go to bed early with loads and loads and loads of clocks, phones, etc etc set to go off at 03:50 onwards That should do the trick Vivien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewenm Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 😳 😬 Just checked Autoroute - it reckons it'll take me 90 mins to get to Heathrow from Bath so it looks like 3:30am is more appropriate.
