Ahhhhh, 4.30am rise, Russian taxi driver who must have learnt his driving from the fairground dodgems! Every set of lights saw him push the accelerator so far down that he must have hit the asphalt each time and braking for lights involved a worse deceleration than a space shuttle on re-entry!!!!

And then the airport, virgin premier club line clearly indicated I walked to the front waiting to be seen, along with 4 other people. 5 minutes later snotty madam asks us why we are all queuing there and that we must join the normal queue during early hour flights, really, where does it say that then. An argument ensued where she stormed off and refused to deal with anyone until she felt the tension had dissipated, oh my god! Her colleague took over after that.

On then to a 1hr 15min queue through the LAX security, 8 lanes of hell, remove all items of clothing, yet a group of students took a 16inch Domino’s Pizza box through without even being challenged. And a woman took her pet pooch in a child’s pram around the scanner. For me after the full Total Recall body scanner, a full pat down because the TSA guy doesn’t trust the scanner. And why are we co concerned at airports

Anyhoo I can chill now on my flight to Boston, then wait for my Manchester flight from there.

Weather in Santa Monica yesterday 17 and cloudy, today 16 and rain, preparation for the UK then.
