I've missed flights due to late connections. The first time it happened and I was very fresh of the boat I got to Heathrow and missed the flt to Manchester. I called my mate who was my boss at that time and said 'What th' F do I do now?'
'Are you standing in the middle of the domestic departure area?'
'Yeah.'
'Turn around 180o - what do you see?'
'Er - a bar...just the bar..?'
'Yeah - well go and get some beers down you whilst you wait for the next flight.'
'Sorted - ta!'
The only other time was in JKT & after a Friday night going to the finest (..well actually..) places in town I was so sakit scali I not only missed the flight to Singapore I missed the next day.
