BMI Baby(sitting)

Was on a BMI Baby domestic flight a few years back. Decided to quietly and unobtrusively get on with reading my book on the otherwise empty front row whilst the safety demo was given. At the end of the demo the steward at the front sat next to me and highlighted the fact that I hadn't paid close attention to the demo. As he was clearly on a role, I didn't attempt to interject and let him continue with then repeating the whole thing for my personal benefit. I started to feel liek one of the crew when he got to the end of the standard demo and started to tell me how to open the main door and how the slide operated - along with some other non-standard bits and bobs.

Anyway, since that day I've felt all safety briefings to be inadequate by comparison. In fact, I'm thinking of asking the pilot to give me a briefing on how to fly the plane next time...
