2:20pm @davethelimey Both of my hands are in the air at this point.

2:28pm The iPad release date may have been pushed back to April, but you can still pre-order in time for my birthday. Just sayin.

2:52pm @robkerr What kind of freaky birthday presents did you get growing up?

2:54pm @davethelimey Should have replied closing in time to when you said this: http://bit.ly/c7rD24 It was the pint I was mostly interested in.

4:53pm @davethelimey @allpointsnorth Keep in touch.

4:58pm It’s really dull in the office on your own. You end up fixing printers. Or making time lapse videos. http://bit.ly/bd2mSd

7:46pm So which of the two birthday things on tonight that I’m not going to name in case you deliberately weren’t invited are you going to?

5:22pm If you ever wondered what happens if Easyjet’s server goes down during check in: they write each boarding pass out by hand. Every. One.

6:05pm And then, and then each person has to identify their bags before boarding. Every person. Every checked bag. Fun fun times.

6:11pm And then I trod in a huge puddle. There wasn’t room in the baggage allowance for spare shoes.

6:15pm @nickjdillon Luton. But we have heard similar stories from our Gatwick correspondent.

6:25pm So. Not enough seats for everyone now on the plane. Awkward.

6:38pm @riptari I think the people that paid for Priority Boarding get first call on that.

6:56pm Four people have to take the offer and get off or no one flies. It’s like waiting for someone in class to own up.

6:57pm @tom_warren Luton to Barcelona. It is TENSE.

7:09pm We now have the same amount of people onboard as seats. Basic maths is no longer the thing holding us up.

7:12pm @tom_warren Yep, saw it - all fine with me.

9:50pm Finally landed in Barcelona. At least the 3hr delay means my shoe is now just slightly damp rather than sopping wet.

Today

12:23am If you still need to get to Barcelona cheaply tomorrow Monarch is £185 from 15:40 Manchester, 10:20 train Euston to Manchester Airport.
