Right guys, I'm ready to go now. Good advice... Hur hur, perfume called 'Lamer'. A game show in an airport - mad! Ellie decides to call Grandma and Grandad to say "Hiya!" Oops, that's not meant to happen is it? Er right, so what time is it again? HIYAAAAAA! Well, at least *someone* is getting some sleep! We've been up 30 hours now - you can't tell can you?
