Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Well we got on the plane on time, and everything was looking good. Then the snow storm that was supposed to pass to the north of us hit. It came down so fast and with the freezing temperatures the snow froze on the plane.
So that was our take off delayed. The captain announced that we would have to taxi over to the de-icing pad. Turns out we were ninth in line, so with us all onboard the plane we waited three hours to be de-iced. Then it was up up and away for what turned out to be the fastest transatlantic fight I've ever done. New York JFK to London Heathrow in five hours forty minutes.
On landing we had to go to flight connections for the boarding cards for our rearranged internal flight to Manchester. Our transit through customs and immigration was ok up till I set the alarm of with my belt buckle. Then I almost had to strip down to my undies, while this prick of an immigration officer scanned me with his electronic wand, Maz had been stopped by him too, so that meant we were both in foul moods, lol.
Sheila and Sue both said that we should calm down and forget it, but these immigration pricks think they're God and really piss me off. Then again the girls are right and there's not much you can do about the immigration guys because they always have the upper hand.
Anyway despite that and the problems on the first part of the cruise, we really had a good time, and the second part of the cruise was one of the best we've ever had.
