Hello friends. I can't apologise enough but I promise I've spent all morning trying to find a solution and it's impossible. With the shutting down of Heathrow Airport today - which is essentially unprecedented for those that care - I cannot get to the @WhatCultureWWE live show tomorrow in Belfast. My flight and back-up flights have been cancelled.
Really rough day as instead of my plane landing in London Heathrow. Half way over the ocean and got turned back into Boston due to what's going on at Heathrow. Hearts in bits as I was looking forward to seeing the mrs & kid.
Oh dear stuck in Switzerland, I think I can cope.
The blaze at the North Hyde substation in Hayes, west London, which supplies Heathrow, caused a major power outage at the airport.
