Flight delayed. Stupid flight.

Yes, it's airport internet kiosk time again. They also have WiFi access, but that's £4 for half an hour, whereas using this is 10p per minute. Interestingly, it seems that the WiFi would happily allow me to send ping packets out - clearly I need an IP-over-ICMP tunnelling protocol which would allow me to cunningly get free internet access. Although possibly this is is of dubious legality.

Needless to say, they haven't actually announced the delay (despite the fact that we should have started boarding quarter of an hour ago), and merely put it up on the departure boards. On the bright side, if I was flying to Chicago today rather than Toulouse, I'd be delayed in excess of seven hours instead of just one.
