Steve writes about Switzerland:
Super Secure
After 95 days I finally joined the Hilarity gang, ready to enjoy the remaining 5% of the fun. Myself and Loren (sorry, Loren and I) flew out from London to some obscure place "in" Barcelona - of course in mainland Europe "in" is roughly translated as "waaaaay out." The security at the airport was somewhat intense, including pat-downs and shoe x-rays. By the time we actually got on the air vehicle I was feeling very safe until I heard a strange sound and an odd smell. Looking to my right I noticed the girl across the aisle playing with her lighter - flame goes on, flame goes out. When she noticed that several people were staring at her, she put it away - realising the flight-cancelling possibility of having a lighter on board.
After arriving in Spain and waiting a few hours for Matt and Si to pick us up we made for the border. After a brief pause in France we are now hanging out in Switzerland, land of the unsecured wireless internet points.

Captain Boughton would of smacked that biotech upside the head.
Good to hear you arrived safe, sound and relatively free from body cavity searches.

Goodo, nice to hear that out airways are so secure. Make Loren write the next one, and tell her to make sure that it is funny... or else...

"Note to concerned mother's"?
...Note to concerned mother is...?
...Note to concerned mother's (eg) worrying heart...?
...Note to concerned mother (abbrev: of all hilarity travellers)...?

Rest assured, concerned citizen. The parties responsible for the atrocious apostrophising of the sidebar have been found and will be brought to justice and do time in the grammar slammer.
ps. Never trust maths teachers with punctuation.

Yes, it was me. My itchy apostrophe finger has been severely reprimanded.
For the record, I think it is a contraction of "mothering ones" but from now on I will use the more accepted form "motherz".

Thank goodness. You might also considered the lesser known dialectal useages of mot'erz, moth'e'z or the archaic and all but unpronounceable mo'(')e'z. Fo' shizzle this is a tricky one with more glottal stops than a frog with hiccups, but many points can be gained in the hep cat stakes...
