You're just trying to find excuses for your cottaging exploits. [/No officer I wasn't really doing a bad George Michael impression. I was after a new laptop]

That's just assinine. How on earth can you leave/forget/misplace a laptop?? I'd like to know how many are company sponsored laptops.

It's easier than you think. Airports in particular can be stressful, noisy places and it's easy to get distracted.

And with the new solid state only laptops the percentage is going to get up... instead of down. Would be nice to get a statistic on cell phones... I guess those are even higher?

None, but came close with my mobile phone a few times. The missus left her laptop in a loo once but luckily it was still there 5 mins later.

Too bad. That *might* have gotten you some back door action...


Not likely, but maybe.

Are you kidding?

A laptop is what, £2,000?

For that, Wingy gets a brief handshake.

I just mean that maybe she would feel bad about being so stupid and give in to him.

Sit down to eat - people leave them all the time. Or go to lost luggage and make your claim. When they show you a couple bags, keep telling them its not the right one. They'll take you into the room with all the luggage because they're burdened with too much lost luggage.

Have your pick and walk away... because if it doesn't get claimed as lost within 24-48, depending on the airport, they take it home, sell it, or throw it away.

What with all the corpses being ferried back and forth between gates for transport and such.
