Total Technology Failure

...Only to find Daniel (UK Voice) repeating his annoying “Recalculating, recalculating” as the GPS couldn’t work out how to get to the airport. I rebooted the thing a couple of times and reset all the settings, but for some reason we’d got total failure of the GPS – and unfortunately I had absolutely no idea how to get to the airport form my place – the signs  (when you actually see them) are all to KLIA, and the Low Cost Terminal is not in the same place. 

We drove round the block a few times, watching the Calculation-monitor get up to 99% and then go back to the beginning and Daniel (UK, Voice) start his maniacal “RECALCULATING, RECALCULATING”. It was fucked! Mike suggested driving back to the flat and getting a cab from there, and I was in a state of intense irritation and I blurted out something on the lines that I didn’t even know the way home (we were parked over the road from my place!)

Bollocks! 

Anyway, I managed to find the way home (!) and parked outside the block trying to reset and get the fucking thing working. Mike was trying to hail a cab (with limited success) and I was getting more and more anxious that we were going to be late getting to the airport. I called Charles, but unbelievably he was already at the LCCT dropping off another one of his friends – what shit timing!

Luckily a cab pulled up that was happy to take us and we set off, leaving my car on the road and me with GPC in hand, about to throw it into the oncoming traffic, but instead I took it with me, in the hope that i might be able to get it started on the journey. What a shit time to have a total technology failure. It’s funny though, there were probably a load of options that I didn’t think about: calling Ali, using my iPhone etc.

Anyway we get to the airport just in time (after telling the driver that we were late, and he put his foot down) and after a final coffee, shop for more pants and check in, I gave Mike a hug goodbye and left him to get his plane home, whilst I got a taxi back with the intention of smashing up my GPS for ruining my last day with Mike.
