So, I forgot to mention part of my adventures Friday - in my rush and worry about my bags, I managed to leave my brother's Christmas present, the vinyl single of Franz Ferdinand's 'The Fallen' on the 424 bus. I waited for the next couple of buses (the 424 is the airport, and runs a short loop) with no luck. Well, having left things on buses and trains in the past, to have them disappear into oblivion within fifteen minutes, I had resigned myself to never seeing the record again.

Still, I called Translink's Lost Property office today just in case, and miraculously, someone had turned it in. The woman on the phone took down my name and number, and said they'd hold it until January 15th. My faith in humanity has been restored.
