Limbo isn't reserved for the afterlife

[germanos]

or: the craziest story ever told...

Today I came across this story of a man who lived in the departure lounge of Terminal One in Charles de Gaulle Airport from 8 August 1988 until July 2006 because of legal issues.

It's a ****ed up world but this is top-ranked insanity.

You won't hear me complaining about delays anymore.

Something similar happened to Tom Hanks.

I thought it was Tom Hanks?

[Uncle Sparky]

No. You're thinking of Chicago real estate agent Tom Hanks...

Of course limbo isn't reserved solely for the afterlife...over 2 million people live in Birmingham after all

The people of London have it worse, they are stuck inside the circle of hell known as the M25.

I for one don't give a pair of foetid dingo's kidneys about the M25. I live near central London, so never use the damned thing. It's only you sub sub-urban home counties types that have to worry about it.

I'm disappointed I missed him when I went through de Gaulle back in 02.

It's quicker for me to get to the continent, or to Gatwick airport by car/taxi without having to take the M25. It's only when I want to drive north of the river that I have to take that motorway.
