Dear Mr Air Thank you very much for allowing me to book again on your airline despite the little incident on my last excursion, I hope the boy wasn't permanently damaged. I wanted to ask your opinion on a small matter. I have recently developed a whole new set of fears, chiefly around flying, airports, sitting next to people, tannoy announcements and other countries and wondered whether you felt this might jeopardise my enjoyment of a planned holiday in June, or the wellbeing/mental stability/clothes of fellow travellers. It might help if I explained further; once the fear has set in, which is normally somewhere between waking up and getting out of bed, the first noticeable symptoms are, a slight increase in heart rate, a vague itching sensation at the point between elbow and armpit, and complete, painful and humiliating loss of sphincter control. As the symptoms develop beyond what, may I suggest, are mundane and fairly common occurrences I have to admit it becomes harder to blend into normal society or carry out everyday tasks. By around 2pm I usually find myself fighting the overwhelming urge to eat copious amounts of steel - in my fevered state I am convinced that only by devouring at least 2kilos of hard steel will I be at peace, so far this has resulted in few fatalities but I did badly scrape my face when my jaw rebelled, locking down on a door handle attached to the rapidly accelerating 8.25 Connex Express service to Balham. By early evening nothing less than combinations of complete nudity and electrical current will satisfy my needs...I will refrain from detailing specific activities at this point but can assure you that they combined both danger and stupidity of the highest order. Given the brief outline above, I wondered whether you had any views on the advisability of going ahead with my June booking? I remain Edmund Ripsnortle
