Each year the Frederiksberg Alle Invitation Tournament is held in Jens Toft's flat in Frederiksberg, an enclave in Copenhagen. Jens Brix Christiansen and Bodil Schroder were our hosts for the weekend. Jens is a very knowledgeable person on a wide variety of subjects, ranging from Danish history and Scottish place-names through baseball and mobile phone messaging to all forms of transport. I was pleased to catch him out twice.
Air travel has the supposed advantage that it is quicker.
We got to the airport two hours before departure as instructed. Two people were ahead of me. After ten minutes the one person on duty was still helping the first person and the other one gave up. After another ten minutes my flight was called so I gave up, leaving a queue of fifteen people behind me. At least this is the age of the mobile phone.
