I have become addicted to this you tube live feed of flights landing at London Heathrow AIBU that me and the kids have ‘wasted’ the morning watching it or should I have dragged them out for some fresh air.

I can't stop watching. Trying to do some work on my second monitor but too invested in the planes haha

TibetanTerrah · 18/02/2022 13:50

I'm glued to it too. Haven't got anything done!!

Sideorderofchips · 18/02/2022 13:50

Me and teenager are far too invested in this

The guy doing it is brilliant

AnneLovesGilbert · 18/02/2022 13:51

Depending on where you live I’d skip fresh air today. It’s absolutely mental here, I popped out to put something in the bin and nearly got knocked over.

God do not go outside

LilacPaisley · 18/02/2022 13:53

Oh dear. I think it's the new pandemic. Me too.

ZeusandClio · 18/02/2022 13:54

It's fantastic! Especially when a plane comes in from Vienna! 🎶🤣 And the 'orses going nuts.

Fuckitydoodah · 18/02/2022 13:54

I knew it would be this. I think half the country have been watching. The guy's commentary is brilliant. I bet he's inundated with TV interview requests this afternoon.

StormyWindow · 18/02/2022 13:56

Nope, I'm hooked too, keep closing it and promising myself I won't reopen til I've done some work but 5 minutes later I'm watching it again. I have no self control Smile

FourChimneys · 18/02/2022 13:59

DH never gets caught up in the latest Internet thing but was glued to this for ages earlier.

Total admiration for the pilots, they must have nerves of steel.

Tigersonvaseline · 18/02/2022 14:14

I wish I had known this was on!!!

Newnamefor2022 · 18/02/2022 14:21

I am SO glad I'm not a passenger today! Wonderful work by those pilots.

Sideorderofchips · 18/02/2022 14:24

So glad I'm not in the plane

Plus the horses steal the show licking his car

Munchyseeds · 18/02/2022 14:32

Compulsive watching from the living room!

TrivialSoul · 18/02/2022 14:36

I'm loving it!

noideaboutanything · 18/02/2022 14:39

I’ve literally done nothing else all day!

Sideorderofchips · 18/02/2022 14:39

Bugger anyone else's not working now?

Skyeisaballerina1 · 18/02/2022 14:50

Still working here, although he said they are meant to change run ways at 3 and he will be going off air………

I've loved it all.
Watching them arriving in the distance, checking on Flightradar24 to see what they are.

Bugger all else to do.

Tractordiggerdump · 18/02/2022 15:00

Everyone is watching it. He is trending on Twitter 😂

Cissyandflora · 18/02/2022 15:02

I’m going to have to have a watch of this now!
Also- I’m in London. It doesn’t seem particularly stormy. I’m going to go to the shops later I think.

OutsideVoice · 18/02/2022 15:04

Me too, it’s brilliant!
I don’t know who he is, but I love that he obviously knows loads about planes and manages to get information across so clearly.

MrsFezziwig · 18/02/2022 15:09

Hope you’ve been following the threads on Mumsnet too!

ParrotsAteThemAll · 18/02/2022 15:17
