PLEASE EXCUSE THE FAIL LINK

Due to fly home Sunday.

They're talking about closing access by air, sea and road.

It says on the photo as of midnight last night no one can leave??

I can't find a conclusive report. An official one I mean rather than tabloid reports

Sending you strength. You are doing the right thing.

StSaulOfSnacks · 14/03/2020 13:22

Don't link the previous thread. OP name changed for a reason.

rrg1 · 14/03/2020 13:27

OP Flight LS584 departed late at 13.06h, so if he is on it you are likely to be getting him back pretty soon!

StSaulOfSnacks · 14/03/2020 13:32

Twatface is flying back tomorrow not today.

bemoreeverything · 14/03/2020 13:34

@rrg1

LS584 is an Alicante departure. This guy is over 5 hours away in Barcelona, and didn't want to travel today so it's extremely unlikely he is on that plane even if it has departed (I can't get confirmation)

Butterymuffin · 14/03/2020 13:35

OP had said his flight was tomorrow and he'd insisted he would just get on that and all would be fine. So less likely to be on the 13.06 flight. Frankly I hope more deserving people are on it.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 14/03/2020 13:38

A friends ex is boarding to go to Spain now. Idiot.

ThisSistineWontScreamAtItself · 14/03/2020 13:39

My god he really is an absolute twat.

Agree with a PP about feeling proud of you even though I don't know you!

At least your kids have one brilliant parent keeping them safe, happy and healthy as possible.

He is such a dickhead. Assuming he can't access any money of yours, I would feel a bit vindicated he's stuck out there to be honest.

Away from you and the kids, facing the consequences of his actions!

Like you say, if he needs to pay for accommodation and extra flights then he can ask for help from the friends he couldn't bear to miss out on a holiday with.

I'm so glad you're done with him! Thanks

Bulbosaur · 14/03/2020 14:03

He's not flying today. Its tomorrow night.

What an idiot. I’m sorry, Op. you’re better off rid of him.

IndieTara · 14/03/2020 14:09

You have your priorities right OP

Bluetrews25 · 14/03/2020 14:10

Yes, dear sir, please do come home from a country where cases have rocketed overnight, we cannot wait to have you and whatever viruses you are carrying back in the country. You will be welcomed with open arms.
Not.
If they are stopping flights because there is so much corona, then people should only be brought back in a quarantined way.

OP Flowers. Onwards and upwards.

LesLavandes · 14/03/2020 14:13

He may not get a flight now! He is being stupid not to try to leave today.

ineedaholidaynow · 14/03/2020 14:15

If he manages to get back to this country, will he be able to get into your house?

Bulbosaur · 14/03/2020 14:26

I mean he has keys, yeah. But I won't let him in

OP posts:
HannaYeah · 14/03/2020 14:27

I’m so unhealthy unblocked you and acted like it was all no big deal?

CormoranStrike · 14/03/2020 14:31

@bemoreeverything sorry, I was then not able to get to my phone for a few hours. My really was truly astonishment.

How quickly this situation is evolving that that happened mid flight

HannaYeah · 14/03/2020 14:47

Autocorrect fail. So he unblocked you then acted normal and asked for help?

whatareyoucooking · 14/03/2020 14:53

Ah OP. I'm just here to add to the chorus of 'you're doing the right thing'.

What a nugget.

Butterymuffin · 14/03/2020 15:09

Actually, I would unblock him for the lolz of him messaging tomorrow to say his flight's been cancelled (Shock!!!) and the inevitable request for help, probably in the form of money for a hotel room. Then I'd block him again. Possibly after sending a smiley face.

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 14/03/2020 15:18

Thank god he is the Original Prick and there aren't two of them about (sorry for you though @Bulbosaur).

It's good for you that he has confirmed he really is a total prick you were right.

CrimsonCattery · 14/03/2020 15:18

Hahaha sending a Smile to any requests for help would be brilliant. I also would like to hear about his downfall.

HOWEVER... OP probably doesn't want the stress of reading his begging (and possibly abusive) messages so would be totally justified in keeping him blocked.

Mummyoflittledragon · 14/03/2020 16:56

He has keys? Change the locks maybe...

Helenj1977 · 14/03/2020 17:14

He's a man child. If someone had that little respect for me they'd be gone.

I'm with a newish dp and it's so strange being with an adult 😂 You'll find someone who will make you realise how right you were to get rid x

HappyReading · 14/03/2020 17:28

Well done OP! What an absolute prick, good riddance.
