I once spent the night in Luton airport on the way to watch a Madrid game.
We arrived at 10.30. The bar had guinness which was dispensed into a glass with the push of a button.
The bar closed at 11.
Verge of tears.

1st world?
Luton Airport?
I once had a business class flight delayed, so I only got to spend 30 minutes in the Lufthansa business class lounge instead of 2 hours. Many a wheat beer I had wanted to drink

Was at Manchester airport about 13 years ago, waiting for an early morning flight to Prague for a stag do.
We were collared by a girl promoting a new 'Bacardi Bar' that had just opened. It was the opening day and all bacardi alcopops were free for the first 2 hours! 7.30 in the morning. There were about 14 of us altogether drinking for fun. We complained that the alcopops were making us a bit sickly cos they were so sweet, so the bar staff cracked open the spirit bottles and let us have those for free.
Everyone pretty sh*tfaced on the plane and for the majority of the journey there was just one long line of us queueing for the toilet.
I drove past Luton once. I like Prague.
the brutality on here.
OP glad you got your passport sorted but seriously this was not the place to fish for sympathy lol

Drinks and passports don't mix. Pretty obvious really. If you get out of your face, prepare to face consequences of it. My mate was on the brink of being kicked out of Canada as we arrived due to having a former driving ban against his name. He was led away and left in isolation for an hour or so with little explanation to him or us. He was interviewed and told he would be on the next flight out, he had to plead a case of compassion to be allowed to stay. They brought it, charged him 300 quid and he got to stay.
So you weren't hugely sympathetic towards depression until YOU lost your passport?
You sound like am absolute to33er and if this was the number one worst experience of your life and you start drying you've got some shiyte times ahead mate. Sort it out.
A beautiful story that warmed the cockles of my erse.
MY advice - don't get hammered. You deserved all the hassled you got. ALL YOUR FAULT and could so easily been avoided with just a little common sense.

Better off going down the tubes.
As soon as I realised you started your article with the word "So" I immediately thought "The Apprentice"
You'll be calling Burgers "Patties" next
When I was a teenager I decided I wanted to get away from everything for a while so I gathered every penny I had and decided I would visit a few countries in Eastern Europe where I knew it was cheap. Russia was my last stop and on the way home I had to fly into Latvia and switch airlines to then fly into Dublin.
I got to the airport in Riga and went to walk through to collect my bag and then check in with the airline, think it was Air Baltic. Anyway I was met with this giant Latvian guy, who said in crap English, " you go there" whilst pointing to another door. I tried to explain to him that I had to go to the exit as I had to collect my bag and then re-enter. He couldn't understand and kept repeating no you go there. So I thought no problem I'll use the little Russian I know, he didn't speak Russian. I've never met before then or after a Latvian who didn't speak Russian but such was my luck that day. Anyway I finally agreed thinking he must know what he's talking about. Bad mistake. I tried to get through the next gate and they said I didn't have a connecting flight so can t go through, they didn't understand when I tried to explain. I was stuck in limbo, in a lounge I couldn't leave. So I got annoyed, went to the bar, got some courage and went back to give them a piece of my mind. Same result. I repeated these steps and by the fifth attempt I was wasted. The seventh hour passed. I attempted again at which point they wouldn't even look at me. I finally found somebody working in an office and he spoke English!
He brought me down, explained to the giant idiot who sent me through the wrong door and I was back on track. I had spent every penny I had left in the bar beforehand but £10 left in my account for the bus from Dublin to Belfast.
Several hours later I arrived into Dublin, exhausted from all the flying and crap I went through in Riga and alcohol had wore off leaving me groggy with a banging headache. I went to the cash machine to lift the €10 in my account knowing the £10 I had left would cover it. The ATM only gave out a minimum of €20. I searched my pockets and found a couple of quid. On the phone to everybody with no success. I finally got through to my mother after four hours stuck in the airport. She would wait for me in Belfast of I explained to the bus driver that I had no money but would pay at the other end. He said no chance! So I went back to the airport, lay on a seat and thought, well that's it, I may as well have a kip here. I couldn't sleep due to the worry despite going over 24 hours without any. I tried repeatedly to get a bus driver to allow me to pay at the other end, all said no chance. I finally got one who reluctantly accepted, warning me that I better be telling the truth. I got to Belfast and my mother wasn't there! He screamed at me to get off and he knew I was lying. So I got in a taxi, at which point the bus driver went to the window of the taxi and told the driver I had no money. I got kicked out. Found another around the corner, got to my mother's, where my sister was and she paid the taxi. Said my mother had just left in a taxi to pick me up.
I was never so quick to scrape money together to get away from everything after that experience. I think from the moment I left for home until I got home (in fact I didn't get home as I was leaving 50 miles from Belfast at the time) was around 40 hours without any sleep.
Stuck in the sun ffs.
