00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 5: You go on holidays with a friend and they meet

24
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 5: someone and then you have to hang with that bloke's.

25
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: Friends while the two of them were off and out.

26
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: It's so boring.

27
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: If this has happened to year before thirteen twenty fourteen,

28
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: where you've gone away on a holiday with a friend

29
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: and they've fallen in love and ruined your trip. Because

30
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 3: Vicky writes this story, she's from the States. She's been

31
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: with her husband for forty years now.

32
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: But Vicky and Sandra best friends traveling from Washington to

33
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: London for the very first time. Have you gon Yeah,

34
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 2: oh yeah, thank you very much.

35
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: Now, the friends had stand by tickets.

36
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 2: Sarah, this is forty years ago on World Airways. Never

37
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: heard of it.

38
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 3: But when they got there, they had no idea what

39
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: standby was. So they wracked up and they were told

40
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: it's a pretty full flight. I don't know if you're

41
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: going to get on. I was crying their eyes out

42
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: because they're like, oh my gosh, well this is ruined.

43
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 2: We're not even going to get to go last minute.

44
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 3: Both girls were told you've both got a ticket, but

45
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: obviously they weren't sitting with each other on the flight.

46
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: They were sobbing because they thought they weren't going to

47
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: get on. They walk onto this flight, they walk all

48
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: the way down to the end of the plane and

49
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: they realize, I can't believe it, we're sitting. We're actually

50
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: sitting next to each other. Great, so in tile of three,

51
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: this is awesome. The trips getting off to a great start.

52
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: They both sit down, Vicky Sandra. They're laughing away and

53
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: then Vicky introduces herself to Graham, who's sitting next.

54
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: To her in the third seat. All I Graham eyes lock.

55
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Meant to be.

56
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: They fall in love straight away in flight Love. They

57
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: get off at London and Sandra's shattered because she doesn't

58
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: see Vicky again, because Vicky's off with Graham for the

59
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: whole trip, the.

60
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 4: Trip of a lifetime, planned by two best friends and girls.

61
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: Ready, what do you do to attack?

62
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 5: Well, you can't deny real love. You have an interest,

63
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 5: so you'd be happy for your friend. But suddenly you're

64
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 5: doing London alone and it's no fun going rubbing on

65
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 5: your own.

66
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 4: She should have wanted the friendship. And so this is

67
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 4: a trip Ron Graham, I really like you and this

68
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 4: is this is awesome. When we need to continue this,

69
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: why don't you catch up with us in a few days.

70
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: We can maybe all go out for drink or some thing.

71
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 4: You're not ditching this from the wombat.

72
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: That's from the think I can take your mass from

73
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: the wombat. Wombats come in with his advice.

74
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 4: If you've met Graham and you haven't even landed on

75
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 4: this trip of a lifetime. Imagine what who are you

76
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 4: going to meet.

77
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: When you get to London or Washington wherever you're going.

78
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: I agree, Vicky has to be a pair of scales here.

79
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: She used to give Graham a bit of time, a

80
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: bit of time open your eyes totally. But see that's

81
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: just shatting. You're like your trip. This is our one

82
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: trip away to London, the first time we've been to

83
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: the UK, and she's off. Graham was a redhead as well,

84
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: so she was a bit complex, a bit Sandra going,

85
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: what is she doing?

86
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 4: Too long in the army?

87
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: Susanne's giving us a call from more Bank. Your friend

88
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: found love on the trip, sus.

89
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I had a great time on my trip.

90
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: So you were the one?

91
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 6: Oh gosh, no I had. I went away with a

92
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 6: girlfriend from school and it was our first trip away

93
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 6: over to Bali, you know, after school. And she found

94
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 6: a guy the second night in and took him back

95
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 6: to our hotel room and I got to sleep on

96
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 6: the veranda while she had the room.

97
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 4: Are you still friends now?

98
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 6: Oh god, no, I haven't seen her for thirty two.

99
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: Years or so. You know.

100
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 4: The hard thing is too. When you're sleeping on a

101
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: veranda like that is you can probably hear a few

102
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 4: noises and things.

103
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 6: Susan, Well, when you're seeing the veranda in the middle

104
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 6: of Bali and Kuda Beach and like people are walking

105
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 6: past and they're looking at you, what the hell's going on?

106
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: Remember?

107
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 3: Alice told us the story that our friend Allie when

108
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 3: she went to Bari and she got back with her

109
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: boyfriend Sarah, and they said, well, let's try to make

110
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 3: it work again and let's go away together.

111
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: This trip should fix it. First couple of days were

112
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: a little bit rocky and they had a bit of

113
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: an argument and he said, well, I'm going to go

114
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: out and I'm going to have a few drinks and

115
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: she said, well, I'm just taking it easy. I'll just

116
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 2: be here waiting for you. So she's asleep. She wakes

117
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: up at two in the morning. He's not home yet.

118
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: She's going, oh god, where is he? Then all of

119
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: a sudden, three o'clock in the morning, so she opens

120
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: up the door and there he is with a girl

121
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: and he asks her, a you kidding? Can you go

122
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: and sleep somewhere else? Yeah?

123
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 6: Tell me?

124
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 4: She didn't, man says he says to the girl who's

125
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 4: just brought home. Don't worry, it's my sister.

126
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: Oh, come on you you would expose him on the

127
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: spot straight away, Water, that's my boyfriend, and both of

128
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: you get out.

129
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 6: No.

130
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: She actually went along with that. No, So that was

131
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: the moment I knew he moved to Thailand, that it

132
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 3: was all over.

133
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: You can still know that and sleep in the bed

134
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: that you paid for in the hotel you're in.

135
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,960
