I have one friend who is making the journey back from Barca via train and any other route possible. Though I have another mate stuck in India at the moment...

My son and his wife have tickets to travel to Thailand next Saturday.  I just hope they don't get stuck out there leaving us to look after the baby for the next ten years!

Yes, poor little sod.
