Day trippers, there's no such thing as a hard day's flight

Back when I was young and foolish, I occasionally did something really daft like fly to London for the weekend for the Oxford vs Cambridge varsity rugby match at Twickenham, or England vs Ireland.

It was the height of folly: leave Hong Kong on Friday night, having rushed to Kai Tak airport from work; try to sleep all the way, fired by red wine; arrive at dawn, and hit the ground running (on adrenalin).
