First Class upgrade for a Scottish accent?

Four days left at Amazon and in order to avoid packing I'm refusing to accept that by this time Saturday I'll be half way back to Scotland. As I've mentioned before sorry for the lack of photos but If you know me well enough you'll know that my netbook doesn't take instructions too...
