on a completely different tack,. . . . .

 

I was really annoyed at the attiude of Ryanair when they announced that there were to be no more forward booking of seats on their flights. ! !

 

So when I got to the airport, I got there early and bagged myself a seat at the front ( it's a lot easier to deplane from the front when you get to where you're going )

 

Then,. . .wouldn't you know it . .,. . .some bloke comes along and says "You're in MY seat mate". . . . Well, as you can imagine, . . .I argued with him for about ten minutes and in the end he gave up and said something strange as he stormed out,. . . .

 

He said . . . ".OK,. . . . . . . YOU bloody well fly it then. . . ."

Sex, beer and flying. I think you've nailed the essentials of life in those two jokes Phil!

Having flown with Ryanair I can believe it. they get so excited when they arrive safely that there is a bugle call over the speakers.

Wonder if they've started charging to use the loo yet? I'll be booking them soon for a flight from Nimes - Luton in October, they charge between 15 - 45 euro extra per suitcase.

Can't see your reply Phil - did you have any advice about Ryanair?

Take plenty of money with you, a sandwich for the flight and your own toilet roll.

Sorry for the delay Marty. . . .My work computer is playing silly buggers and it won't display the correct Recfllying "Reply" page for some reason, ANYWAY. . . I've only heard a couple of things about Ryanair recently, . . .one is that Leary seems to have given up on his much vaunted idea of having passengers standing up in "StandBelt" rigs, to cram more bodies onto his flights,. . .somehting about health and safety I believe.

 

The other is that he has been reported as saying that his company employees need to be "Nicer" to the passengers and and not act like A55holes when queries arise. . . . .

 

plretty average stuff really. For an unpopular company, the DO seem to carry a lot of people though. . . . . . I'd rather go by rail personally !

So would I, really. Time is the difference. 55 minutes by plane, 7.5 hours by TGV. When travelling with 3 small children the choice is fairly clear...
