    I've got no sympathy. If other airlines are not available, then you really ought to have driven.

    I think I cud ave been mis-sold a Ryanair flight.
    3 of us were going to somewhere foreign but the other 2 run off wiv each udder (god riddance). anyway can i take sumwun else if the ly about there name and can i take 2300kg of cabin bags and 5 bottles frum the shop in the airport if so wich is the best pre-paid card to use, is it the wun from the Sun.
    reply quick befur the remoove my post please.

    darren.


    I presume you didn't take out travel insurance.
    I don't blame you, Darren, because I have very strong views on the whole concept of rip-off travel insurance companies.
    But that's not the sort of campaigning area that this forum likes to stray into.
    However, this might be construed by the powers that be as taking this post off-topic and anyway humour is not really their strong point.
    I'll set you a small test - can you ever remember an edition of the MSE newsletter which didn't mention Ryanair in the cheap flights section ?
    As if there isn't a single person left in Britain who doesn't know Ryanair do cheap flights.

    Oh I say Bob., this is an awfully good thread. Myself and other half (an MP for somewhere in South East England..can't tell you where...haw haw) are looking to downsize from our usual Tuscan holiday and get amongst the "real folk" of Britain. You sound just the sort of ordinary 'working' class of person we want to engage with (note the inverted commas). Should we be going to Benidorm or Magaluf do you think? We're all for having a jolly time but, obviously, with the recession and all that business, don't want to spend more than £600 each way for a cheap flight. Have to be seen to be doing our bit, don't-you-know. We shall be taking our own Chateau de Ponce wine obviously, (beer gives Jeremy an awful hangover). Will this be allowed in our hand luggage, or shall we crate it up for the hold do you think? Jezza (he's awfully modern) is proposing to send it separately by private jet, must say that would be most convenient.
    I look forward to corresponding with you...er..Bob.
    Normal people worry me.

    I'd be most appy to PM you and tell you exactly where to go
    and exactly where to put your wine, always please to help those
    oo pay for me Giro. We never made it far as viva Espania cos the cortina
    dyed in France and I'm waitin for the winter fuel allowance to get it fixed.
    Your best off takin your own booze cos the wine ere in France is crap
    no Blue Nun or nufing like it, we end up getting tinnies of strong beer from Lidl
    they're 47 centimes a can so still not too much dosh and you get well pi**ed.
    Just a thought , wife's away for the weekend how does a romantic
    couple of days sleepin under the stars sound to you (I've got a sun roof!)
    You won't have to worry about that old boiler then.

    ooh you're dead posh you with yer blue nun - cant stand snobs - i bet you use a mug when you drink it unall. yung un's just been banged up for not going to school ( they wanted to send me away but i said once they reach 7 they know wot they're doing) so i'm available for a singles holiday. Anywhere really but I don't want to have to leave the burger bar really so all inclusive including a mobility scooter would be great if you know anywhere

    I'll ask around me mates I've got strees now, her's just called from London, she can't fly back after weekend cos she didn't no-ow to spell her name on the bookin so she's havin to hitch, might not be back for a couple of weeks, I'm going to run out of clean bl**dy dishes. I don't understand it, no problems on the way out she even booked the Lounge so she don't have to sit with the riff raff (or risk bumping into that c*w from the Jobcentre)
    As for Blue Nun, real men just push cork in and drink out of bottle.
