    I know I speak on behalf of the whole MSE community when I say that we feel truly blessed to have you walking amongst us and taking time out from your studies to regale us with your stories ..... Flyertalks loss has most certainly been MSE's gain.

    When looking for clarity where there is doubt it is always so very reassuring to know that I can take direction from yourself accepting the opinions you present as fact to be Gospel, thus enabling me to ignore the plethora of other objective evidence to the contrary that is provided by other less worthy MSE users.

    Thank you. :D

    He reminds me of that man on the prog about TripAdvisor - he was a bit of a know it all too?
  • Ah, there is even a thread about it!

    I wish I had as much spare time as you Tojo Raph - Genuinely.

    You are beyond obsessive, and even someone with as limited intelligence as yourself can surely see the programme was heavily edited and that infact stu.bec wrote that he loved the Eltermere.

    Going through his past reviews (of which there are over a hundred so you must really have some time on your hands) and stalking his facebook is just creepy.

    Get over it and him :D

    Could Mr Wang be talking about himself?

    It's a funny thing, when writing that I thought of you.

    A quick look over some your posts makes it obvious. You have probably taken a flight from the UK, changed in AMS and then flown to the US. It's pretty much the extent of your knowledge and really the only times you answer with seemingly any experience is regarding AMS or the US.

    You're like one of those people that takes a Ryanair flight once to Barcelona and then instantly knows everything about both the airline and the country. Yes you have your little clique that hang off your every word polishing your balls but the reality for all of us that actually do travel, and continue to travel - we see you know nothing. The bulk of what you write is just regurgitated hash from a travel guide, hearsay or newspaper, it sticks out a mile.
    So let me give you some valuable advice, the US is amazing, i agree, actually I am headed there this year, and AMS is probably my favourite airport to transfer through in the world but doing that journey, that route, visiting the US, it does not mean you know everything about the world, you don't. It's plain to see and there is no shame in having limited knowledge of travel, there are simply a fortunate few like myself who have the ability to travel the world. That doesn't make me any better than anyone else, it just means I am fortunate. And off the back of that I offer advice, advice based on experience.

    There really is no need for such bitter resentment.

    I don't spend all my life travelling btw, just fortunate enough to do it regularly. Send me your email, I'll happily forward you some boarding passes from the previous Ryanair flights and a link for my blog....which shows, and details travel all over the globe - with pictures :D

    I am one of the few people on this forum that does, and can advise with relevant experience to back it up.

    I guess everyone else got it.

    But just for you - you fly into a city, then know everything about the country...... Your common sense is obviously as limited as your travels.

    I hear in Barcelona you don't need to bother with priority boarding if flyig with Ryanair - as long as you wear a silly hat you will get to the front of the queue.

    I usually do because .....

    a) The cost isn't of great importance to me**
    b) I really can't put up with the "RUN AROUND NOW" style of boarding

    ** I'm in the firing line for redundancy, so this attitude may have to be worked on somewhat :)
