I did it and got it printed at the library on 2 A4 sheets of paper at a cost of £1.60 which I thought was a bit steep considering how cheap inks are now. Oh well, it's done now thanks.

wow, all of £1.60 to allow you to fly.

I'm glad that I'm not you.

Seems a little steep for two pages, though I'm not sure printer ink is particularly cheap these days. But of course it's not just the ink and paper but the provision of a working printer and a PC connected to it, all in the context of funding for public libraries having been cut significantly over the past few years.

Well after flying with them to Brussels and back the experience was good. Much better than expected. Interestingly I did not see them check anyone's bag size once and some people were clearly over the sizes by some considerable amount, especially the smaller bags. Nobody was made to put their carry on bags in the hold and both trips were full. Getting out of Manchester was brilliant. Coming back from Brussles was pretty painful because they kept us waiting and waiting and we were quite delayed. Still well worth the money though. The irony was that the car park and shuttle bus were the most expensive. Would I go again ? Yes.

Just received an email from Ryanair telling me the free seat allocation rules have changed.
Used to be between 7 days & 2 hours before your flight it is now 4 days & 2 hours.

A tip for next time, don't print it in colour and you'll pay less. Not as pretty but acceptable to the airlines and inexpensive which clearly matters to you.
