Never seen it Nigel - great
Loved the ad too!!

We are in a bit of a hostage situation here in the West of Ireland - they hold the prime position in Shannon - don't fly with them a nd it's a night's stop in Dublin or Cork
They provided us with one of our worst experiences when we visited Barcelona some time ago.

We turned up at Barcelona airport at 9 am for our return journey in time to be informed that our flight was delayed indefinitely
We sat in baking heat for a couple of hours until a young man with a laptop with a link to the Internet circulated the crowd telling us that it had come on the grapevine that they had 'sold' our plane to football supporters going to an International in Germany
The Airport staff (Ryanair has no representatives at airports) were unable to or refused to confirm this
We sat for another two hours until a member of the staff came around and handed out €5 vouchers for refreshment (it bought little more than a coffee and a Kit Kat

By seven o'clock the natives were getting restless - this exploded into loud chanting protests when we were asked to move to another gate as a plane from Bristol was due to land, turn around and take off again from this one
The Airport staff threatened to have security evict us from the airport - this included the numerous mothers carrying babies
The staff told us that or plane had a cracked window and had been worked on for most of the day - we could see from or view of the runway that no work had ever taken place
A couple of hours later we finally got a plane and landed in Shannon around eleven

We drove home with no problem - many of the other passengers were not so lucky - they had missed connecting flights and buses to Galway and Limerick had long stopped running, also the airport restaurants and cafes and bar were closed, so quite a few were faced with a night sleeping in nor very comfortable plastic airport seats, including some of the mothers with children in arms
We received no apology, or explanation from Ryanair - I doubt if anybody else did.

Michael O'Leary is the International Donald Trump of Air travel - fuck him with the blunt end of a rag-mans rusty trumpet
I have little doubt that he is a keen Trump supporter - why wouldn't he be?
