I know what you mean there.
But I think the gravel traps caused more problems…..on say a simple overspill, a car returns to track with gravel all over the sticky tyres, which then pings off into a £250 million air intake! Or a visor.

Not having a go at you – your post simply provided the phrase around which I constructed my post…

Just making the point that there are, like in every company, some pretty d*mned helpful people working for FR as well and that there are many working for ‘other airlines’ who could not give two sh*ts. To single out Ryanair as disreputable is an adjective too far for me.

Your post is actually the first ever, and I mean ever, good word I have heard about RyanAir.
That’s in 4 or 5 forums, and general discussion at airports or at work. Newspapers too, but they don’t count as they are full-o-ship.
Most people are satisfied at the price but at a great many other sacrifices.
Luckily for you, your family is close to one of the aerodromes he uses.

Soppy mood.

“Life as we know it”

Predictable love story. Boy fancies girl, girl hates boy. Forced together to look after a baby – parents killed in crash. Yawning already?
Eventually fall in love and live happily ever after. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Just a platform to put a handsome bloke and a stunningly beautiful woman on the big screen. How they panned it out for nearly 2 hours I’ll not understand.

No arguing about Emmet.
Torquay claims Grockle due to a film, in 1962.

My old fella picked Grockle up from BlackPoo, in the late 40’s after he came home from the War. We heard it as kids and asked him what he was talking about, he explained that in BlackPoo, that’s what they call visitors.

Who cares? I’m not from either place LoL.

No, we can’t forget Roland from that terrible weekend.
But he wasn’t 1/10th the driver Ayrton was.

Yes, HANS, plus a myriad of car improvements make it safer. But, as I said in my 1st post in the thread, the rule changes force the designers into new ideas and IMO prevent it from becoming stale.
“If” there was a HANS device, and/or a car of today’s safety standard, Ayrton and Roland and lots of others could have survived their crashes. It’s OK when the danger makes it more exciting, but not at the expense of such greats.

I hear and use some of these daily: –
Nammet – lunch (derived from “noon meat”)
Gurt – Great (as in size – gurt big)
Mallyshag – caterpiller – especially a hairy one
Grockle – tourist
Grockle can – coach full of tourists
Nipper – a young male
Overner – Mainlander
Caulkhead – 4th generation Islander.
Somewhen – Sometime, ie I’ll do that somewhen or other.
Gallybagger – Scarecrow
Birds nests – Doughnuts
The Mainland – England. Also called North Island.

Spunk. As in `He’s pretty spunky`.

Ah, but the American’s got this correct. Our slang version, not used for 20 years now was a loose link to manliness.

Ask Daz what a ‘cludgie’ is. I’ve been married to my mad jock for near on 31 years and even now I occasionally have to ask for a translation of something she said. Why can’t the heathens up there speak proper English for a change?

A Cludgie is a Bog. More accurately, the outside Bogs found in most of Glasgow.
These days acceptable use is for any Bog.

For Americans, Bog = Toilet, the actual toilet, not the “Washroom”.
