years ago I bought some cheaper brand cheddar once from Iceland

You see, the problem there Tony isn’t the notion of own-branded product lines per se. But merely the fact it was Iceland! :p

I too am going to follow the general consensus and say I don’t think a tv commercial has ever affected a purchase of mine. But that doesn’t mean I don’t find some adverts great to watch, VW are usually very good 😀

Expect to see this old bird on Ice Pilots soon then?

Incredible, and to think at some point in their history around 10% have flown for Southwest!

Their greatest hope of raising the funds lie in outside investment; Russia, Turkey, Mars for all I care. But I can tell you now France and Germany won’t budge on the terms so we’ve got a stalemate, and the country’s 72 hours away from collapse.

He should consider himself lucky he wasn’t given a prison sentence.
Had he remembered the gun as he put his bag on the conveyor belt, he may have been able to organise for it to be stored at the airport until his return. But by letting the bag go through the scanner, you are essentially trying to smuggle a prohibited item onto a passenger plane… which lands you in deep trouble.

The Russians and Chinese didn’t stand a chance, reports are saying Ryanair may be paying as little as 40-50% of the 737s list price. Discounts that high are on par with the list price of the Eastern new comers (who are unlikely to negotiate on price), so Boeing had this one in the bag.

It just goes to show that if Boeing are willing to sell them half price, just how large the mark-up is on the list prices.

It’s interesting Ryanair plan to grow capacity 30% over the next 5 years, where do they imagine this growth will come from? Most of us have come to the realisation Ryanair is often more expensive than the alternatives. I think Ryanair’s growth over the past couple of years has just been from the momentum built up over the last decade, once it subsides they’re screwed. The rate of growth now is nothing like what it was 5 years ago.
