Ive been on a flight EI FRA-DUB when a passenger started smoking in the toilets.

I didnt hear the smoke alarm and because you didnt either doesnt meen they werent working.

Hand luggage restrictions need to be enforced by Ryanairs handling agent in CIA, the cabin crw cant really do anything once the passenger is on board and FR dont gate check bags.

FR have alot of crew from all around Europe and some do have difficult to understand accents hence why they have pre-recorded safety announcements.

The problem with badly stored cabin luggage was picked up on before the plane took off so it wasnt really a problem.

And as Cal900 says Ryanair have one of the best safety records around.

One last thing when you mention that passengers cant understand the safety announcements why have you got that cheeky smile afterwards?
Do you think its funny?

Why should FR gate check bags,what is the point of this,passenegrs go thought security before they go airside andeverything that ou can buy airside is security screened.Every FR passeneger that flys in Europe can buy 10 liters of spirts and what ever perfume and aftershave they want,do you want gate staff,who are not FR staff to check all bags again,It just would not work.

Well that will only work on those who have a driving licence, and who aren’t already banned…

…plus the prisons are full (and those who can’t afford a fine can’t be fined and those who can…well, they can afford it can’t they).

I think the mistake made here is to assume a ‘drink-driver’ is otherwise a completely law abiding driver and to base the deterrent punishment on this assumption (as much of government legislation is).

Yes I can see your point and agree that some of the drink drivers will be the unlicened and uninsured who dont give a thought for there actions and those you will never stop,but what about the ones that do it because they think they wont get caught,like the rep who will have a dinner with a customer and drink a bottle of wine,or the nother who goes out for lunch and then picks up the kids full of Gin and tonic.These people can ussally pay the fines so fine them and ban then,the ones that cant pay make the do community work ,cleaning river or waste land ,helping the old and ill.
There must be a better way do dealing with drink drivers,than we do now.
May be my way would not work ,but its better than what we have now

I think drink driving is appalling and is the worst thing I think you can do in a car,
I have been driving for many years and I can honestly say that I have never driven with any alcohol in me.
I have often thought about it and had many an argument over it and how t should be punished.
These are my thoughts.
The alchol level should be zero,not one drink should be able to be drunk ,If you do and get caught the first time 2 year ban,the second time 10 year ban and prision time and if your daft enought to be caught a thrid time a lifetime ban,I also think that if you are caught drink driving none of this going to court and being able to drive while some shister lawyer trys to get you off,the police should impound the car you are driving then and there and crush it and suspend your licence then and there,ths making the ban start the minute you fail the test.
Now some of you will say this is to stronge and there may be a reson there is alcohol in your system,well I say never,if you want to drive then NO alchol

Would be intrested to know why eBay pulled it.
Would not of thought it broke any eBay rules :confused:

To be fair I’ve only ever seen and heard Rogers with Queen either in video clips or audio tracks, but my point was more that Paul Rogers is a legendary musician in his own right. I don’t think anyone can ever quite replace Freedie Mercury. He was too unique a character and spirit, and let’s face it, would you really want to ‘replace’ him? It would never be quite the same!

Paul

Yes he is a unique character and in his own right a very good musician, but you are right replacing Freddie would just be wrong on so many levels.
The will on ever be one Freddie.

Paul

Why on Earth did you feel the need to say that? What possible relevence could that have in this thread? :confused:

I’ve never been a massive Queen fan but Freddie Mercury certainly was one of the legends in entertainment of the last 20 years, and I’d have loved to have seen him in concert at least once. Ahh well… At least hs replacement (Paul Rogers) is another legend!

Paul

I had the honer of seeing Freddie and Queen at Maine Road many years ago,and it was fantatic,he was a great showman who will never be bettered.
PMN Sorry I have to disagree Paul Rogers is not fit to lace Freddie’s boots,I was not impressed with Paul when I heard him singing Queen classic’s.
