    Right next to you?
    You don't share anything with this filthy heathen, do you?

    If so, you may have to ask Mr Mac to send over that cream, once he is done with it.

    How did that cream work out, in the end, rash gone?

    I bumped in to an Elvis Presley lookalike convention in a pub in Leeds once. None of them looked remotely like Elvis.

    I got very drunk with them. A marvellous night in a tuliphole of a town.

    Yeah things got very messy in Leeds. In Spain getting drunk is a consequence of going out, I had forgotten that in the UK it is the purpose. Showing up with a serious head start cost me dearly.

    On a scale of 1-10 where would you place taking a spare stool at the police inspection point after passport control and rambling on to the female PC on the other stool upon arrival at LBA?
    Not really, I was only asking for comedy value

    Force 7 - Extremely strong gusts from the north causing trees to fall and transport to be disrupted.

    Not bad, for a school day.

    You could have gained extra points if you had taken 3 drops of Californian purple sunshine, before you boarded, though.

    So I have been told.

    WOW, MF eat your heart out



    Scale of 1-10, please.

    For example:-

    1 = A light breeze
    10 = A full blown hurricane, that gets all other passengers immediately donning oxygen.

    Thanks

    Let us know about Ryan Airs "business offering"
    Well apart from sitting eyeball to eyeball with the cabin crew, kind of like BA J Ying Yang configuration with a stranger only bolt upright and first in line for the scratch cards, there wasn't much to it. Considering the state of inebriation I was in it was a very uncomfortable situation.

    1. Priority Boarding - Never understood the point of this when seating is assigned.
    2. Luggage - Irrelevant to short-haul business travel.
    3. Flexible ticket - All very well but i could have bought 20 normal tickets for the same price and experience.
