    Went to see 'the dark knight' awesome movie so many twists, best movie I've seen this year.

    You'd think flying down there 2 times a day was a little over the top then. I reckon the route is going to get real strong in the future. Flybe knocked BA out of Southampton, my original choice, but the £320 return flight put me off against the £32 return to Bournemouth.

    I thought that people only went there to retire. One-way only is required.
    Ja, return flight. Lot of opportunities in area.

    I think I understand that. So I should charge my client £50 on Monday £800 Tuesday to Thursday £80 on Friday. Any work after 6pm is off peak and is charged a £2.


    If I work fork Ryanair; I should charge £2, plus extra £200 if they want me to use my brain plus Taxes £180, plus insurance £30.

    It's all connected with supply and demand

    10 years ago yes. these days it seems to be quite a party venue. I read it somewhere - obviously I am far too old for partying.

    started a topic Odeon v Ryanair

    Odeon v Ryanair

    I bought 2 tickets for the odeon tonight costing £16:50

    Just before hand I bought a return flight to Bournemouth from Edinburgh costing £2 flights + £28 in taxes = £30

    I so would have failed economics at school if I'd taken it...
