    I think Ryanair rocks…

    And not just ‘cos I’m contracted to work for them either… I mean – that part is shit…I’m a duty passenger so I have to wait for everyone to check in before I know for certain I have a seat… The staff are awesome (although I’ve never met one of the Ryanair Calendar girls…) – for short haul flights, they do their job very well… So why does everyone diss Ryanair? I give you this. I’m sorry, but to me the key words in this article are “Ryanair apologised for the disruption. It arranged free ferry transfers to Lanzarote and […]

    Happy days

    Well, I’m happy 🙂 No, I’m VERY happy 🙂 Got a new woman in my life and it’s going very well…very well indeed. I was supposed to be going onto a 3 day week at work, but it seems that’s just a smokescreen of some kind – we need to downsize in our workshop and having the guys all thinking my hours have been reduced has them all wondering if their jobs are safe. On the plus side, this should mean productivity is up – time will tell. Anyway, Kathy’s away for the week down in Cornwall (now THAT’D be […]
