Topical...for a change Spare a thought for poor old Michael O’Leary, Chief Executive of Ryanair. After arriving in a hotel in Manchester, he went to the bar and asked for a pint of Guinness. The barman nodded and said, "That will be £1 please, Mr. O’Leary." Somewhat taken aback, O'Leary replied, "That's very cheap," and handed over his money. "Well, we do try to stay ahead of the competition", said the barman. "And we are serving free pints every Wednesday from 6 pm until 8 pm. We have the cheapest beer in England". "That is remarkable value", Michael comments. "I see you don't seem to have a glass, so you'll probably need one of ours. That will be £3 please." O'Leary scowled, but paid up. He took his drink and walked towards a seat. "Ah, you want to sit down?" said the barman. "That'll be an extra £2. You could have pre-booked the seat, and it would have only cost you £1." "I think you may be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame please". Michael attempts to sit down but the frame is too small and when he can't squeeze in, he complains "Nobody would fit in that little frame". "I'm afraid if you can't fit in the frame you'll have to pay an extra surcharge of £4 for your seat sir". O'Leary swore to himself, but paid up. "I see that you have brought your laptop with you" added the barman. "And since that wasn't pre-booked either, that will be another £3." O'Leary was so incensed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter, and yelled, "This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the manager". "I see you want to use the counter," says the barman, "that will be £2 please." O'Leary's face was red with rage. "Do you know who I am?" "Of course I do Mr. O'Leary." "I've had enough! What sort of a Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this. I insist on speaking to a manager!" "Here is his e-mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9.00 am and 9.01am every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free, until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only £1 per second, or part thereof". "I will never use this bar again". "OK sir, but do remember, we are the only hotel in England selling pints for £1
you know what..... http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-41355642 I am pretty damned sick of MAy and the tories now. They still don't understand what the EU is. Its a private club. You are in or you pay for access. Period. Norway. swizterland etc do. We want to walk away, politically dsirupting it, then have free access back in for nothing. pay about what the eu would have given back in stuff to ourselves and laugh... a boris laugh no doubt. Seriously, its deluded and will end in a punitive situation for us. the germans have like 20 odd billion a year surplus. they won't even blink at putting the squeeze on the UK to frighten the rest of them into line. SIGH.... its a serious sign that we see May still heading this government cos not one of them has the balls to stand up and lead as they all know shes the sacrifical lamb when it implodes.
'Two year transition period' Commonly known as the 'two year we still haven't got a ****ing clue what any of this means or any kind of ****ing plan or viable ideas continuing panic/indifference period' Maybe when it all fully crashes in on them they'll finally have the guts to ditch May and put somebody in to reroute the country and do the sensible thing and remain in the EU. Then they'll get to look like the great saviour. Just like May thought and hoped she'd look like the great saviour. Only she looks like a blithering, lost, haggard pawn. Until then the country continues to eat **** economically, socially, culturally, naturally ... great stuff
They are all ****s whoever is in power. My rant for the week lol. Although probably be another one tomorow after we **** up again against Leicester again lol.
Yeah, they're are a lot of fields at the start. My mate my bought boots at the same time as me for the same challenge. He and another mate wete taking the piss because I bought full leather. He constantly slipped on grass
Only one tbf, but I did take the kids to school, fetch them, take the mrs (nm) to work and fetch her back too. That's a good 2hrs of breaks Edit; also put two bits of paper up in the halfway that needed replacing Edit 2; and I had to watch the three boys whilst she was at work!
I have no option but to do this. I have an oddly shaped foot. Not only is it wide but my little toe is high... And not in the too much Cornish Blue way. My little toes always end up where shoe makers stich up the shoe... Recipe for blisters and general discomfort and toe pain. For every dozen shoes I try on I usually only find one that's comfortable. Could never buy any footwear online.
