I bet the BBC don't wander down my neck of the woods ........ I will not be watching ........ I might be washing my hair, but seriously it sounds like the Irish lad is starting to struggle, I'll give him four months before they fold :evil: :evil:

Well, washing your hair might not take too long Ian! :shock: You will have loads of time to watch.

I'm going to watch it. There has been a lot of discussion about RA, would like to see a balanced view. Also, I am half an inch from booking for Spain to play tennis. But, I'm not too sure......

Also, Ian, my learned friend, suggesting/stating that a company is about to go under, when it may not be, is a sl..der. Steady on, my friend.

I think that your point has been adequately made, withhout appearing in court. :wink:

Ryanair..... :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

After spending 500,000euro's helping the YES campaign for the Irish Lisbon Vote (sorry EU CONstitution) out of his own pockets, just so he could butter up the EU trade commissionar because he wants to buy Air Lingus, at some point I hope Mr Oleary gets his just deserts :D :D

Just booked Ryanair to get to Spain in 3 weeks for a tennis academy week. Price 2 x GBP0.00 departure plus 2 x GBP29.00 return.
Total GBP256.22 (for two return flights)

The bottom line is acceptable, it is the c**p in the price build up.

I certainly think that trading standards should be getting a bit tougher with this company. My understanding is that the law remains that whatever the minimum cost of the flight is, then that should be the published price.

Yes Rose, La Manga, at the end of the month, pm me your son's name, and we will charge our drinks to him! Just joking Rose. What a co-incidence.

Have to say, neither of us feel very fit at the moment, and my knee is giving gyp, but we are looking forward to both the training and the competitions~ I know the Germans and Belgians take their tennis a bit seriously. :shock:

Brilliant! :D For my money, Ryanair came out the stronger in that exchange, and Panorama seemed to takes regular backtracks.

Fascinating. I can see the logic of a specific deal with Visa Electron - clever on the part of Visa. Overall, I guess the publicity will work well for Ryanair (there is rarely such a thing as bad publicity) both from the program, and from any subsequent slander litigation. Should be entertaining.

So who do you think will win? The BBC or MOL? My guess is that the BBC are out of their depth - but we shall see. Should be fun.

Wickers! That is NOT what I said. You live in a democracy, and as such, you may say what you wish. OTOH, if MOL believes that you have said something about him, or his company, and this is untrue, he can bankrupt you. (Unless of course you are as rich as Admin!) Just trying to be helpful, my friend.

England, (not Scotland), has some of the most leniant slander law enaction in the civilised world. There is a parliamentry committee working their way through a bill on this subject right now.

You can say whatever you like about R/A and MOL, as long as it is true.
