Surprised Michael O'Leary has not charged everyone onboard an extra €10 for the detour , but I am sure he is working on it.

Be more than that Lewis, it would be classed as an excursion. Same barstewards charged me excess baggage on flight back from Jerez, the point is, the baggage was exactly the same as I travelled out with, no extra, no souvenirs just a dirty boiler suit which was clean on way out 3 days previously.

Re: Covid Vacs
I know what you mean Tony, it is hit and miss who the agent is at the desk when you drop off your bags. We had an Easy Jet flight out of Liverpool early Sunday morning flight to Spain. The Agent looked as if he had had a night out on the town. The wife gave him a couple of paracetamol and some chewing gum, glad he was not the pilot, anyway he waved the bags through no bother.

I read (complete with photographs) that a certain religion are covering themselves with cow dung and urine because the cow is an Holy Object and anything from it will protect them, as it is God's envoy. Another report from the Caribbean country believe that natural remedies such as ginger will protect them from the virus.
This are the superstitions we are fighting, but are never mentioned in mainstream media in case they offend minorities

Well I can see the logic behind that Ivan, I mean social distancing is guarranteed and may even have the added bonus of acting as a
contraceptive

Therein lies a problem , they will just pass it on to others who will pass it on to others again.
Maybe it is because it is a cultural thing or they have concerns about Astra ZenekaAstra.jpg

Re: Covid Vacs
AZ for me any time.
Here in Oz the Vaccination rate has been a tad on the slow side, but now going gang busters.
She'll be apples mate is the way we see things here, no rush take it slow.
Then today it was announced that here in Melbourne there are five cases, first for over 80 days.
The queues at the testing stations and Vaccination ones has grown 100 fold since Monday.
WA and SA are embarking on a 16 year old plus to be vaccinated as soon as they like, the take up looks good.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
