Absolutely and I know I could rely on the rest of you to show solidarity and boycott Ryanair, right?

In my experience there are a small percentage of customers, bullies basically, who are toxic and have the ability to ruin the experience for your good customers by taking up an inordinate amount of resources in money, time and employee ment

That's only because the reaction was so unusual. I'd react the way you suggest but I admire people who react the way he did. And, every now and then you hear of a business with a fuck you attitude that succeeds, e.g. Ryanair

Those uses of keylogging are about as legitimate as hidden cameras in hotel bedrooms, imo.

Le Pen is steady at about 1/3 Macron is at about the same with everyone expecting the final 1/3 to support him in a run-off. Seems pretty safe for Macron. I don't know much about France, is there ever much of a shift before t

Maybe, but opinion polls got it wrong in the cases of Trump and Brexit. It seems a lot of people who intend vote on the right (for the want of a better term) are coy about it when asked.

I don't buy this argument. There was a long period of peace after Waterloo in 1815. After WW1 the powers of Europe were still big players on the world stage and Germany still felt it had some sort of imperialist destiny to fulfill. Af

This story is going to get very boring very quickly. Little will be decided until close to the deadline in two years. In the meantime life will go on as normal as it has for the last year. What is much more interesting is what will happen s

That surprises me, I'd thought the drop in circulations was less severe at the local level.

I think local newspapers are better placed to survive than national ones. Round here they send photographers to every community event and people love seeing themselves/relatives/friends/enemies in print. Also district court p

The law is there to protect us but this is an example of how the high cost of going to law facilitates oppression. The same goes when it comes to dealing with the government. A government official has no personal liability with respect to a

Sky show nfl in the UK and for a lot of the breaks over there they have a studio discussion of the last play. So they show maybe half the amount of ads you have to watch there and it's still way too many.

Sounds about right and that is what will kill it I think. I'd probably still be a customer but for the ads. When I first got sky I naively thought it would have none. But in fact Sky has more ads than free-to-air commercial tv in the

I got rid of sky last year. I was paying a multiple of what netflix costs and had to put up with what seemed like 5 minutes of ads for every 10 minutes of a show. It made GOT completely unwatchable. I am under no illusions about how netflix

True, there are lots of factors at play. All things being equal though I believe shyness is a hindrance to being successful both socially and professionally in the conventional sense.

I think that the fact that one of your children was naturally shy is the real issue. Shy people tend to have difficulties that non-shy people don't have. I could be wrong of course, but that's what I believe, as a shy person who

>Other countries put refugees into rather filthy mass shelters, with just rows and rows of a hundred cots to sleep and instead of cash there's catering bought for $1 per meal. Which countries do that?
