This thread is to say nice things about topics which are usually 99% rant-fodder.
For instance, to say something nice about Ryanair, a tax increase, Civitas, UKIP, Brexit, s storm, a criminal, etc .

I will start with Ryanair:
- Booked a return ticket for next year, cheap as can be, for €25.
- 3 weeks later, got to change my departure date: flight cost was €19 (as on the original date), and change fee €40, so total to pay = €40
- Then realized I could just buy a new one-way for the new date for €15!

And the real good news here, is that Ryanair, as opposed to others, will allow you to use a return when you do not use the first leg of it. So my return date remained unchanged! (That's because they do not offer lower prices for a return, than they do for the same journey as 2 single disconnected trips.) So for once, good on you, Ryanair!

I rang vodafone once and asked them why they DIDN'T cut me off all the times I failed to play the bills on time, (Eir just cut you off, and then charge you re-connection fees, which I find infuriating!!)

They told me they noticed my account always seems to run into arrears, for one or two bills then I pay it all off at once (which is what I do, sometimes with an advance on the next bill as well).

Wow. human beings working at vodafone, who'd have thought?

I was happy that my property tax wasnt decreased. The council is able to invest in improved library services with lpt.

Thats just crazy talk!

Investing in decent public services is a good thing

Are you a politician?

I love Ryanair! I can see some of the most amazing cities in Europe for less than the price of a night in the pub.
