A bit offf my usual topics today.
Just returned from a holiday abroad, so thought I would comment on the flight.
Ryanair invite their customers to pay extra to pick seats - say a window seat or aisle seat, and also to sit with their loved ones. Should you choose to not accept the extra fee, Ryanair seem to take delight in offering the worst possible options - middle seats, where you are hemmed in on either side and seperating couples, not just a few seats, but other ends of the plane!
Today, there were around ten to fifteen spare seats that I saw - and Ryanair still chose to sit my wife at the opposite end of the plane. When we checked in online a day before, there was plenty of option to sit together as long as we paid the extra.....
A bit mean of them I feel. Todays cabin crew were really nice and accomodated many customers with needs such as a young baby (who seperates mum and dad with a baby?) but there were still disgruntled passengers moaning in the aisles.
Ah well - I rarely travel unless I am driving but they don't do themselves any favours.

I dooooon't believe it!
Quite apart from this being my first post in about a thousand years, my favourite source of frustration - the internet speed here - is going to be souped up to beyond the UK average! Amazing!
As I have mentioned so many times, my internet is below 1mb/s which is pretty poor. Living in the sticks means that the upgrading of my line is not economically viable apparently.
Well, it seems that if the 30 odd households who live on the lane all set up a community group and ask nicely - with a little effort collecting agreements in principle and some work to get funding sorted - then BT may decide to install something better.
Yes, they are installing fibre! And not just fibre to the cabinet, but fibre to the premises - yes, fibre through the wall into my home! So we are in theory going to be in the top few percent of the country!
I guess that sort of speed will cost mega-money, but nice to have the option! Even if I can get the "up to 20meg" speed I pay for now, I will be happy!
Lets see what happens. It should all be in place before this time next year apparently!
