About this Blogger

I'm not big on buying magazines, but I subscribe to Technology Review, which is my source for a lot of facts on all manner of global issues. It tests my patience at times though, as I've always been a keen observer with vivid memories from before I was two years old, and have always exercised my brain in as many multitasking ways as possible. I've also dealt with a lot of people in my time, having logged over four million kilometres in company cars representing divers fabricants and suppliers of fashion clothing, timber, footwear, hi fi, photographics, electronics, TV, home renovation, auto electrical, computer graphics, and IT, and I've been using computers since 1967, starting with IBM mainframes, and have been using internet since 1989. So there's not a lot of opportunity to pull the wool over my eyes.

Well I´ve seen it all now. Planned to bring a guitar back from my next trip to the UK. The airline insisted I book a seat especially for the guitar; It did not allow me an extra ten kilos of hand baggage, just the seat for the guitar..... but now plans have changed, I figured `well, if I´m not bringing back a guitar, there´s a couple of nice bathroom fittings I could get instead´...  No, the ticket is solely for a guitar; no guitar, the seat goes empty; no extra 10 kilos of something else?; I booked in advance like setting my life in concrete. Know any Irish jokes? I know one; RyanAir; my recommendation? If you can find another carrier, DO, as these guys have barely gotten beyond neanderthal in their abilities to accomodate a slight change of plans; I once heard `autistic´ described as `like a train, not easy to change tracks quickly´, and that is how I´d describe RyanAir; Autistic Air; cheap but stupid. Welcome to the 21st Century. If I can choose an airline again, I´ll make sure the Irish are at the bottom of my list. I fly EasyJet usually; WizzAir is another option. I´ve just been stymied by a crap website, a crap level of interactivity, and, damn my prejudice, by a set of Irish rules as thick as two short planks.
I´d like to cc a copy of this to RyanAir, but they don´t offer such a relationship.
Nuff said.
