Annnnnnd... We're Back.

Me and Nikki went to London for New Years. We didn't do much apart from eating LOTS of amazing Italian food, courtesy of our friend Lauras' ex-chef Dad, drink lots of home-made wine, chill and sleep, however, amongst the highlights were:

  • Going to the Science museum (but leaving because it was WAY too hot in there).
  • Going for lunch in Reigate.
  • Going to Covent Garden (we *heart* Covent Garden).
  • Getting totally fucking soaked in a sudden downpour and not really caring.
  • Eating 12 grapes, one for every "bong" of Big Ben at midnight on New Years Eve/Day (and watching grapes come out of Nikki's nose due to extreme amounts of hilarity ensuing).
  • Learning how to play Briscola (badly).
  • Meeting Dan, Nat and Ian for late lunch/early dinner on New Years Day (and watching Dan drink five Virgin Marys in 30 minutes without puking).
  • Meeting Adrian for lunch in Richmond (near where he works in eBay).

I won't harp on about how completely SHITE Ryanair have become, and how even their own staff are complaining about their ?8/kilo excess baggage charge, but suffice to say that after our trip to Oslo in March (which is already booked), we will never travel with them again.

Unfortunately, due to several silly circumstances, we didn't meet up with Annie, which is a real, real pity as she is so lovely and we really wanted to see her while we were there. Oh well, next time, ok Annie?

Happy New Year everybody!

Oh yes, can't agree with you more about the excess baggage policy. No-one could explain to me why hold luggage is restricted to 15kg and hand luggage is 10kg! Absolutely ridiculous and has made me pack quite minimally because I don't really have much of a choice in airlines atm.

Happy New Year btw - and you've also been meme-tagged!

I've never seen a blog post talking about how good Ryanair is. Loads on how shit they are.

Was good to see you guys.

Most importantly, did you try the coffee?

Glad you had a great time! And it's good to see you back.

Awww! Next time.

That's a Spanish thing, the grapes. Were you with Spaniards?

There's no blog post on how good Ryanair are because they are shit. But, like Microsoft with certain software, they have a virtual monopoly on cheap flights. Didn't try the coffee at Source, no, but only because I didn't fancy a coffee at the time.

Next time Annie, for definitely. And no, we were with Italians?! Maybe it's a Mediterranean thing?

The coffee is so good you would have felt like it the moment you would have tried it.

Compare this interview with Easy Stelious to the RyanAir Twunt. I much prefer Easy.

Easyjet don't fly to Dublin, unfortunately.
