My local petrol station only does 1 version of each, I will usually buy the expensive version every now and then from other station, especially if doing a long trip.....think I've been done for speeding again :-(

Eau de Cologne. Cheap scents are an abomination no civilised man should countenance. Better to use nothing more than soap and water than smear oneself with the foul stench of anything cheaper than about 70-odd quid per 100ml.

Wine

Everyday drinking wine £10-12 a bottle, for special occasions £30-60 a bottle. More than that isn't needed unless you don't know what you're doing. Less than that and you clearly don't appreciate good wine. NTTAWWI

Life's too short to drink bad wine, as they say.

This is more a point of principle than of comfort, practicality or aesthetics, though, isn't it?

After all, flying Aer Lingus to Shannon is just as shít as flying Ryanair to Shannon (as I know from recent experience). The passengers are just as ghastly, the seating just as uncomfortble and the attempts to gouge money out of you for mundane things just as blatant.

Christ man, in what way is Aer Lingus even pretending to be a better option than Easyjet? I wouldn't class Aer Lingus as any better than Ryanair, for all love!

Aer Lingus :hehe: Ireland's national carrier. :hehe: :potatopeople:

Because it is not a budget airline, but a national carrier - however wánk. And I think I'm right in saying that if you needed to take a short flight somewhere and had the choice between Aer Lingus and Ryanair, your conscience would cause you to choose the former. Am I wrong?

Got Agua di Parma Ambra the other day which has been pleasing. Seems to last all day.

Which of the Blu Mediterraneo range would you recommend?

Obviously one has a league table of shít airlines, and one tries to pick from the top, rather than the bottom.

Aer Lingus comes pretty close to the bottom.

I do not like the Blu Meditarraneo range. I'm a Colonia Essenza man and none of the little samplers they give you has ever struck me as superior to that.

What of Norwegian? They've brought a budget-type model to transatlantic flights, but aren't actually terrible. Are they 'budget'.

And they have pictures of famous Norwegians on the tails of their planes, which always makes me chuckle, as you've generally only heard of one in three.

v was booked on a Norwegian flight to JFK by her work last week. They apparently have a 'premium' cabin, which she reported was perfectly comfortable.

I would have refused to set foot upon the aircraft. I would rather fly American or even United.

At least they pay their crews a living wage.

I thought Norwegians were all about social justice and shít? :rubchin:

I have to say that my experience of American Carriers has been universally awful. US Airways or Delta probably the worst, with American and United not far ahead. For people who supposedly pride themselves on customer service, their cabin crew are remarkably surly - presumably because they can't jew tips out of you like every other **** in America. :furious:

Now, now. Don't take on, m. It's a perfectly respectable turn of phrase that simply acknowledges your people's obsessive avarice and ruthless determination to cheat money out of gentiles. Nothing sinister about it. :shrug:

When you say, 'Savoy', are you referring to The Savoy Grill, or to Kaspar's? Because, with all due respect, neither of them are up to much.

I almost had to book a flight through one of them on Sunday - feckers the lot of them. Fortunately being Ireland, the funeral I was planning to go to took place so quickly I didn't have any chance of making it anyway.

only up in the air for about 30 minutes. What do you want, some Coleen to come and suck you off? Try the ferry when you need to take a car over. I reckon 70% pikies though they seem to be on their best behaviour.

Yes, that is handy, isn't it? The undue haste to get people below ground has got me out of a bunch of family funerals.

As a kid, I used to like the 3hr ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare as it meant lots of time to play on the video games while my poor mum quietly puked herself inside out. Great days. The Catamaran halved the time it took, but meant no video games. Rotten swizz.
