1 cent to fly to Cork
Posted in Old blogger by Twenty Major on September 15th, 2005
Leaving aside the question why anyone would want to ever go to Cork in the first place the 1cent fare, excluding taxes, from Ryanair is a bargain. If you have to go to Cork. Which I don’t.
I’m all for these bargain airlines. The way things are going soon they’ll be paying us to fly with them.
‘How much to Rome, please?’
‘We’ll give you a fiver and one of those mini-cans of Coke.’
Ciao bellos! It would make you wish some other industries got involved in the this price war business though. Nobody really needs to fly with Ryanair to one of their airports miles from where they say it is. I once flew for 1 and a half hours with Ryanair to Paris. We landed in a field with a runway and a shack for a terminal, then had to take a fucking bus for more time than the actual flight to get into Paris itself. That’s beside the point though. There should be price wars for the things people really need.
What if Guinness, Murphy’s and Beamish got into a stout war, constantly slashing the price of a pint of the black stuff, thus giving us more for our money? Of course those scabby cunts in the government would still make sure we pay through the fucking nose for a drink the miserable shylocks.
Pampers v Huggies, Avonore milk v Premier Dairies, Dubliner cheese v Kilmeaden, Denny’s v Galtee, Mars v Cadburys, Nike v Puma, Sony v Panasonic, Kramer v Kramer.
Proper fucking price wars, not these handy little cartels they have going on nowadays. We need an Archduke Ferdinand figure of Irish consumerism then someone to assassinate him. There’s only one person whose death would spark the required ire and reaction from consumers.
That’s right, we have to kill Eddie Hobbs and make it look like the government and every single major brand in the world did it. Prices would plummet, we could buy even more crap that we don’t need but for so much cheaper. I’m sorry about you, Eddie, you seem like a decent bloke an’ all but you have put yourself in a position where your martyrdom will do more than any television program ever could.
All it’ll take is some careful planning. Over to you, readers…

I’m starting to get a sneaking feeling somebody is doing a thesis of ‘Cranky old Bloggers with filthy beards.’ So many odd questions over the last few days, how does Twenty feel about this and that…strange, and all annoymous.
Abso, I rather like that mime idea, but is it possible to mime a cork accent?

I prefer anonymous - anyway most of the other posters are anonymous as well - just because your posting name is ‘fatmammycat’ or ‘farty5′ or ‘dr whatever’ doesnt actually tell people much about your true identity. Its nice and anonymous like - so it gives you more freedom to say what you like and not suffer the consequences - if what you say pisses anybody off. whereas if you gave your contact details like my name is so and so - my address and phone no is such and such it could lead to uncomfortable situations particularly as you dont know the people you are chatting to on this blog -

Ahh Rathmines, that takes me back. Pokey ground floor flat that saw sunshine between 8:00 and 8:07 am, Sharing a bathroom with the large unruly bog warrior next door who would sing rebel songs at half two in the morning and had raging green apple splatters. No central heating. Selling my bastard flatmate’s television when he was away for a weekend in Galway and telling him it was stolen…sigh, happy days.

It is the poo created and stored in the body after a particularly hard night of drinking. The next morning it doesn’t so much as come out as volcanically explode. My neighbour had this terrible affliction. I shared a bathroom with him, therefore I got to share all the goodies.
