I reckon for sure. Pick ya favourite piece of music, turn it up, shut your eyes and drift off oblivious to the sheep surrounding you in your cattle class seat. Mind you, travelling on a plane full of cattle somehow seems more attractive, doesn't it? My other solution is a good set of ear plugs, ones that block out about 90% of all engine and animal noises, I never travel without them. As for the elbows and bingo wings hogging the arm rest, it's just a battle of wills, isn't it? "How hard do I have to shove your elbow before you realise you are invading my space? You want more space? Buy two fucking tickets, you c**t!!" The thought of mobiles being allowed on long haul horrifies me. That nokia ring tone or some self-chosen bag o shite 'song' going off in yer lug 'ole just as you finally drift off... Then of course, you have to listen to their pointless conversation. Get a life and shut the f**k up for a few hours and read a book.... Om Shanti Om The ipod is as part of the solution as much as it is part of the problem, don’t ya think? I reckon for sure.

Have never experienced the joys of travelling with RuinAir so can't really comment but, after the last nerve shredding flight to Athens courtesy of Stelios complete with screaming babies in front & behind my seat I vowed it would be the last time. As for the anti-social behaviour I just experienced a classic - arrived at the bus stop loaded with 4 shopping bags just as the C11 arrived - yay! - deposited my bags in the rack provided & gratefully sat down for the short journey home. Suddenly THWACK as a football was kicked against the window at my side by a kid who couldn't have been more than 10 years old. His m8s thought my shocked expression was hilarious & THWACK he did it again. As the bus pulled away - no comment from the driver who probably knew better than to remonstrate with 3 kids no matter how young - & before I realised what I was doing I found myself giving them the finger. Was this the response the kids were looking for? It's at times like these that I honestly despair for the direction our society is heading in. Missing u! ~ J Good job David…wise words indeed.
