Anybody ever tried Ryan Air?

Not sure you can say that sort of thing anymore! You'll have the PC PC police round! Or should they be called PC3?

I thought of you on Sunday evening. Miss Jiphy and I were having a walk in the city centre. We met a few tramps speaking more or less all the languages spoken in the Babel tower - but no Ryan Air passengers I guess. But all the ones who were crying (edit : no crying but shouting - I speak English like a wog) like pigs in the streets, drinking heavily, spewing where they could were English. So, everytime I met a few of them I said, like a gimmick : "Thank you Ryan Air" (thinking of you). Most of them replied, in a more or less understandable English "Oh, yes, it's worth to travel with them, the booze is not expansive in your country..." Sadly, I had no video recorder with me. Then I thought of what you said on this board. The impacts on local economy are : Hotel rooms. And I guess the people running these places pay the maids a good price because it is always a dirty job to clean drunkards rooms. Alcohol retailers. They sell huge quantities of alcohol, more than to the local population. And the people who clean the streets. Easy to follow some English people... Even my neigbor's dog is cleaner.

Beware, I do not say that all British people behave like this. Most of them are gentlemen, just as the stereotype. But the worse are the ones I talked about.

And they say the French are an arrogant bunch, eh? Well done Jilphy for reinforcing the stereotype of your nation as being unwelcoming, arrogant and downright fucking rude!

If you expect me to believe your generalisations and claims that there were hordes of dirty, unsophisticated Englishmen being sick on your streets last Sunday then you must think I was born yesterday. Bollocks. They were all in Tenerife, or Prague or Loret De Mar.

Mabye you could petition Ryanair to include a "sophistication" tax to make sure that the British working classes don't come and ruin the scenery in your quaint little French hamlets.

I did not speak about hordes. I did not generalise, I just pointed out that some still behave this way. I did not mention Prague either. I think you know about this just like me. I did not want to petition Ryanair. Everybody is free to do what they want to do as long as they know how to behave with respect. I think you cannot disagree with me on this point. And I know that the French "working class" can behave the same abroad, which is shame to me. What you say about stereotypes is funny. I wonder who are the more offending if a counting was to be held on this board between English and French. I am sure to loose...

Just that I read sometimes on this board that people called like this were living in Calais and all the places South from this city...

First time I've seen the word "wog" for a hell of a long time, certainly never on here, and I hope it doesn't crop up again.

So do I.
