Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary has called for an outright ban on early morning pre-flight pints at airport bars.
He said he “fails to understand” why anyone is served beer at 5 or 6am and wants alcohol sales restricted to normal licensing hours only.
O’Leary has long demanded a strict two-drink limit per passenger.
He revealed Ryanair is now forced to divert flights almost daily because of drunken and aggressive passengers – up from once a week a decade ago.
The boss accused airports of “profiteering” by pushing early booze and exporting the chaos to airlines.
Critics argue: "Drunks shouldn’t be allowed to board in the first place. Stop selling alcohol on board."
and
"Not just early morning. All alcohol should be banned at the airport and on the plane. It has no place in a confined space and full of people"
Thoughts?
I grew up in Wagga Wagga where the kids growing up used to play a game called "Red Rover Cross Over".
It was mainly a boys game where all the boys would gather in a group at the end of the playground with one boy standing in the middle of the playground.
He'd yell "Red Rover Cross Over” and all the other kids had to run to the other end of the playground without being caught.
The kid in the middle had to catch and hold one of them while yelling "caught 123"
The kid caught would then join the kid in the middle for the next call of "Red Rover Cross Over" during which both kids in the middle would catch another kid who would stay in the middle and so on.
The last kid caught would win the game and he'd be the one to stay in the middle for next round.
It was good fun (my three daughters used to play it most afternoons with me) while giving the kids exercise and training for future rugby teams or other sports.
Can anyone else recall playing the same game?

Can’t believe there was a guy on these streets who said Cullen was not Elite! RHAAAA 😂😂😂
Watching this guy do this week in, week out in SR, in Tri Nations and End Of Year Tours (now Autumn Series) is unmatched.
@notnormal_olein I recall primary school playground noise back in the 80s. Lots of primary school kids when they are playing care free with friends may not have developed the self awareness to tone it down.
I live opposite a primary school so you hear them out at play. All they do is high pitched screaming.
I don’t remember kids screaming as much in my day.
The only day I screamed like that as a kid was when a man told me I was pretty and asked me to come with him outside school😬
A girl shares a frustrating gym experience and says she’ll never go back to a public gym again. She’s in the middle of a workout, using a machine and going through her sets. Suddenly, another woman interrupts her mid-set to ask how much longer she has left. She answers politely, “just 2 more sets.” Less than a minute later, the same woman comes back and demands she move immediately because she wants the machine, even threatening to complain at the front desk.
It’s one of those situations where basic gym etiquette seems to go out the window. Most people understand you either wait your turn or ask to work in—not pressure someone mid-workout.
Have you ever dealt with someone like this at the gym, and what do you think is the right way to handle it?
