@thundersplat@entreprneursonx Doubtful there were many alternatives to Ratners not so Ryanair with the number of routes quantity of flights and pricing
Michael O'Leary on why Ryanair won't use Starlink Wi-Fi:
Elon Musk wants Ryanair to install Starlink, but O'Leary did the math and shut it down.
"We have to put a couple of dimples on the outside of the aircraft. It would be about a 2% fuel drag."
"My fuel bill is 5 billion a year. 2% fuel drag is something of the order of about 100 million."
"Starlink believes passengers will pay you 1 euro, 2 euro, and it will pay for itself."
"Clearly they've never met any Ryanair passengers."
He's not spending 100 million so passengers can scroll for free:
Three days in and two shows done. Glenn's solo shows are a great place to hear some great deep cuts from across the Squeeze songbook, like "The Elephant Ride" here. Will we be seeing you in Norwich tonight?

Trump just confirmed: Iran has agreed to being barred from producing nuclear weapons AND the US will be taking possession of Iran's uranium.
Oil decentralized.
No nuclear weapon.
No control of the Strait.
AND Trump gets the uranium — the smoking gun against Obama and Hillary Clinton. You think they're panicking? Absolutely.
9 mai 1966, l'une des pièces maîtresses de Revolver est enregistrée.
Il sera difficile de ne pas placer ce titre dans le top 10 des compos de McCartney, à la condition qu'il soit possible avec lui de n'en choisir que 10. Même Lennon, parfois avare de compliments envers son partenaire après leur séparation, ne pouvait qu'admettre qu'il s'agissait là d'une merveille de composition.
Brian Wilson a avoué que c'est un des titres de Revolver qui l'avait obsédé alors qu'il venait pourtant de publier Pet Sounds.
La chanson parfaite par excellence, un "nombre d'or" musical dont McCartney a le secret.
"For No One", The Beatles, 1966.

The first thing Nigel Farage will introduce if he is elected is Health Insurance.
The NHS correctly costs £200bn a year.
In the USA Health Insurance is £14,000 a year per person
£14,000 x 50m adults is £700bn a year. £500bn a year profit
If you can't afford that you are dying
@youlum@Bounette2009@BladeoftheS It is but that then means that you may well have to pay significant out of pocket costs for treatment. In the USA they have significant deductibles whereas my annual excess is only £250
@Cudge58@Bounette2009@BladeoftheS Is that not normal for any insurance, not just health. ie you can’t claim for a condition or incident that existed before you took the insurance out? Same for motor insurance for example.
@maaaa1779@BladeoftheS Mine is around £2k p.a but I am over 60 and our company schemes premiums are in age bands . 40 years ago when it started it was less than £200 p.a.
@youlum@BladeoftheS Typical BUPA doesn't cover chronic conditions, routine visits, childbirth or anything with reproductive health. Same for serious acute life threatening conditions.
