@glasagusban

What city are you travelling to and what airline and route are you taking @Bandage?

I’m travelling from Dublin to Amsterdam and I’ll be going directly via Aer Lingus - they’re an Irish airline.

@His Holiness Da Dalai Lama

@Bandage , it appears you exclusively fly ‘Red Eye’. Is there a particular business related advantage to doing so ?

Arranging very early meetings that require red eye flights show that I mean business. And I do mean business because I’m a businessman.

@Fran

Aer Lingus give you a dedicated seat and some extra carry-on baggage space yet they expect you to sit on the plane for 2 hours longer than the flight should take

I made the exact point in my strongly worded email of complaint.

In what way are you a businessman, Bandage? I understand that you mean business and, at a stretch, might claim you are the business, but don’t see that you actually do any business of your own.

@Bandage

@Fran, I know you travel to The Netherlands on business regularly and I’m doing likewise next week. However, I note that my flight over takes 2 hours 40 minutes and the return a mere 40 minutes. I’ve sent an email of complaint about this wild inconsistency to Aer Lingus already but have you experienced such issues yourself?

You’ve the wind on the way back

I do business on behalf of the nation, pal.

This may explain your testy behaviour on other threads. Taking it out on poor @carryharry too.

If you were flying Aer Lingus you’d be home in about 20 minutes

@Fran

If you we’re flying Aer Lingus you’d be home in about 20 minutes

@Bandage, could you in the future put a number in these business transactions you are conducting please? Are we talking seven or eight figures here? It would be helpful in gauging the import of your red eyes.

That’s good enough for me. If there’s one thing this nation needs it’s perfectly embroidered personalised shirts carrying the hopes of a nation on the red-eyes of europe.

I’m a big deal, pal. So it makes sense I’m only involved in the biggest deals. 8 or 9-figure tranactions and no decimal points in the middle either, mate.

I’m only pulling you up because I expect better of you. Typo :rolleyes: the default excuse of the slow witted.

Look, pal, I know how to spell “transactions”. Can’t I listen to some Mazzy Star from the early 1990s on a Friday night without you pissing me off?

@Mac

It was Fran making a fool of you, thought that was obvious. Maybe you really are a dumbshit.

that hit a nerve…

Fair enough-I will take you at your word that you did indeed know how to spell transactions and that you didn’t just google it. Enjoy the tunes, bro.

Which songs of hers are you listening to, pal?

[Bandage]

@Mark Renton

I was listening to Fade Into You, mate. They’re a duo though, aren’t they? Not just the lady.

No nerve at all mate. When I’m on my redeye on Monday morning to clinch a 7 figure deal from now to Christmas over the course of a standard eyeballing session I’ll be at ease thinking of the likes of you and your mail order eastern European bride.
