You know you’re in a proper country when the security staff sneer at you for starting to unpack your laptop.

@Big_Dan_Campbell

Good to see that they are trialing one of the new luggage scanners in T1 this morning. Queue didn’t move much quicker than the regular line but nice not having to unload the laptop and toiletries

They’ve been trialling them in Donegal and Knock apparently. You’d love to know the logic behind that selection

[Spidey]

Farranfore had them in September, I assume they still do

[Jahan]

They’ve been in Shannon for quite a while. Presumably easier to roll out in quieter airports and where only a couple of machines are required. No restriction on liquid volumes either.

Rural Ireland showing Urban Ireland how it’s done again. @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy and @Tim_Riggins will be seething

I see some crowd from iRadio went from the car to the bar in 6mins 25seconds at Knock airport yesterday.

Unrale.

You’d do it in 3 mins in Kerry, absolutely no problem.

You’d nearly do Shannon in 5 mins as well

[flattythehurdler]

That’s about standard in knock last few times I’ve been.

Signing in from Dusseldorf, not the most charming cities in the world I would say.

What did you have for the breakfast pal?

[Spidey]

Take a wander round the Altstadt - prob the best part of it

[Loko_Cove]

Scrambled eggs and a few German sausages, not bad. Off to a trade fair now for the day.

Drug trafficking is very profitable, but what is your ass worth to you in the long run?

[balbec]

Why won’t they buy you a direct flight?

[Locke]

I’m starting to get direct flights out of Cork to Zurich so at least that’s something. But Cork just doesn’t go to many places, but has connectivity with Heathrow and Amsterdam. The train trip, just way cheaper. We fly through Egencia and they shove you all over the place or else you pay huge amounts to fly direct. Plus a night in Vienna is expensive. €160 for the train but it was from the 1980’s. Had my own cabin but got I’d say 60 mins tops sleep. It was a one off, won’t have to do it again.

[myboyblue]

There’s some fella sitting back somewhere at his island in his dressing gown, looking out at his underground trampoline, sipping on a coffee from beans hes ground himself, checking in on where @locke is, and firing him a “great work, keep tipping away @locke” email.

Is it your company? If not fuck that, if they want you to go somewhere they can pay for it
