Is there still a statue of Ringy under the stairs?

[balbec]

Maybe those mugs should travel over the night before and go into their meetings refreshed? Half of them probably fall asleep.

Short hop to London for an early morning meeting I need to be on my A game for so traveling over evening before.

Flying in the early evening from Dublin is a nice experience. Airport is very quiet. A couple of glasses of wine, fire off some emails, catch up with some new music, tfk. It’s all good for my serotonin.

@TheUlteriorMotive

I arrived to my 9.30am meeting suitably refreshed. Sunny warm day and meeting was scheduled to last til late afternoon. I sat in beside my main protagonist, neutralizing the group shield and made some chit chat to get him answering yes. We were wrapped up by 11.55. I toyed, momentarily, with rushing off to the airport to get an earlier flight. Instead I headed off for lunch and a couple of glasses of Sauvignon Blanc in the sun.

These mugs flying in first thing from Dublin, running late, big red faces and arriving stressed and now on the back foot. You could not make it up. Control the controllables.

All the Mick’s not willing to put their career first and head over the night before. Couldn’t make it up

Well I thought it went alright, second time around. was a long day was up at 4:30 this morning so by the time it came around I couldn’t care less what they threw at me. International business brought out a new desperate side to me the, I was walking around with a laptop bag full of 3d glasses from the cinema and no laptop. There is a lot of bullshit up there that I don’t like. @artfoley even managed to pick me out of 1m people that’s how much I stood out.

You were up at 4.30am for a 4pm interview you were driving to? Was it a horse and cart you drove up or something?

ooft jesus

We're joining forces with CityJet on Dublin-London City - Aer Lingus Blog

Coincidence to the WX112 mess up?

[Mac]

The flight was delayed due to lack of staff. They knew this last night. They’ve operated a few flights recently through some charter airline so I’d say this has been in the works for a while now

[PhattPike]

Driving up to Dublin in the wee hours to face the airport at its worst to get a flight to another country to try and do international bidness while horsing cups of the absolute tar the Brits serve up as coffee into you to stay awake. You’d want your head examined.

[anon26343222]

Best of luck on the business trip. Bring home the bacon.

[balbec]

Afraid of their wives whinging on them if they travel the night before.

[Locke]

Mick needs to grow a pair

[PhattPike]

Here’s hoping pal.

Speaking of, I’ve said it before and I will say it again, the Dutch don’t really know what they are at when it comes to food.

[Tassotti]

The food is appalling in the Netherlands

[TheUlteriorMotive]

Worse than the Oirish they are

Dutch people do not eat enough fruit, vegetables and fish

[Julio_Geordio]

The problem with the Netherlands is its full of Dutch

[balbec]

And dykes

@Tassotti

The food is appalling in the Netherlands

the serve chips with mayoneeise the cunts

[Enrique]

I haven’t had mayo on anything in 20 years. It turns my stomach looking at lads lathering the stuff on to everything. On chips, Christ.

[anon78624367]

Not even a garlic cheese chip?
