Up up And Away!

I still prefer airships, they pollute less.

Airbus has flown from Toulouse in France to Leonardo da Vinci in Rome

and updates on Ryanair's latest ruffianism.

lots of people were invited to have a look, at the biggest bestest tippy toppiest airplane ever ever which was intended solely for passengers.

Messrs Blair, Chirac, Shroeder and Zapatero clapped their handies in glee.

For those of with more down to earth tastes -
Ryanair will start flying to Santiago Galicia on April 11.

The Irish based company still however is attracting flak, keen readers will remember that we had a go at them over charging for wheelchairs, which they finally settled.


Before launching the last route to Reus, the company fired two workers for the dubious reasons of being trade union acitivists. Normal middle of the road trade union types, in the old "everybody out" mould.


Accordingly the middle of the road UGT union in Spain has called "everybody out" the strike amongst bagage handlers begins in February.

And they also calling for the ending of public money support to the budget airline giant, whose website boasts the motto of Superman (the late Christopher Reeves version and not the Nietschean one - żAre they dis-similar?) "up up and away".

Will the "unacceptable face of capitalism" (a technical expression suprisingly used by a FF minister to describe the ryanair shenigangs) carry on with the cheekyness and shoddy treatment of workers?

If you're not a keen reader you can put "ryanair" through the search engine (wth comments on) of both ireland and uk indymedia.

up up and away indeed.
you don't buy us off with offers of a 3eu ticket to dublin.

Little Miss Salmon (former Miss Northern Ireland) a pretty and lovely girl in the northern mould way, has recently joined the crew of Blue Peter, teaching the youngsters of the neighbouring island and some of our own how to use symbols and sticky back plastic and collect things.

One of her first tasks was to decorate a Boing Jumbo jet, big aircraft once the titan of the skies developed by the aero-defence corporation of the same name, but little Miss Salmon cuased offence by suggesting that a "red hand of Ulster" was the best of british and ought take its place as the "civilian aircraft's" colors.

She has now apologised, and will join the scandalous ranks of previous Blue Peter un-wholesome presenters such as Richard Bacon who was sacked for taking cocaine in 1998.

*The Blue Peter crew guidelines proscribe reference to Northern Ireland as "Ulster", as that is the proper name of a nine county province which is one of the four provinces of Ireland.

Meanwhile the Euro Airbus is bigger, wider, longer, faster, and more efficient than a Boeing Jumbo and not a single one will be converted to use as a military jet. The Chinese are going to buy 5 at the end of the month, Singapore has ordered 10 and the Mexicans are going to see their first one land next month. So the workers have their jobs.
You can make a model of one by cutting the top of a washing-up bottle, (get a grown-up to help you) sticking a flower in it, and little wings on the side, (use your imagination, if it looks like a wing to you it'll do). When you've finished making your wings (as many as you want it's your euro Airbus) you can paint it with little stars and plonk a jolly roger on the end.

for the older amongst you here's a bonus tabloid shot of Zoe doing the trampoline.
