    Manchester return to Italy last week. about 30 mins in security going out, 15 mins coming back. was preparing for a lot worse. the flight coming back was delayed about 90 mins, but that seems to be standard practice for Ryanair.

    I have to say though, a lot of people really don't help. the amount of people fcking about is maddening. sat there for hours, tannoy constantly telling people to get laptops out, liquids in clear bags, boarding passes ready etc. but no. they wait until they're at the security trays, to start rifling through luggage to get things out. same with passport control. GET YOUR FKING PASSPORTS AND BOARDING PASSES READY!!!

    Talking about some folk not really helping, As we were going through security on our return yesterday, a woman in front of me, instead of picking her trays up after they were scanned and walking to the tables to re-pack her items, she started re-packing there at the scanner. The security staff soon had her moving on, but just goes to show how some folk don’t really think, or care, or both

    We set off without baggage. Landed in turkey uproar ensued!
    private taxi to hotel wasn’t at airport, waited an hour for fella to sort.
    Been to Turkish market today for clothes, I have knock off gucci flip flops, Hugo boss swim shorts, a givenchy t shirt. I look like fuckïng borat.
    Well I would if borat was bright red.. cos it’s red hot!
