That Ryanair (who shouldn't be confused with EasyJet) decided to defend their people in the way they did, is also pretty funny. I laughed out loud at their statement:

"Ryanair can confirm that a Ryanair staff member did engage in a blog discussion. It is Ryanair policy not to waste time and energy in corresponding with idiot bloggers and Ryanair can confirm that it won't be happening again.

Lunatic bloggers can have the blog sphere all to themselves as our people are far too busy driving down the cost of air travel."

I hate it when organisations are contrite and roll over in the face of criticism or media pressure. Why, after all, dampen down a blaze when you can stoke it up and still be wrong? It's not as if the people you're slagging off are, have ever been or ever will be customers. They're just sad, lonely, sexually self-sufficient losers who never fly anywhere for £1. They (and I guess I must mean 'we' cos I'm writing this) just use our copious spare time being pedantic about low-cost bargain airline Ryanair and the website you might use to book bargain £1 Ryanair fares to Europe online.

People like us certainly wouldn't spend a few minutes writing a blog post about bargain airline Ryanair and linking to pages that detail this silly little affair in the hope that people looking for cheap flights to France, Germany, Italy and Spain from Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and Heathrow (to name a few!) might find those pages before the official Ryanair website.

That would be a long, long, long way from the truth (almost far as the distance from the airport to the place you thought you were flying to). And I for one would never suggest that other people should do the same. There's no such thing as bad publicity? Try telling that to Frank Bough.
