Does any one fancy owning their own book shop?

Good boy - somehow I had a very strong feeling you might see sense when it came down to the real nitty gritty.

It's seems you're trying to push your luck to prove your point Russ - which may or may not be valid - so just open a thread in the Circolo - get it off your chest - and hope the opposing party has the God given strength to resist the challenge and temptation to join you.

I tell you, it would take a stronger more self controlled person than me to resist, but I think you either have to do it - or - stop squeaking about it.

Russ, your suggestion is in the News section of the Ryanair website and even a topic of conversation on Loose Women today.

Ryanair - News : One In Three Ryanair Passengers Vote for ‘Fat Tax’

[Monique]

Oh wow did someone here suggest that and win Not very pc I voted for the toilet paper

PS I sent in a few suggestions but obviously not good enough

Yep and I am now watching my husband's waist measurement VERY closely. But the Forum Member who won the Ryanair competition, didn't keep the money ...it was used as part of the L'Aquila Donation I believe.....A long story but all in a good cause.

Russ, I think it's wonderful what you're doing. As for anyone, who has a problem with it: Get a life! I'm not able to donate much money but want to help whichever way I can. So thanks to anyone who's contributed to our food collection. We are now calling for help for the suffering animals. I know the call is for dry pet food. Having spoken to Sarah about the collection this morning, I know that all sorts of pet bedding, toys, baskets, food bowls, etc. would also be needed. so if you have any old blankets, etc... Also, is there anyone who would consider fostering an animal for anyone who's not able to look after their pet due to losing their home, etc but would like it back when their life has returned to normality? I would like to talk to Francesca from the rescue centre about setting up a pet fostering scheme.
I would also like to appeal for help for the children.
I'm having a sorting through my daughters out-grown clothes and obsolete toys. I think it would be great to collect any clothes and toys that people don't need for their children anymore. I'd be happy to organize a collection to take to Abbruzzo. So anyone wanting to contribute, please let me know. It'd be great if you can put the word out to anyone with children as surely they'll have things to add to a collection.

I dont believe the prize money has been paid out from Ryanair yet Noble and so it hasn't been donated to the Abruzzo Earthquake forum fund, although half of the total prize money (£500.00) was so very kindly promised to the fund by Russ, who has also very generously bought the bunk beds spoken about above.
