Now there's an idea :) It won't be Aer Lingus anyway but I'd bet it would really appeal to O'Leary's warped sense of humour. I'm going to see if I can find a way to contact him so we can get a campaign going.Quote:

Am off down to the newsagents now to read Dolans Star article on us ...

Its a win-win-win. Ryanair & Rovers get free publicity & the media get to fill a space in their papers.Quote:
