And as a result, Ryanair have come up with a competition. The best idea submitted for the next &#8220;discretionary charge&#8221; &#8211; as they call it (not flagrant ripping-off of passengers) will win 1000 Euros.<\/p>\n<p \/>To see the submissions so far, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ryanair.com\/site\/EN\/news.php?yr=09&amp;month=mar&amp;story=pro-en-120309\">click here<\/a>. You almost have to admire Ryanairs ability to take the Mickey out of itself if it wasn&#8217;t so farcical a notion to have these &#8220;discretionary&#8221; charges. I like the first one on the list, charging for toilet roll, that has Mr O&#8217; Leary&#8217;s face printed on it! Genius! I&#8217;d definitely pay to use that. Better still, let&#8217;s have the opportunity to actually urinate and defecate directly ON Michael O&#8217; Leary&#8217;s face!!!<\/p>\n<p \/>Ryanair &#8211; going that extra mile to make the passengers happy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"posterous_download_image\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/3979208399727476335-7350543769862787098?l=lozzyr.blogspot.com\" height=\"1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks back there was news that Ryanair were seriously considering charging passengers for the use of toilet facilities on board their flights.
