Come fly with me …
Mrs Sane and I need to go to the Netherlands in October for the christening of our godchild.
Contrary to popular belief, booking flights at the last minute doesn’t get you a cheap ticket. In fact, it generally gets you a more expensive ticket because someone will pay through the nose if they absolutely have to get that flight at the last minute.
Anyway, with plenty of notice we should be able to get some cheap flights, right? Well actually, yes, we can get cheap flights. We can get two tickets for £9.99 each off Ryanair if we leave from Stanstead and fly to Eindhoven (bit of a way from here to Stanstead but Eindhoven is the closest the other end).
So I’m happy, yeah? No, I’m not. The airport taxes which El Gordo has hiked up in the name of the fucking global warming scam bring the total price up to the £75 mark. Bastard.

Flying into Gordotaxland. But the Parr family crest should get you a discount, no?
