We had a neighbor once whose child would chase cars.
Laddie, I’ve taken Ryanair before. Not worth running after.
I gotta be honest. I know that feeling.
ETA: But Amsterdam? It ain’t worth it. Just take a train.
That would be a rather wet journey from Dublin, don’t you think?
Fine. A ferry then a train.
Running after a ferry might also be interesting… The Irish are said to be fiercely catholic, so maybe he would run on the water. That said, running after a jet plane also makes sense if you want to be close to God. O_o
Cue the Indiana Jones theme and scrolling map view.
Stop talking about me.
Since he was trying so hard to catch a Ryanair flight he might consider an insanity defense.
That’s crazy.
What was he going to do if he DID catch it?
Well he took the term “taxiing” literally and he was waving to flag it down apparently…
I mean, what could go wrong?
Irishmen, running, etc.
Did you hear the one about the Irishman who ran after the plane?
As an aside, for some reason I assumed the chunnel would be cooler looking. Possibly glass walls, or at least a kind of weird cavern. I was disappointed the walls seemed so close the window it’s almost claustrophobic.
Did he think he could catch it or make it stop in mid take off? It ain’t the movies buddy.
I am surprised that didn’t work
It’s Ok…he’s a limo driver!
It works for the bus, why shouldn’t they be able to open the door and have him jump in.
