Tangentially accordion related
Won’t anyone think of the children? Specifically the boy at the end just waiting for the blocked aisle to clear so he can get to the loo?

I like some accordion music. I do not want to hear an impromptu recitation of any live instruments in the narrow, cramped confines of an airplane in the middle of boarding…
If the problem was the size of the thing relative to overhead storage, that’s a cut and dried situation. It is or it isn’t. Unless that was the first time in his entire life the accordion guy had ever even seen an airplane, he knew or should have known there are restrictions.
Even if he normally traveled in "live goats are OK’ class on some seriously backwater airline this would still be the case.
I’d be more sympathetic to your claim if the accordionist hadn’t busted out an Irish tune.

What does that mean, though, “accordion music”? Do you just mean the genres of music (such as polkas) that are typically played on them? It’s like saying you hate guitar music when you mean country and western or something.

This is Ryanair. They beat all their customers up.

That’s the kind of crazy Irish things I love. A bit like Irish supporters in France for the Euro 2016.

I play D&D with Clyde’s nephew. 
Or at least, one of his nephews; don’t know if he had more. He’s missed, though; he was definitely a star in the accordion firmament.

The plane was met on the tarmac by a police SWAT team armed with bagpipes.

i am also inclined to believe this.
if you’ve ever sat in an ryanair or aer lingus seat you’ll know that this was the gougiest part of your bill. even in the video you can see they are practically folding chairs with covers crammed even closer together then US coach class.

Q) What’s the difference between a pizza and an accordionist?

I’d agree it’s probably staged (which usually makes me cringe) but… it’s timely, clever, and done in warm spirits. Made me smile. I’ll defer to a pro, though:

FYI, this reads as more than a little racist.

You’re over-thinking it, again.
An English tune please. Ewan MacColl was born in Salford to Scottish parents.
