Yeah, but you try getting Ryanair to pay up.

Some years back my flight from BRQ to STN was delayed by something over six hours because one of their aircraft had broken down somewhere in the UK. Ryanair claimed that they didn't have to pay out because of circumstances beyond their control. I had hours of fun wasting their time and money chasing that one but they never paid.

I know Paul. In the meantime looks like some lightning hit the aircraft fuelling system at Stansted leaving planes unable to refuel. I can see from here our plane is already flying back Naples so I expect to board within 2 hours.

Just got a mass mailing from a relatively well respected regional ISP indicating fiber to the home may be available in my neighborhood next year, offering approximately a 400-fold jump up from my current wimpy and sometimes unreliable low-speed DSL bandwidth, for a better price too!
