    I suppose you can if you can't think of any response other than passive-agressive behaviour.

    Travelling in economy class isn't much fun for anyone now a days but being tall doesn't entitle you to extra space on the aircraft. Though if you feel a bit cramped, you could always try and recline your seat........;)


    Ms Lauren, are you not supposed to be in court in Ennis as we speak:D

    Well experience has told me that asking politely doesn't work, so being "passive aggressive" is probably better than being outright aggressive and rude to somebody :)

    I'm not looking for extra space I just expect to have the space I have paid for originally not to be disrupted, whilst having the good manners not to bother the poor innocent soul behind me who is also not reclining their chair.

    I had better stop or I'll certainly overstep the trivial mark :pac:

    I will probably ( along with a few others I will not mention) go back to therapy;)

    The incessant chatter about weddings in any office... engagement rings, venues, dresses... never-fcuking-ending

    People using their phones hands free for no good reason.

    Good reasons: you're driving, carrying stuff, have no hands.

    Ordering a pint in the pub and it being served to you tomorrow, I know it's trivial but I would like my drink before my 90th birthday.

    In fairness it's not too often you'll meet a girl who drinks pints. I do know one of my mates alright who lamps back pints of Guinness, but I don't go drinking with her too often... I can't smell a thing, but everyone around us thinks I'm the guilty party when she releases her noxious fumes... :(

    "Tharrr she blows", as yer man says in Moby Dick! :D


    EDIT: I can't smell a thing anyway because I have no sense of smell, but my frickin' ears still work, I can still hear it! :pac:

    Fair enough. And don't get me wrong - I would certainly prefer if the person in front didn't recline. But by the same logic, I would also prefer if the seat beside me was vacant on every flight. :)

    The question is where does the space you paid for begin and end? i.e. Does it include the fresh air in front of you or behind you?

    I have no desire to inconvenience the person behind me but if I feel I have to sit bolt upright (with perhaps a reclined seat in front of me), then it is I (and only I) that is inconvenienced.

    As I said, consideration goes both ways.....

    Well, it had a good run, but the time has come. The hamsters will drop dead soon if we don't lock this up.

    And in case anyone was wondering....I still have that poxy spoon.
