Actually recent studies have shown that regular use of a treadmill and change of diet has been shown to reduce thyroid issues in a lot of people....

These people are been barricaded into their hotels because Thomas Cook hasn't paid the hotel owners. So one can understand their angst.

No they're not. They should be treated with the contempt that they deserve, they are stupid lazy people who expect everyone else to sort their (most likely self inflicted) problems. Fcuk her, I hope she runs low on her medication and is forced into using her tiny brain to fend for herself for once.

Ah now. The first thing we did when we got the keys to the gaff was to intern our own. DeValera ran this country like a tyrant during WW2, when he thought nobody was looking (in fairness, nobody was) and even started executing people for non-murder crimes. Behold a beam is in thine own eye.

Anyway back on topic, I'm surprised to hear on the News that "only" 2,500" Irish people are affected by the TC cessation of trading. Is this going to result in a cost to the Irish Exchequer in bringing those people back to their point of origin?

Hopefully not. I pay travel insurance for a very good reason. If you can afford a foreign holiday, you can afford to insure it.

Agree, I was only poking a bit of fun, wasn't being serious.

Surely in an instance like this, reimbursing governments for repatriating people should be high up on the list when assets get liquidated.

Regarding the hotels, who is their contract with I wonder, Thomas Cook or the holiday maker directly?

Yea but that'd impinge on yer drinking money, saving on the insurance would probably mean another three pints!

I always think those people are keeping fares low for the rest of us so I just indulge them in their clapping.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/sep/22/thomas-cook-holidaymakers-kept-inside-tunisia-hotel-over-unpaid-bill-fears

Thomas Cook customers in Tunisia have been involved in a standoff with a hotel owner who barricaded holidaymakers inside a resort due to fears that the struggling holiday firm would not be able to pay bills.

Guests at the Orangers hotel in the coastal town of Hammamet spoke of being locked inside their resort on Saturday until a 6,000 Tunisian dinar (£1,680) fee was paid before they were allowed to leave for their flight, or even to visit a shop.

The were eventually allowed leave on Sunday.

Had the joy of experiencing it on a Ryanair flight this summer.

The weird thing is that you never get one imbecile trying to start a round of applause on any other regular airline (I don't know about charter flights). So either the plane-seals only ever fly Ryanair, or they're self-aware enough not to do it when out of their natural habitat.

More to do with diminishing reliance on travel agents, and sterling losing one-sixth of its value, which will have demolished TC's profit margins.

Owen Jones has written a very interesting book about pejorative stereotypes regarding working class Britons, it is called "Chavs" and I suggest it is very much worth reading, whether you like Owen Jones or not.
