    I don't think Goatse adds much. The whole place needs a ton of education, much like you'd give a "crap with computers" relative. Don't do X,Y,Z. Filtered? I'm sure they'll get that as default.

    I submit to you the life story of Mr Tommy Flowers. Inventor of all that be digital; but couldn't get funding. Built the equipment to help win the war himself with colleagues. All innovation kept secret and nothing made of it apart from listening to communications after the war. The UK could have been the number one in computers in the 40s- betting IBM with everything. We also have the bedrock of coders from the 80s. No shortage of top skills in the UK; but most billionaires seem to be Americain. And not many UK top 10 billionaires are in I.T. - Investment and a Can-do attitude makes the septics awesome.

    Ryanair are entertaining
    Ages ago when I did use them, I was sat at the back of a Ryanair flight. The plane (98% full of people) was readying to take off and 4 flight attendants performed their head count. Each came up with a different number. They each did it 3 times over. Each getting different numbers every time. I was going to suggest just counting empty seats; but that would confused I'm sure.
    In the end, a huge classic East German looking lady barreled on, counted everyone up and told the flight attendants off. It was a terrifying flight home as I wondered if the pilots were also that thick.

    You can read all the T&Cs you like. The problem was not having a flight home and having to shell out 5 times the price to get a ticket from another airline. They were happy to refund my ticket mind you. That helped get a coffee. I save more if I pay more upfront with another airline.
