Morning all. Yesterday on my flight from Bordeaux to Birmingham a young man collapsed and stopped breathing. The @Ryanair staff & a combat medic leaped into action and revived him in an amazing act of calm teamwork. It was very impressive and definitely saved his life.. however

Friday night and I should have an 80 sear terrace set up. However,I’ve had to come in ( 60kms), bring in extra security and remove most of my terrace as social media is full of threats to smash all the shops & restaurants in my part of town. Wankers.
