Staggeringly amazingly unbelievable!
« on: February 27, 2010, 01:39:26 PM »
An airline passenger ate his ?8,930 winning scratch card after he was told he could not claim the money immediately, it has emerged.
The unnamed man was flying with Ryanair from Krakow in Poland to East Midlands Airport when he won 10,000 euros with the scratch card.
 

Crew on board the flight confirmed he had won the prize but told the passenger he would have to collect the jackpot directly from the company that runs the competition as it was such a large sum.
Ryanair said the man then became frustrated and started to eat his winning ticket, ruling out any chance he had of claiming the prize money which will now be donated to charity.
Stephen McNamara, a spokesman for the airline, said: "Passengers have always been delighted to claim their large cash prizes after returning home.
"Unfortunately our latest winner felt that we should have his 10,000 euros prize kicking around on the aircraft."
The airline is now asking passengers to vote online to decide where the money should go, after the win on Thursday. Voting will take place until March 5 at www.ryanair.com.


I cannot get my head around the fact that absolutely anyone could be so devastatingly absolutely thick, ever. eeek:

I sometimes wonder why I bother posting in here, I really do.  Shrugs:

I post a quite frankly almost unbelievable story of the greatest of unbelievabilities, and all you can do is ask is he a scouser and flying with Ryanair.
Give me ruddy strength. Banghead

THIS/THAT is not the point I was TRYING to make.
No,I was merely stating my staggering utter astonishment and disbelief that someone with the seemingly obvious brain size of a flea, could actually EAT his 'passport' to 8 thousand pounds!

Who his carrier is/was is of absolute no consequence whatsoever.

He's got to have some kind of mental illness surely  noooo:

As for flying with Ryanair / Easyjet I'm sure most of us will have done that here. They serve a purpose - you gets what you pay for
