Judge awards Dubliner $5000 after Ryanair burnt his genitals

This is why Yanks prefer iced tea--maybe stain, but no pain.

No frills? this is ridiculous not even a teaspoon to stir your tea!

Your headline caused me to envisage Michael O'Le[e]ry flicking a cigarette lighter under some passengers pubes in those impossible airline toilets - which can castrate a male if flushed whist seated due to forceful pressure. Surely calling a pretty former east-bloc babe for assistance could have inflated (ahem!) the problem. Looks like Ryanair the now the no [th]rills airline.

Could you give me the air craft and seat number I will be flying with Ryanair this summer, and with my pair I could double that amount.

Wow ! whats with all the "Irish" Bit's in a sling ? There is another article about female genital mutilation on right now as well ? Native's best be sitting on a shamrock with Your legs crossed 24/7..sheesh ..?

O'Leary really does have penis envy.

They have been selling Hot Nuts on Ryanair ever since!

JimmieM, I thought of that too! jamieLM, I remember the McDonald's case. A lawyer later told a group I was in that we all read the initial story. What we don't read is the result of the appeal. It turns out that the laibility to McDonald's was greatly reduced, on appeal.

Reminds me of the woman who put a cup of hot coffee from MacDonalds between her legs while riding in a car. She also cashed in. Maybe the tray was faulty, but you'd think adults would know to be extra careful when handling hot liquids, especially on a plane that can experience turbulence at any time.

I think the tea would have cooled off while he was going to the bathroom?...maybe he picked up an easy $5,000.
