Try this de Niro,
It is a rip off. I've made about 40 posts on Bluemoon in about 4 years so I'm not a professional poster , you seem to have made 52000. That's a lot of opinions. I think you need to get out more often rather than making a dick off yourself. OK, 'sunshine' ? I think we've exhausted this one.
You're the one making a dick of yourself. Do you charter planes for a living? The plane that Spike has chartered has to make 4 trips; inbound from wherever it is to Manchester, the return trip from Manchester to Rome then back to wherever it needs to be. That's four lots of fuel and four lots of crew wages, plus all the other costs. You're travelling on a scheduled flight which you can pick and choose plus they aren't too bothered if it's full or not. Also Spike's flight's from Manchester, saves having to shlep to London or wherever and gets people back for the following morning. That's quite important to some people believe it or not.
When I went to Madrid I'd just finished a freelance contract implementing a new system at one of the big banks but two of my mates Who went were still working on that job. As freelancers, we only get paid for what we do so by getting back to work the next day, they didnt lose an extra day's revenue, which is a few hundred quid. So it's worth paying say £100 extra, to ensure you earn an additional £500.
I'd love to spend a few days in Rome and could do it quite cheaply, as my loyalty points with an international hotel group means I'd get the hotel for peanuts. But with Xmas meaning more time off and no money, plus my main corporation tax bill to pay in January, I really can't afford to do a long trip for the game. So the one day trip is worth it to me.
If you're happy with what you paid then great. But give over slandering a guy who is trying to make a living.
