    Seems like a fine idea to me, especially if I'm one of the 6.
  • Any badness will be negated by this, albeit with the top 3rd ridden instead of wussing out and using the ferry.

    Oh ,forgot to say Bergamo is not a Milan airport. Ryan Air list Bergamo as being a Verona airport, which it also isn't. Are they calling it Milan as well? Mind you, it's not much further than Malpensa, which is indeed ill thought.
  • Its always been Milan Bergamo as long as I've known it, however I will accept orio al serio for an extra point.

    I was lying, it's Brescia that Ryanair call Verona. Begins with B and on the A4 so it's near enough for my tiny mind I guess.
    Anyway, regardless of my airport snobbery, am I one of the six?

    Bergamo is more pleasant than Milan IMHO.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Even if you are one of the six the infant addition will ruin the whole trip - unless you can palm it off to a nanny or there is some serious yummy mummyage going on (which obviously we will need nork pics of for evidence).

    Not my infant so not my problem. Hang on, will that scupper my chances? Love kids, hang on is that a bit "now then, now then"? Sod this, I don't think I'm one of the lucky 6.

    NegativHost rider - still your problem:

    Fancy a glass of wine? Sorry, breast feeding.
    Fancy staying out late? Sorry, have to get the kid to bed.
    Fancy some peace and quiet? Waaaah waaaaah waaaah went the child.
    Fancy waving your hands in the air like you just don't care? No, sorry, you're carrying the nappies, feed bags, change of clothes.....
    Fancy some nookie? No sorry, the stitches are still in.
    Fancy norkage? Sorry, they still lactate.
    Fancy chatting to some beautiful Signora? No, you got baggage with you.
    Fancy annoying everyone on the flight due to screaming pooing annoying infant? Yup, that's the winner........

    All true, and as you well know babies will get you lots of attention in Italy. Much like dogs here. Problem is you can't do anything about it.

    Exactly. It's lots of stopping in the street, cooing of infant, petting of infant then they walk off without even a glimpse of norkage.

    Meanwhile you have an early night watching fukkkkking Domenica In again ..........
