They’re all about ‘having the craic’ in Ryanair, aren’t they?
As we all know, the lads at Ryanair are a laid back and easygoing bunch who are always up for having a laugh, and don’t worry too much about listening to ‘The Man’ and following his regulations.
Or at least that’s what they hope to be seen as when they announced a few weeks ago that they wanted to be a bit more loveable after being surprised by the news that everyone hates them.
With that in mind, Michael O’Leary has taken to Twitter today with this funny picture of him in a hat and red nose, using text language, and having a Q&A session with their followers.

Some questions were serious, some not so serious. Here’s a prime example of the latter from a man who’s hoping to start 2014 with a brand new divorce:
#AskRyanair what's the excess baggage charge for my 23 stone wife? And can you arrange for her to end up at a different destination to me?

MOL was taking a few of the gag questions in good spirit too, with topics ranging from Chris Hughton and Norwich to Whoopi Goldberg’s eyebrows.

And, as you might expect, there was no shortage of wit from the man himself either:
