So now Ryanair are after discovering Charlie´s Bar and will start to fly to Lanzarote from November!
I knew you would wake up some time, Mike! Charlie´s Bar customers don’t mind standing in a tin can for 4 hours, or holding on to their bladder with vicegrips until they reach the airport terminal, and baggage allowances don’t really concern them either, because Charlies customers usually don’t wear a lot of clothes anyway!
Jasus Mike, it would be very unfriendly of you not to come down yourself and say hello if you can afford the extra charges. If not, we can have a whip around some night in our “Asylum”!
I know Ryanair probably don’t do Christmas parties, but some of the staff might like to get together and join us at one of our Christmas parties in Cork, Dublin or Galway, with FREE TOILET FACILITIES AND SEATS FOR ALL THOSE OVER SIXTEEN YEARS OLD (at their own expense of course). Relax and take a deep breath!
See you soon Mike.

Yes Taoiseach, this whole situation has come about by greed. The problem is, why this wasn’t seen long ago and that the relevant legislation wasn’t put in place to help those greedy bastards to control themselves, because they couldn’t contol their greed, and that should have been seen in advance.
On the other side of the coin, we, as a small nation, have no control over the world-wide situation, which is today at least the USA and the UK, and we are just riding along with what has gone on. Fair play to you for taking the plunge with this guarantee, but every leader in the future must understand that human greed must be controlled. I am totaly agaist excessive legislation, but why are ye after f*cking up the Irish culture with your legislation and forgot to control what really was important to control?
Aomeone, somewhere lost sight of the big picture and they were counting pennies with smoking rules etc. but forgot to control the f*cking *greed* properly – which has lead to, and will lead to more, deaths from stress and financial pressure than any smoking will ever do. It’s like checking the upholstery in the car and forgetting about the engine. Stick with reality Mr Cowen, drop the bullshit and know the difference, which is the most important part. It seems to me that you understand that anyway, thank God, even if a little late. When all is settled down a little and you have had a chance to have a week with your family, fly down here to Lanzarote and come to Charlie´s, and there will be a pint of the plain standing on the counter with your name on it. Cheers.
I genuinely pray to God for your health, Brian, and wellbeing in these difficult times. Head down, like a bull, and a*se to the wind. Blink for no one, trust your own instincts and drive on like f*ck, and it will all work out for the simple reason that I know you genuinely want what’s best for the Irish nation, above all else. Good luck.

Ok, the price of fuel is more expensive in Ireland, but that’s where the comparison ends. The taxi that took me home from Charlie´s last night at 04.29 am charged me €2.70. The drive is approx. 7 minutes or 3 km. If I got the same taxi in Ireland, it would cost me at least €8.
The Irish taxi drivers tell you that the Canarian taxi drivers are picking up €3 every 10 minutes, but that’s simply not correct. Any night that you want to look out the window of Charlie´s you will see at least twenty taxis waiting for a fare, and if you watch the last one to join the queue, they are waiting at least 40 minutes before moving, and most of the time even longer.
This is a crazy situation where the Irish taxi is way overpriced and the Canarian taxi is way underpriced. If a person sits for a minimum of 45 minutes on a rank at 4am to get a €2.70 fare, there is something seriously wrong! It’s an embarassment to hand a man €2.70 at this hour of the morning, when he drives you home in a spotless Mercedez Benz. I’m not encouraging inflation or ripping people off, but every man is entitled to make a living, and especially those who are working at 4 am in the morning. Why can’t both the Irish taxi driver and the Canarian charge €5 for the fare, with some little adjustment for the price of fuel up or down as appropriate?
There was a time when the Canarian taxi driver was picking up fares every second minute, but that´s history now. The reasons are either because they issued more taxi licences, or there are less tourists around. They may have issued more licences to cover peak times, but I still got a taxi on the last day of July (peak season) at 4 am for €2.70.
This is simply not right. Can someone fix this, please? I have Charlie´s Bar here in Lanzarote and I don’t want to see prices going up on anything for tourists, but I also don’t want to see people’s souls being broken while trying to make a living to support their families.
Charlie´s is the best live music venue on all the Canarian islands and we don´t rip people off with the price of drink. ENJOY!
Someone wake up fast please, both in Ireland and the Canaries….
