The Beast of Girona
Yesterday lunchtime the Beast of Girona wasn't on duty: Ryanair and ground staff were all very pleasant and ladies were allowed a handbag in addition to their carry-on luggage. However FR9228 was forgotten by the ATC and left parked ten minutes after doors were closed until the crew asked for pushback and startup.

P.S. Oh and Hombre who wrote: Last time I looked, General Franco won the Civil War and accordingly Castillian remains the official language of Espana.
Might come as a surprise to you that the official language of Catalunia is Catalan, and this is the main language taught in schools - Castilliano is taught as a second language on a level with French and German and English. And don't try to get a job here with any organisation if you don't speak Catalan: you'd be refused and the courts will back the employer.
Incidently Franco didn't win the Civil War: the Catalans lost it and it was their own fault for fighting amongst themselves.
