schadenfreude

"malicious joy in the misfortunes of others," 1922, from Ger., lit. "damage-joy," from schaden "damage, harm, injury" (see scathe) + freude, from O.H.G. frewida "joy," from fro "happy," lit. "hopping for joy," from P.Gmc. *frawa- (see frolic).

I had to look that one up.

I'm not sure how much malicious joy is around on this thread - but there are some desperate pleas for lhr CC to be realistic. I don't imagine that any individual CSD on £80k+ will bring BA down, nor will some of those paid below £20k, but the collective attempt at imitating the Yorkshire miners is a concern.
