Angry Ryanair-captains airside ID bad-Student card good

Foolishly pitched up for a UK internal flight with Ryan clutching my BAA Airside ID complete with sexy "captain" photo.They require "photo ID"-Fair enough.Point blank refused boarding as on page 23 of the T&C's it clearly states that only a passport,picture driving licence,National ID Card or STUDENT ID are acceptable forms of identification.Yep,the student ID you faked when you were 17 to get into pubs.
Left wife and baby in tears at check in,drove like a loony to get home for passport,pitched up for next flight to have same staff glance for a microsecond at said document-paid hefty "handling fee" and got on next flight.
Peed off? Just a bit.Who needs common sennse when you've got "policy"??
