Just had RYR3243 take a massive shortcut on approach to 23R, went directly over my house on base leg at about 2000/2500ft and turned final at 1500ft. It was Ryanair so what do you expect

Has anyone ever seen a flight take that big of a shortcut on approach?
I saw a few one day a couple of years ago, EK777 first caught my eye taking a short cut over Salford Quays, turned on to finals about 5 miles out, but that was some serious wx avoiding. Pilots refused to go 10 miles, can't say I blame them, cell looked pretty mean. Great spotting for me though
