  We watched the BBC 2 documentary this evening.  Very interesting. Did anyone else see it? http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/ Sex scandals, divorce and a brutal assault in Milan, 2009 was a tough year for Silvio Berlusconi. Reporter Mark Franchetti returns to the country of his birth to assess one of the world's most controversial and flamboyant leaders. Franchetti finds an Italy divided between those who love Silvio and those who hate him. His story reads like a soap opera, but, despite the public blunders and scandals, despite the allegations of Mafia collusion and financial corruption, Berlusconi seems to thrive in the face of adversity. Few other leaders could survive - can Berlusconi continue to defy his critics?

  We flew with Ryanair last week from Dusseldorf (Weeze) to Milan Bergamo.  We have used this route several times. We have also flown with Ryanair from Dusseldorf (Weeze) to Stansted, Stockholm and Barcelona.  We always travel with hand luggage.  The only times that we have been asked to weigh our bags on the big scale at security is when the plane is full.  If they don’t ask, we know that the plane is not full! So they’re not consistent with their checks.  I saw passengers with three pieces of hand luggage last week, laptop, handbag and small suitcase.  The one time we were ‘’overweight’’ by 1.5kg the check in lady told us to fill our coat pockets!  We did and when we got through the check in and security, we put it all back into our hand luggage…the mind boggles…
