We see it time and again when people win money or have a lot of money. They go wild and make an absolute hash of things. I'd be the first in line to hoof him in the nuts. What a moron!

food you get on planes

It was a Ryan air flight, no such thing

Although you can probably buy peanuts and a beer for 50 euros!

Well, I know for sure a Brit wouldnt have eaten it :D Valuable beer money! The flight was going to Poland so I deduced from that he was Polish.

For sure. Inference is similar but has more of an intellectual feel to it. Inferential treatment :)

Just the meal ticket

A Ryanair passenger who became enraged when he was told he could not claim a scratchcard prize on his flight ate his winning ticket.

The man was flying from Poland to the East Midlands on a Ryanair flight when he won 10,000 euros (£8,765) on a scratchcard he had purchased on board.

Ryanair confirmed he ate his ticket on 26 February after cabin staff refused to pay him the winnings immediately.

The airline said it could not reveal the winner's identity.

Ryanair spokesman Stephen McNamara said the cabin crew and some passengers urged the man not to eat the ticket, but he stood up and ate it anyway.

It happened on a Ryanair flight. It's probably a part of their marketing strategy (which is known of being controversial).

Blimey he was bright? Are these the educated Poles they keep telling us about that are working in the UK?

What does it have to do with the whole thing anyway? Why are you using plural while it was only one man, and it was probably just a marketing action?

Yup, no doubt. More free publicity drummed up by O'Leary.

Hes a figment of O'Learys vivid imagination.
