Now if the airlines would charge for excess emotional baggage ...

Ryanair seems to have won its place in our hearts as the airline we love to hate. But that doesn't stop us using it - it just enables us to engage in our favourite English passtime of moaning and whinging.

The recent publicity is about the possibility of Ryanair increasing its aircraft capacity by 50% by putting in in "bar stools" in the place of regular airline seats.

And that got me thinking. They could make a lot more money by charging people for the excess emotional baggage that some people drag around with them where-ever they go. Me and my shadow.

Wouldn't it be great if we could clean out our psyche and throw away the old stuff before we got on the plane or train. Then there'd be no emotional eruptions or seething resentments or projections to disrupt the holiday or the team meeting.

Ah well, better stick to finding the holiday books to hide away behind.
