QuoteThe duty Customer Services manager was very sympathetic and helpful - I have to confess to shaking a bit by this stage. They bagged Larry up for freezing to send to head office

What, are they trying to revive him?

Air travel is actually by far the most strike-prone industry in Germany. That's because every niche job (air traffic control, ground staff, security personnel, airport administration, cabin staff, pilots, etc.) has their own union and collective bargaining agreements and if just one of these many groups strike, the whole complex system doesn't work anymore.

I was once on an Air France flight from Paris to Detroit when the airline food service workers went on strike.  For the airline meal we had baguette with a side of baguette.  :frog:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

This is all getting rather meta.
I eagerly await the first article about all the articles that emerged about a woman finding a locust in her salad.

This has certainly gone on longer than 15 minutes.

Derlocust is right; Larry needs his own Twitter account.

From the article:

QuoteWhen asked if she had been driven to vegetarianism, Baker said: "No, because I'd worry about ordering a salad!" She added she might ask her chef boyfriend for some locust recipes.

You want to share some details on the boyfriend?   :)
