rambrutri Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) I was unfortunate to be on this flight sat near this idiot . It was Bangkok to Manchester and this low life nearly put me off flying for life. I've only just found out what happened to him as I've been out of the UK for a while. He was shouting at one point about thai cops spliting his head open with a baton. I can easily understand why. A PLANE passenger who went on a drunken rampage after being served too much booze has been sent to prison for eight months."Mr Flanagan is a well-travelled man and has travelled many times before and never behaved like this. "He has a child by a lady in Thailand that he has never seen. "He sends £40 a week to Thailand for his son and has described his anguish of wanting to be reunited with his son." Judge Jonathan Geake said: "You must recognise the level of upset and impact your behaviour had on your fellow passengers. "You have, at the age of 43, a very poor criminal record. http://www.nwemail.co.uk/news/1.501285 Edited April 1, 2009 by rambrutri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabum Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 He has a very poor criminal record? Well is that a good thing or bad? Is having a good criminal record mean you have one listing as long as your arm and a bad one is a measly 2 or 3 crimes? Or vice versa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilHarries Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 "He has a child by a lady in Thailand that he has never seen. Well he must have seen her some time. It's scum like this that make it tough on the rest of us who like a drink whist travelling. Shame he didn't behave like this on the Bangkok to Abu Dhabi leg, I'm sure the authorities there would have provided tea and a sympathetic ear for him. I'm a little surprised firstly that the flight staff served him booze and secondly that they didn't cuff hiim. Oh well another fine example of British gentlemanly behaviour, trouble is they won't even be able to confiscate his passport for a few years as it would be against his human rights.

peter991 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Just wondering if he will go on a 'blacklist' and will be refused travel out of England on ANY airline as a result of his behaviour. People who can't control themselves on aircraft do not deserve any sympathy once they reach 3 years of age. Being drunk is NO excuse.

xminator Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 People who can't control themselves on aircraft do not deserve any sympathy once they reach 3 years of age. Being drunk is NO excuse. People are not machines. Sometimes people break for no aparent reason. There is a reason why we have psychiatrists and mental hospitals. Flying is a stressfull situation, with lots of people close on you and alchohol can trigger deeper emotional reactions. I can sympatise with those that get upset when a fellow passenger ruins their flight. Noone want anything out of rutine when flying. So take a step back, taste that feeling and realise that its probably the same feeling that sent this guy over the edge. Next time it could be YOU having a panic attack.

MSingh Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Why is this Man referred to as a " Dad " in the Title ?? He isn't a Dad, he might be the natural Father to the Child but he isn't a Dad, that's for sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambrutri Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Sounds like a real SCUM BAG! Its a pity somebody didnt sit him on his backside during the flight Someone did when the plane landed just before the police got on. There was a big cheer on the plane and was never mentioned to the police. If this guy has never seen his kid its probably because there isnt one and some Beer bar girl is on £40 a week for free.
