The Winger
Heros and Zeroes || Friday, 1 September, 2006
The Winger: The US based dance blog run by NYCB dancer Kristen Sloane is embracing blogging with gusto using several contributors from across the USA and the rest of this slightly worn out globe. Winger uses images and video blogging to good effect and is an excellent example to all that blogging about dance can be interesting and you don't have to do it on your own.
We also admire the fact that Ms Sloane is not afraid to show her own face in videos and photos which is a practice frowned upon here in TheLab™
Easyjet: And the rest of these budget airline muppets. Easyjet announced today that they will be charging passengers for every extra bag they want to put in the hold because UK airport restrictions mean more bags have to go in the hold. They say it's about security we say it's about raking in more cash.
Budget airlines have managed to introduce 'Cattle Class' into air-travel and get away with it and their staff need a good kick up the backside as well as finishing their training in unimportant tasks like 'customer service'.
A special mention for 'Prat Of The Week' goes to Easyjet spokesman Toby Nicholl who said, to the BBC, "We've seen in the past three weeks an explosion in the amount of baggage put in holds and it is delaying check-ins."
Rather unfortunate choice of words there Toby.
Stumble It!
