'I'd be put off if he asked to split it': Who should pay on a first date? 2 days ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Yasmin Rufo BBC Few topics divide opinion quite like who should pay on a first date. Ask a group of friends and you'll likely get a dozen different answers. Some insist the bill should always be split equally, others believe the person who sets up the date should pay and despite changing attitudes towards gender roles, many still see a man picking up the bill as a romantic gesture rather than an outdated tradition. With cocktails regularly topping 15, restaurant bills climbing and many keeping a close eye on their budgets, even a casual evening out can quickly become expensive. Adults across the UK spend more than 111 per month on dates and dating apps, equating to more than 1,300 per year, according to research from Barclays in 2025 , For under 30s in particular, cost is a great barrier as over half of Gen Z adults feel the expense impacts thei...

O'Leary extends Ryanair contract in deal that could net him over £130m

O'Leary extends Ryanair contract in deal that could net him over 130m 2 days ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Ross McKee BBC News NI PA Media Since Michael O'Leary became Ryanair chief executive in 1994, it has grown from a relatively small regional airline into Europe's largest low-cost carrier Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary has extended his contract to 2032, in a deal featuring a bonus scheme that could earn him more than 150m ( 130m). Since becoming chief executive in 1994, Ryanair has grown from a relatively small regional airline into Europe's largest low-cost carrier. If O'Leary remains at the Ryanair group until April 2032, he would be granted the option of buying 10 million shares at 26.70 per share if annual profit reached 4 billion or if the share price exceeds 42 for 28 successive days. "Achievement of these very ambitious targets would create substantial additional value for all Ryanair shareholders," Ryanair said in a statement. Ryanair group chairman Stan McCarthy said that in spring, the company's board had "commenced discussions" with O'Leary on his contract. "I am pleased to report that this process, which included extensive engagement with Ryanair's largest shareholders, has successfully concluded with Michael agreeing to extend his leadership of the Ryanair Group for the next six years to April 2032, for the benefit of all shareholders," he added. Last year, it was reported that O'Leary was on track to pocket bonuses worth more than 100m. This was after shares in the budget airline closed above 21 ( 17.65) for a 28th consecutive day in May 2025, meeting a key performance target.
