I was actually planning on lying in the corner and crying over being another year older ect.......
Fabio, if you feel upset for becoming 32, consider how much more upset are some people who know they won't reach this age! Or how sad some people my age should feel who have lived long but not had full lives.
I would have loved to be there for your birthday but 5 hours driving is beyond my capacity. Still my thoughts and good wishes will be with you on the day!
I don't know how to say this but most people don't photograph well or do not know how to promote themselves. It is not until you meet them face to face and talk to them that you can make up your mind whether you like them or not. And liking them has nothing to do with how they look.
I recently met a man I had some communication with in the past. That time I had rejected him in my mind because his photograph had not impressed me. But when I met him and talked to him it was 'wow! is that the guy I nearly missed out on???' We had instant rapport and I was able to see past the exterior and into this person's psyche. And what I saw was beautiful beyond description.
Now as to being fat (yes, I am allowed to use that word as I am fat, too)... if you are not comfortable in your skin, then you know what to do. It won't take forever to conform to the norms and you know what they say... if you can't beat them, join them (and then beat them!)
If you ever need a makeover, drop me a line. It's my hobby.

Sorry to hear about the breakup of your relationship. It must be very hard on you, especially as there was no indication of how her feelings had changed.
It is difficult to give advice how to deal with the breakup. Someone had told me I had to take time out and deal with my feelings but I did not listen. I began dating like crazy as soon as I had moved to my own flat. I wanted to prove that nothing can stop me living. Yet, I was so hurt inside, that I ended up talking about him all the time. I guess the men must have been in dire need of sex to sit and listen to me so patiently...
It takes a long time to come to terms with the ending of a relationship and move on. It will seem as though you are moving on but your mind will be stuck in the past, your heart will be craving the emotions of the past, your footsteps will be bringing you outside her door, you'll be checking to see if she's online on messenger hoping she'll strike up a conversation with you...
But you know what? At least you'll know you are alive emotionally, even if it hurts like hell. And with time you'll be able to trust and love again and maybe this time it will be the real thing that will last forever

Interesting link. According to the report, purchases in the departure area will be allowed on board, so one could actually buy a laptop or mobile phone or perfume...
.
It doesn't say that AT ALL...
Quote by BBC webreport
Those travelling to the US will be able to purchase goods for consumption in the airport but no additional items, other than those on the list, can be carried onto the aircraft.
At least make some effort to read the report before commenting, eh?
Jags
Before telling me off for not reading reports properly, perhaps you ought to take a better look at the story... Just one paragraph before the one you quoted, the following is stated:
Quote
Any purchases made in departure lounges will be permitted onboard aircraft, with the exception of those flying to the US
Unquote
Any purchases made in departure lounges...... ANY. I did not talk about travel to the US as I it is not where I am or plan to be in the foreseeable future.
Hope this sets the record right.
Well I have read a lot of books and his books appeal to me. I don't care what he has been voted, I never go by the ratings lists anyway. I read his books because they are entertaining and make me think and also because somewhere in there is a bit of truth that can't be said through different channels.
I am not judging Jeffrey Archer as a human being (that is up to God to do); I am just judging him as an author - now I have said that I like him and there is no point you or anyone else arguing with me about my personal preferences in authors. OK?

Now let us assume the terrorists are so well organised they have produced bomb materials and packaged them in perfume boxes identical to the real thing with the seals and all... say there is a tiny mark that only people on the know would recognise so the terrorist sympathiser seller would give the specific perfume to a customer after the exchange of a code word... that would negate all the security, wouldn't it?
What I am trying to say is that if you really want to do bad, you won't stop thinking of ways to achieve your purpose.
Also I have been reading a lot of Jeffrey Archer lately and of course I am affected. Damn! the man is a good writer.

terrorist's only solution to peace in the mddle east is to wipe Israel from the face of the earth....not something Israel could really sit down and talk about at the negoiating table is it!
OMG! Is that what terrorists are really after? All of them, wherever they are in the world, whatever faith and cultural group they represent, they are basically out to obliterate Israel? Now there's a thought I hadn't thought of before!
Yes, but once you've been through all the security checks, it does not make sense not to be allowed to put things in your pockets.
Just had another thought: so far we were allowed (depending on airline, route and class of travel) about 23 kgs hold baggage and another 10 kgs hand baggage plus another 5-6 if you had an infant travelling with you. A total of 39 kgs in my case. However, if no hand baggage is allowed, will the airlines increase the maximum permissible luggage weight? Because if it remains just 23 kgs, where the heck do I put the remainder 16 kgs?? And what about the baby's favourite toy? She'll cry all the way to London (a long 4 hour flight and 5 mins plus maybe an hour on the ground ... 5 hours 5 mins in total).
As for the thought of tasting her baby food in public, I can' t think anything more disgusting/humiliating.
Hey, maybe lactating women won't be allowed on board soon... because they may be terrorists who had surgery to place pockets of explosive liquid in their breasts and then express them in the toilet and blow up a plane. OK I am being extremely silly now but it is just an indication of WHERE DOES THE PARANOIA STOP?

Unfortunately Greeks take security very seriously and are following BA's line to the letter. What I can't understand is if I am going to be searched, X-rayed, probed... why is there a problem if I keep a sanitary pad in my pocket along with my keys, wallet and passport? Why do I have to show them that I am having that time of the month???? Am I missing something?
Good idea about the external memory stick. I am not very technologically minded so was dreading having to transfer my daughter's pics (my most precious possession in memory terms) on a CD/DVD which never ever manages to record properly - arghh! I assume it will be as simple as putting pics on my memory stick for my camera and taking them off?
OK it is for our own safety and I understand that and now that I know what is what, I can arrange my future packing not to include electronic devices or suspicious items. I am sure I can live without my laptop (give some bread to internet cafes abroad!), go back to using a disposable camera for my holiday snapshots, use payphones and buy my toiletries locally.
However, now that I am abroad with my laptop, digital camera, mobile phone etc.... what do I do?
Pack them in my suitcase? Not good as suitcases get battered so badly, I doubt my laptop would survive. Besides, it weighs a ton (well, not literally but close to depending on how tired you are...) and it wouldn't leave much space for anything else to go in.
Also not so long ago, BA planes were being targetted by a gang who identified items of value during X-ray checks and notified their members abroad about the location of luggage and items of value in them so they could break into the luggage whilst still in the hold of the aircraft and rob them. Then the owners could cry as much as they wanted about their lost property. The airlines do not take responsibility for theft from luggage.
(Does anyone remember that expose on TV? )
Would you be worried now that your stuff may not be safe? Would you insure it separately or just keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best?
And OK say you get your personal laptop stolen or mobile phone and it does not contain much top secret stuff (other than your double life as a normal citizen and an SH citizen... plus some explicit pics of your exploits perhaps). But what happens if the laptop belongs to your company and it contains important contracts, deals, company policy docs, etc. How do you safeguard those?
Are we entering a new era where nothing will be taken for granted any more? What do you think the changes will be in the way we do things?
Eager to hear your opinions.

What exactly is the price you are willing to pay - in short term loss of liberty and freedom, and in the very unfortunate loss of innocent life - in order to prevent such atrocities ?
What realistic alternatives do you have to the way things are done now ?
Stop giving people the motivation.
People can not be ground into the dirt, piling oppression on top of oppression always has the same consequences.
Change UK foriegn policy.
Educate our children to the similarities to the rest of the worlds population not the marginal differences.
Ditch the nations education of a small minded xenophobic view of the world for a more balanced enlightened one.
For me, there is no distinction between the consequences of individual suicide bombers and those who fly planes carpet bombing everything below them.

what is there to understand about someone who straps a bomb to their chest and blows themselves up taking innocent people with them......the only thing i understand is this is pure evil......terrorism is not the solution to fight your battles...
What you/we need to understand Dave is why someone would feel the need to do the things they do. Without understanding how are we to stop it?

Don't waste your breath with Da69ve, he doesn't understand other people in SH, how do you expect him to understand the very complicated reasons an innocent child turns into a terrorist!
Quote by PoloLady
People may well say it is all about money – but so is life. You may not care who owns the oil – but you would care if businesses folded – if food prices rise – if hospitals close – if your power supply became rationed.
Polo, I'd rather live a more measured (moderate) life with a few more hardships and have world peace than bask in the riches of Britain (or America or whatever country) and ignore the people dying in other parts of the world every day due to our actions/lack of action. As for businesses folding, prices rising, hospitals closing... surely you are not talking about the Thatcher era?

You must be addicted to crap then because you never fail to respond to my posts.
Fortunately, there is lots more where that 'crap' came from, and I'll save it all for you baby... even though you don't make me horny.:moon:
you my dear are another another planet.......and i'll sleep better now knowing i don't make you horny!
To paraphrase you: Do I make you angry baby?
Do I?
Do I?
Sweet dreams and call me when you wake up and smell the coffee..... :P
Shocking news, but I must say the security checks are non existent (or were till recently) at Heathrow. Just they made you take out your laptop and pass it through X-rays - big deal! In the meantime, the security surcharge that has been levied post 9/11 has been lining some pockets. Oh sorry, they did put mirrors in the galleys... I suppose that is a big expense.
My take on it is if air travel is dangerous, ban it altogether and do a favour to the environment at the same time. I was never in favour of globalisation anyway.
With regards to the PM being absent, how would your companies fare if the MD was away and a crisis broke out? Wouldn't everyone demand the immediate return of the MD who has the ultimate responsibility?

What a funny thread!
Nicky haven't you kept the box the toy came in? If you have, then it may have a price sticker from the shop you bought it?
And I have to agree with the others that said you ought to return it. Half the embarrassment will be yours and half will be theirs for selling tools that are not fit for their purpose. (I'd come with you for the fun of it but I am abroad till mid Sept and I don't think you should wait that long, so courage!)
