I can't see how a tourist hot spot is a good place for swinging. By the broadest definition - consenting adults meeting by mutual agreement for recreational sex. Unless you can find people who swing there, you're not swinging. I'm sure many of the girls (best check age and gender first btw) are wiling enough - but are they swingers? I doubt it. Do non-residents visit with the intention of swinging? Possibly - I've not been so I wouldn't know. But wouldn't it be easier to meet those same people here?
It just seems odd to go to places famous for their sex trade to find swingers.
Blindness or deteriorated eyesight was always quoted as a possible result of measles.
My son got measles at 4 months old - ages before he was due for his official jab. Why? Because some moron of a woman, who should under no circumstances have been allowed to breed in the first place, thought it was a good idea to take her sick 4 year-old - spots, temperature and listlessness clear evidence of a viral infection - to a clinic for 1 month old babies - the toddler had measles!!!!!!! It's perfectly possible that she infected most if not all of the babies that had been taken to the clinic to ensure their good health and development.
Luckily he didn't seem to get any of the long-term effects. (He's 25 now but it still makes me angry to think of such casual thoughtlessness.)
Help! I am running the FB page for our village hall. I have managed to set that as my homepage and cannot get back to being me. How do I switch the default FB homepage back to my identity?
Yuck. But it looks like it was a temporary situation. Mind you, anyone on any UK beach this week is barking mad.
It is never a good thing to have to pump raw sewage into 'public' water. I used to go to Scarborough regularly as a child. I reckon I'm immune to everything from stomach bugs to dyptheria now.
If they spend any time in general population they will last about 1 day. Can you imagine them facing 400 men and women who haven't seen their own kids in years and worry every single day if they are being bullied or hurt while they, the parents, aren't there to look after them.
Even paedophiles rarely kill, or wish to kill, their young victims and are likely to turn on this lot. Which means segregation may not be enough to protect them. I hope.
I'm sure there are enough flights within one airline for them to calculate an average weight per passenger and calculate the per passenger fuel requirement for any given flight. I am certain they are doing that already.
They then have to control the other variable weight impact - that being the passengers' luggage weights. Hence charging for overweight luggage.
The other controllable weights are what the airline choose to add to the cabin - food/drink carts, number of cabin crew (dictated by safety minimums and agreed service levels), the extras like in flight magazines.
Airframe and engine manufacturers have been working for decades on reducing fuel consumption. The savings by improved engine efficiency alone have been huge. Lightweight paints, plastic or composite fixtures and fittings, fewer repeat/redundant systems and components enabled by better and better manufacturing and inspection methods.
They could certainly cut weight one way - get rid of food/drink on short flights. It's pointless and only there because most airlines charge stupid money for a coke and sandwich.
To be honest the only thing on an aircraft whose weight per seat has increased is the passenger. (aircraft carry more people so are naturally heavier, but the weight is spread among more people)
But, I believe that airlines that start charging per passenger kilo are on a hiding to losing business and they are already allowing for our weight, just averaged across the full passenger list.
I can see what you mean. But how to enforce it - I have 6 first cousins that I know of, about half their parents are still living, 2 blood nephews and goodness knows how many by marriage (one branch breed like rabbits). Of them I have met 1 recently. I have communicated with 1 other in the last year.
I could see me having to 'help out' people I haven't seen in 20 years and couldn't pick out in a line-up. And don't care much about come to that. I would rather help my friends - on here, from work, from the vanilla world.
Put it this way - I wouldn't stand as a loan guarantor for most of my 'family' but I could name 10 friends off the top of my head that I would stand for.
Let's not lose sight of the fact that this individual KNEW it was dark and KNEW she was in an area not set up for 'customers' to use. Therefore she should have taken extra care of her OWN safety. She didn't - she fell. Tough.
Exploring dark corners of outside places is part of her job. Why did she not get the torch from her car? I'm pretty sure a torch would be a standard part of the police equipment. She chose not to supply herself with appropriate safety equipment. Tough.
I really can;'t see any claim standing up in court, But the police have got better things to spend their time and money on. I assume she is hoping for a nice out of court settlement and preferably an easy way out of her job with a nice little handout. If I was her boss I'd be spending a bit of time exploring her financial background.
They may occur in the same (twisted) mindset, but they aren't the same thing. Nor do they have to always go together. I think you are right about the casual link between fascists we are familiar with and their policies that end up being racist (or culturist) too.
I wouldn't invite either to dinner.
If you think thinner people will be charged less than they are now - go for it. But you and I know that will not happen.
Personally, I am 16 stone. If they start charging by the pound to fly I have a simple solution. I won't fly if I am paying. Work can pay for me to travel. But there are thousands of places I can visit without flying. I will go there. Flying to go on holiday is not compulsory nor is it the only option.
Just to clarify - a few examples of inappropriate but equal.
Free school meals for all children - not necessary (and therefore a waste of our resources) for many as their families can afford to pay for lunch.
Providing sanitary towels in men's toilets - or alternatively refusing to supply them in the ladies cos men don't need them. (Ok silly example but you get the point.)
Not providing signers in schools, workplace learning or in the courts. If you are deaf your access to learning or a fair trial is compromised or removed entirely if a signer cannot be found. Very few deaf people could afford their own so one has to be provided.
Another word for appropriate has already been used - fairness.
I am fully aware that full equality (like so many deals) is not possible or expected. Is that a reason not to strive towards it?
If you want something weird try The Last Rites of Ransom Pride.
On a related theme, can I introduce people to . They are a relatively small charity who help military personnel that find themselves injured and being hospitalised. When they first arrive either in a field hospital or that one in Birmingham they use a lot, they may have nothing but their shot-up clothing.
The help is in the simple form of a Grab Bag of personal items. These include T-shirt and shorts, washing and shaving kit, towel, face flannel, tooth paste, tooth brush, shower mules, socks, underwear, pen and paper. Female requirements are also provided.
I understand it also includes a small teddy bear which is sometimes found tucked away under the soldier's pillow.
These are deeply appreciated by the lads and lasses as personal hygiene and self-respect are so central to everyone's sense of self but more so in the military.
