  1. Didn't try to visit me though
  2. Ref Ryanair have a read of this :- http://www.pprune.org/passengers-slf-self-loading-freight/429434-ryanair-questions-comments-bouquets-brickbats-merged-ii.html That is only a small part, there was lots more
  3. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/13/us/iran-sees-terror-plot-accusation-as-diversion-from-wall-street-protests.html?_r=3&hp The New York Times newspaper seems to think that perhaps all is not what it seems with regard to Iran.
  4. Mods can we make this a poll ???? :lol:
  5. Revenge ????
  6. Have sent that link to our daughter for our grand daughter in UK. Don't hold your breath though.
  7. Strong leaders have to make unpleasant decisions for the good of the majority sometimes this means dropping friends. Weak leaders try not to upset their friends. Cameron has now proved beyond reasonable doubt that he is in fact a very weak "leader" and IMHO has been shown to be unfit for the job of P.M. .
  8. about a neighbour I had. He has passed on to the other side now but he suffered from optical migraines. Not painful but extremely worrying the first couple of times he had them. "You might see a small, enlarging blind spot (scotoma) in your central vision with bright, flashing or flickering lights (scintillations), or wavy or zig-zag lines surrounding the blind spot. The blind spot usually enlarges and may move across your field of vision. This entire migraine phenomenon may end in only a few minutes, but usually lasts up to 30 minutes."

  9. Actually Hamster I was being serious.
  10. Perhaps it is the start of bone cancer.
  11. Well fresh air is Free.
  12. I think any manager is always under subtle but great pressure to pick the "brand" names. In no particular order the clubs who want the publicity, the FA and even the media who have favorite players. Why? well IMHO money is probably the major issue as the names can get more money from sponsors than less well known players and the media can sell more TV time / papers as more people will watch / read about names they know more than up and coming lads.
  13. Volkswagen Audi Group perhaps?
  14. http://www.anaes.med.usyd.edu.au/venom/snakebite.html Quite interesting for those going to Australia.
  15. Raiders owner Al Davis, who helped make the NFL what it is today with innovations on and off the field, died Saturday at 82. .
  16. Wales won against the Irish 22 - 10 so in semis
  17. The England-France Rugby World Cup match at Eden Park on Saturday night may have more than 10,000 empty seats unless there's a late rush for tickets. There are about 1000 tickets left for the Ireland-Wales match in Wellington, and about 3500 left for each of Sunday's games - the Australia-South Africa match in Wellington and All Blacks-Argentina match at Eden Park. At those over here who don't believe Rugby is a world minority sport, some think it is a much bigger sport than Football. .
  18. I must be turning into a Corp Ho clone then as I found myself "ROFLPMS" and Corp Ho does appear to do that a lot. .
  19. http://www.tipping.org/tips/bellman.html Lets start with some basics for the beginners: The Bellman IS the most important staff member in any hotel. The bellman has the ability to make or break your stay, making it either enjoyable, or a living hell. How you tip him/her is tantamount to the outcome of your stay. If you carry your own bags when you stay at a hotel, you are a loser. You probably went out and bought suitcases with wheels on them just just you wouldn't have to part with a few precious dollars as a tip to a bellman. Many Hotel's Bellstaff's are currently installing small devices in the floors of their lobby that will melt any and all suitcase wheels that pass over them. So you better use a bellman any way before those cute little wheels become a black smear on my lobby floor. I wouldn't want to have to bother housekeeping with cleaning up your ignorance. Don't even bother to ask if you can borrow a Bellman's cart. This is comparable to approaching a Taxi driver, telling him you need a ride to the airport, and when the driver says "hop in", you say "No, I just wanted to borrow your car". See the similarities? If you borrow MY cart, how the **** am I supposed to make any money? Get a clue. Don't make the assumption that just because we're polite to you means that we like you. Its our job to suck up to schmucks like you because we works for tips. Nothing is worse than sucking up to real loser upon check-in, working your ass off, only to receive a ONE DOLLAR TIP! That will NOT help me make my Mortgage payment this month. Here is a little guide so that you are aware how we will think of you after you close your door $20 or more You are now a God in the eyes of the entire Bellstaff. They will hide dead bodies for you if asked. $10 You are a very generous individual. The bellstaff will be at your mercy, but will stop short of illegal behavior. (See Above) $9 Spare the extra buck and make it $10. $2 This was an appropriate tip in the early '50's. Get a grip. $1 This is an appropriate tip for merely looking in your general direction. Less than $1 You are obviously from a foreign country, where your inferior schooling has taught you that Tipping is a City in China. :lol:
  20. http://news.msn.co.nz/glanceview/194132/haunted-house-terrifies-visitors.glance Just wondered if "Dog" had been and that had been the real cause of his ghost issue. .
  21. Why does the present owner wish to move? .
  22. I don't know a lot about these people but I am a tad shocked that they behave like this. "Gang warfare doesn't always involve drugs, tattoos and disagreements over rap lyrics. Police in Ohio are investigating an outbreak of violence between rival factions of the Amish community suspected of breaking into homes and cutting off each other's hair". http://msn.nzherald.co.nz/crime/news/article.cfm?c_id=30&objectid=10757263 .
  23. Thank you jawillwill but the snag is I would certainly not be as easy going or as sensible as Saint-Clark and I would get banned for banning lots and lots of posters I suspect :lol:
  24. As above CD says, but keep going and Good Luck.
  25. Amanda Knox landed in London and caught a connecting flight home to the United States, passing through a VIP area normally used by Queen Elizabeth II, airport officials say. http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/world/10399786/knox-transits-via-british-royal-vip-area/ .
