They should have done as he said. Open the airplane door mid-flight and let him leave. :)

Didn't a little boat land in the Americas a few hundred years ago? I sometimes think it would've been better if Plymouth Rock had landed on the Pilgrim Fathers rather than the other way around. :)

Yes Nige, nothing says the Muslims have banned Christmas like massive Christian symbols all along Regent Street. The lights are actually more overtly Christian than many other years, with the Angel of the Lord. And do you not think those "pretty little stars" might not actually depict the north star, used to guide Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, the Lord's birthplace? If I were unfortunate enough to be a Christian I think I'd be delighted with them. Merry Christmas, Nige.

There was a running gag in the U.K. comedians Morecambe and Wise's t.v. show where Eric would ask Ernie what he had done that morning. Ernie would reply "I wrote three plays and four novels." This is much like that; a half dozen wars stopped before breakfast.

I was just checking my bank account. It looks like people will be getting the thought that counts from me this year. 🙂

What on earth is that gibberish?

Living the dream is not continually posting on expat forums worrying about what other people are doing.

That's a fairly good summary. I would just say that the idea that there is an "office" scent or a "nightclub" scent or a going down to Aldi scent (sic) is a modern marketing notion. Anything is an office scent if it's light and doesn't project too much. Personal taste is the most important factor. Wearing a scent that you disilke because others like it or it gets compliments is like hanging a painting you think is hideous because other people might like it.

It's all about projection and longevity and you have to be discriminating or at least aware. The reality is that few people can smell your scent unless you're in an enclosed space or they deliberately sniff you. These days the kids are into intense scents or beast mode as they like to call it. That's alright if you're fishing for compliments or trying to attract. Personally I'd rather wear a frag for myself. If someone can smell it and they like it all well and good.
