New trend

Just been into Halifax and saw two young ladies walking around in bare feet. Is this a new trend or just a coincidence?

Singapore Airlines

Is it my eyesight or are the air stewardesses who work for Singapore Airlines tending to lard like the rest of us? Of course I am being a bit sexist as the majority of the cabin crew are female on SIA and I don’t remember seeing a podgy steward yet.

There are many very slim and of course attractive stewardesses working for SIA but I did notice the odd bulging and even split seam on one or two uniforms on last night’s flight.

Last night’s flight from Singapore to Manchester was, let the record show, my longest ever flight. It took us around 13.5 hours and my previous longest was Los Angeles to Hong Kong in 1992.

There you go!

Brian and the Thai Bride

Now I have to be careful here but this story struck me as more of a warning than a happy ending. This story came from someone I met whilst travelling.

Brian went to Pattaya in Thailand and after a few days he met a young lady from the North of Thailand who was working in a bar. No comment or judgement at all, just reporting what was told to me.

At the end of that holiday Brian decided he liked the girl but made no commitment. The girl felt she needed to stop working in a bar and went home as Brian went home.

A year later, Brian went back to Pattaya for more good times with young Thai ladies. The story now says that last year’s Thai girl guessed that Brian would be back at that time and lo and behold was in Pattaya waiting for him when he arrived. Yeah, right!

Still, they did hit it off again and after a couple of years of romance, they got married.

Before you dismiss this as bile on my part together with assumptions and so on, Brian was on the plane at the time I was told the story so I did see him and his young wife. He’s 57 and she’s27.

Software Woes

We need to rise up and be strong. I BOUGHT Dreamweaver CS3 the other day but after installation I spent 5-6 hours trying to get it to run. I sent a plea for help to Adobe and I have still heard nothing. I got onto a Dreamweaver forum and my sanity was restored by Dave who gave me the solution to the problem. Dave suffered like me and got his solution via has laptop maker, not Adobe. Without Dave I would be even more frustrated and as far as I know, Dave is not a geek and is just a victim like the rest of us. In the middle of this latest nonsense, I consulted a Solicitor (lawyer/attorney) over my rights when I buy goods that are possibly not of merchantable quality ... waste my time trying to get them to work ... and if I had not got a solution I might well have considered legal action. In the future, you might well see me in Court ... fighting for the little guy! DW
