RE: We Carbon Based Life Forms Have Had Good Run. BUT

Yeah sorry about that flood of negativity

I think we could be okay, if there's a written test to see who stays and who gets vaporised.

These little Freudian slips can get us into so much trouble

Mic, good call!

Z, if we can't trust a photon what, really, can we trust?

Non, I think politicians should definitely be the first guinea pigs

Red, Daniela's your girl on astral travelling. I've never really got into that whole thing, but turn me into a stream of atoms flowing through the universe and reassembling on the other end and I'm in.

Douglas Adams wrote a poem about it, when it goes wrong, though.

I teleported home last night with Ron and Sid and Meg
Ron stole Meggy's heart away and I got Sidney's leg.

Z, it is a horrible airport. Horrible horrible horrible. I think it is either the first time I went or I managed to block out any previous ones.

I'm good at blocking. Today someone told me I was pretty. Actually I think they said I was pretty annoying, but I have learned to block negatives.

RE: Last chance .....

Last chance?

Johnny, never knew you were a fellow SF nut!!

Daniela, whoa, uncanny. Stansted, check. Ryanair, check.

I'll let them know, Ooby.

Back to travel whinge. Grab a coffee.

That reminds me, I need milk. Mine's gone off.

Anyway, so we are sitting on the plane, no ventilation of course on the tarmac, oddly empty plane, an empty seat in nearly every row. No-one else is boarding and the crew can be seen whispering. Finally our captain speaks.

Seems about 3 minutes after we lot got clear of the terminal, a fire alarm went off. Our fellow passengers have been evacuated along with everyone else in that bit. We will have to be patient.

I asked a passing crew member to please at least put the ventilation on and they do, phew.

We wait.

Turns out our missing passengers are now in a giant throng of passengers for every possible destination and they will all have to go through security checks to be fed back to their original boarding gates. This could take a while.

We wait. Those of us with food eat. Those of us with smarties switch them back on and start bothering our friends.

Our captain says the airline is now deciding whether it is quicker to empty the hold of baggage, identify what belongs to the missing (who could after all have deliberately set off the fire alarm) and repack the rest, or to wait for the security checks. He will let us know what they decide.

We wait.

Finally he says as most of the passengers have now been identified anyway, we might as well wait for them anyway.

We wait.

Passengers start to arrive, filled with exciting stories, and those passengers who moved to empty seats are firmly moved back. We taxi out along with every other plane held up by the debacle, and wait for takeoff.

Our pilot took us to Edinburgh so fast the plane was shaking - 40 minutes to do a flight that normally takes an hour and a half. He might as well not have bothered - the ground crew weren't ready for us.

We wait.

I'm only grateful that Scotland and England are currently still part of the same country and we didn't have to go through passport control when we arrived.















I want to be a photon.

Free, funny you should say that, I am mid-whinge right now

Yes we should. Travel stories could be as unimaginable, in 50 years time, as teleportation is to us now.

Johnny, time travel is my absolute favourite dream. However was it Einstein who said it is possible to know where we are in space, or where we are in time, but not both?

Don't quote me, I'm probably wrong on either the quote or the quoter but for time travel to be possible, all times would have to be live and active all the time and happening simultaneously and I don't think that's possible

I do think it's possible teleporting is slightly further advanced, and more experiments have happened, than we are told but that may be wishful thinking on my part!

Wouldn't it just? Although being able to pick up my handbag and go straight from my own doorstep is unlikely to be in my lifetime

RE: If I said you had a beautiful body..

Yes, I believe you.

RE: If I said you had a beautiful body..

Thanks for the earworm, Molly, I HATE that song

RE: Reviving the Blogs

Look to you to save us, Calm.

RE: "ARE YOU FOR REAL?"

The NHS has been called out to a broken fingernail before now.

Your secret is safe with us, Luke

hehehehe

Settling for less than perfect

CC you were completely right, though. I'm far from perfect and the best relationships I ever had (friendships and otherwise) have been with those who were far from perfect.

BTW, difficult living with a perfectionist, you have to keep the balance for both of you or it can go quite OCD. You obviously got it right, a tricky balancing act though

Settling for less than perfect

Tru, I swear sometimes you are six years old



Go on, pull her pigtails. Dare you. DOUBLE-dare you

Settling for less than perfect

CC, oh yes. That's almost better, when someone isn't conventionally 'perfect' but is absolutely and exactly right!

Settling for less than perfect

Aa 'settling' probably not the best word. Finding something that works, even if it is unconventional, probably better. Successful conventional relationships are relatively rare these days ...

Settling for less than perfect

Daniela, by the time I'd remembered how to delete it, it had started taking a different path!

That's a few of us on the comments who prefer part-time. Maybe we should set up a subgroup ... and CC makes a good point, perfect is better when its perfect-for-you ...

Settling for less than perfect

Red - I'm never sure with you

Settling for less than perfect

Haha Red if I wrote all my blogs as I I I I I people would be thinking phew that woman is self-obsessed - even if they actually sometimes agreed with what I had said

So yup I use we and hope that it isn't in fact only me

I'm single for my reasons, you are single for yours, everyone has their own reasons and there's as much variety there as in every other aspect of our lives.

But be fair, you've read the blogs long enough, can't help but notice that the same 'got to be perfect' sentiment crops up a LOT?

I think most of us are actually pretty happy with our lot. It WOULD have to be perfect to make us change. But that is just my opinion

Snoring - help

I do think everyone snores, at least occasionally, and it peaks around the fifties and sixties, then either kills the snorer (or their partner does) or slowly starts to go away again. The very old barely snore at all.

Hold off on that pillow, is what I'm saying

Settling for less than perfect

Freedom, yup, attention seeking, that's me, and thanks for paying my blog that moment's attention

Snoring - help

I have a theory, partly from personal experience but mainly from talking to friends, that emotionally-mean men don't snore and emotionally-generous ones do.

And while on theories, I was told once that men snore on their backs, Molly, but not on their sides, but women are the other way round? We'll need a male viewpoint for that one

Wow, you Irish are tough with your golfball! Here in Scotland it's a ping pong ball! But then of course we are great golfers, you wouldn't want to waste a golfball on a mere snorer ...
