Sounds like she ended up winning.

That would be my thought as well. Though it is not as culturally as historic as Spain.

When the crew found out, she was bumped to first class, put on the next plane back to the UK, then flown down to Spain free of charge, then given the air miles to get to New Zealand and she is now clear of cancer. Sounds like an all round win.

I agree, I would still would be happy either way. The fact that she is clear of cancer is probably the best news of all.

Yes, even moderators can ban themselves from a forum. :oops: :shock: :lol:

I blame badly-written instructions myself, but yes, I managed to ban myself from this very forum. :roll:

Really? First on my list would be a custom nerf gun to look like a sci-fi prop. Not a proper pew pew shooter though ;)

I've got a couple of projects in mind, which could be real money makers, but would have to seek out a place to get a prototype made before shelling out.

We're hoping for an extrusion based 3D printer at work, probably next summer. Nothing too big, just something to make knick knacks and prove the theory so to speak.

You could make pretty accurate replicas of guns even if they do not work at all. Though I think that they could be very handy to make spare parts for nerf guns.

OK, so if I read the terms and conditions as stated and tick the tick box, I haven't agreed to anything. Well done.

It was written with invisible ink. You must have forgotten to use the restoring fluid to make it visible?

Just restored my iPhone and put in my pin only for the phone to respond that it was a very common code and would I like to change it? The problem is that having amnesia makes it hard to learn a more difficult password. It is the reason why all my credit cards are chip and signature. More a fail about me rather than the phone, at least it warned the users of common usage of some passwords.

It allowed me to use my previous and therefore easy to remember PIN.

Decide to visit our woeful local shopping centre for the first time in about six months, only for mother dearest to say most of the shops close around five now. They'd be better just burning the place down for the insurance money ffs... On a somewhat related note, the security guard told my dad he thinks the old dears sit on the benches rather than having to spend on their heating bills :shock:
