My Mum's 17 year old Fiesta has sailed through the MOT. Garage said they were impressed how well looked after she was. She had some emissions problems and needed a new wiper but that was it.

Considering she's been sat on my drive not being used for about a year I'm very impressed.

Alas it also means she will be going to a new loving home tonight so I have to say goodbye for good :(

Why do women believe going on a diet a week before an event will make much difference to anything?

Media. Company's who want them to believe this. Celebrities. All three?

Because there's a difference between being attractive and feeling attractive...

Not just women. Men do it too.

See? It's getting worse! ;)

Actually, I do get annoyed at men who have started buying into the BS normally reserved for women...

For the second time this year I've been told I'm being made redundant. :(

Not really. The only place globally the oil industry is taking on is UAE.
I just lost a job there due to issues getting a visa.
