The totally off-topic thread

Slightly on topic but apparently the availability of someone's SPML was the subject of some interference from a passenger on the previous flight.

Fortunately the plot was foiled before it could be executed.

But someone had better watch out if they travel with me again.

Keep praying until something happens.

Why 'pray' before something happens? ( or at all?)

Not a recommend way to get FF points IMHO!

Praying is usually followed by something happening as a result of the prayer. Some prayers though are said so that something doesn't happen.

So if it happens on the 19th - that is a good omen in my books !!!

And sometimes things are just meant to be. And anticipated concerns dont come to pass.

Well today in Stockholm it was 15 at 2am,still 15 at 2pm and then started falling.According to the BBC the real feel was 12C at 2am and went down from there reaching 7 at 5pm.
And they are in the middle of their summer festival.

I kind of hope I'm over-interpreting your recent posts, but in any case best wishes to you and your family JohnK

Sure but when you are faced with a serious issue you don't think "oh, everything will be ok in a few days". Worry and stress all take their toll. And then it occurs again and again.

That's when you pray until something happens or in this case that something doesn't happen again.

I have been sick for 10 days now. Coughing, breathing problems and unable to sleep. Antibiotics since Saturday. Yes I will be ok in a few days. I don't know for sure but more hoping. And yes it is only a small issue in the grand scheme of things but it has been a stressful 10 days.

Some people cope better than others. It'd be nice to get through a day without having to deal with a significant issue but that doesn't seem to be this case. It's just a barrage of one small issue after another non stop. Mum says this is as good as life gets and it will always be this way. I tend to agree.

How unusual. Normally it make no difference.

Hopefully will be better soon.

I like the sound of your Mum. She obviously knows a fair bit about life

I'll be much happier if it happens on the 19th because I have now booked expensive flights and wouldn't want to lose my money.

Spoken like a true cheapskate. :mrgreen:
