Am I being nasty..

[coolma]

..or do I feel a bit about the girl who has broken her back in Corfu and is asking for public donations to get home for treatment because she didn't have holiday insurance? Surely, nowdays, insurance is an absolute essential for travelling? I expect I'm being horrible but I really think it's a bt much...

i am not angry, people can do what they want with their money. i think she has a cheek to ask though tbh.

I didn't say you. I said Anyone

But I can see how the confusion may have arisen

On a more serious and weighty note, why the fucking fuck did my bolding not work there?

I DEMAND TO KNOW.

Sorry, that should be

I DEMAND TO KNOW

The fact that they didn't have insurance is no longer relevant.

Sure they were stupid to travel without insurance. What's done is done though.

They are still left in a terrible situation and have to deal it with the best way they can.

What else can they do. Leave her there forever?

no, they can raise the money themselves.

now teth, no need to be so cross about it

and sometimes bolding is used to express the fact that you have stated a fact several times and people appear to be deliberately disregarding it, because it doesn't fit with their argument

not just to denote crossness

"no, they can raise the money themselves."

They just did

pad...no-one is suggesting she be "left there forever"

when she is well enough to travel, after her high-quality treatment in Spain, she can arrange her own flight home

or her family can, whichever comes first, depending on her medical situation

But why can't you bold half a word?

So I can do this but not this?

What? WHY???

Anyone

yes, teth, and the gullible old british public made that possible

< cancels annual travel insurance payment >

at failed bolding. I have no idea.

Can I bold the first half but not the last half?

That is discrimination.

I've never been so angry.

no, teth, you have never been so angry

I can't comment. I am frozen out of a discussion that has become awash with random bolding by my own meekness.

It is all too scary

If only she'd had a current account with Barclays - you get travel insurance as standard - all this fuss could have been avoided.

I've tried to combine them all and I can't do it

Or maybe I can

i think MN is second-halfist.

maybe

not.
