can you sue a fish? is it possible? i'd like to sue that crap piece of haddock i had once that still had wee bones in it. how dare it! i was so insulted! it was deliberately trying to be rude and hiding behind a mask of scales.

there is a difference expat, between giving your opinion and having someone take offence because they dont like or agree with your opinion, and you typing 'you are a stupid ugly pig and i hope you die', or - as in the article - calling someone a paedophile and a nazi because you got into a hotheaded debate with them and you lost your temper!

there is a difference between debating (however heated, or poorly worded as long as it is about the issues!) and actually setting out to type something with the intention of being personally insulting to the other party.

Gosh, this thread has turned into the modelling one.

Yes, hol went wrong, no flights, tried to sell it on but took ages getting confirmation from here (they were all having babies tsk), and it needs using in 2 weeks.

Tried to give it away once and now mn have not relpied to my other email so I think it will go to the unused holiday heaven in the sky.

expatinscotland · 23/03/2006 15:49

don't try to sell it on ebay, oo! the buyer will come back and tell you it's not real leather.

A company called Parents Need Pampering (??) but the woman there is in Italy I think now, and my email contacts to her and all the others who were interested in it, were deleted by my helpful IT dept.

I have had on average of 2 hours of sleep a night for eons and really can't be arsed with it anymore.
