Aye, indeed, Liz! It would be different anyway!

Not to trivialise the topic, but if it were an ideal world I think I would have the power of flight. Yeh!

I had an out of body experience once - I rose up and went through the wall of my bedroom into that of my brother's (before he died). I flew round - or, floated around above him and then went back through into my room and woke up!! I didn't like the feeling!!

It was! I floated really. Never had it since though! Nightmares hadn't a look in!

She gave a statment. It was on the radio. I cant remember all of it but she said she didnt mean to cause any offence.

It was on tv news - all the channels - earlier tonight. She is now supposed to be on her way home! The two who secured her release were Baroness Warsi and Lord Ahmed, two Muslims from the UK.
The statement made by Gillian Gibbons was read out by Baroness Warsi.
This should never have happened. Thank goodness I am British, is all I can say. Seems to me there is no freedom of speech, or even to name a bleeding wee teddy bear! I have great respect for all religions but I think they (the Muslims) take it a step too far. Ach well, each to their own.
Hope the poor lady gets home safe and sound.

One item I read about this referred to the fact that all three of them (Warsi Ahmed and Gibbons) were brought up in Yorkshire and when they met, time was spent ripping the p155 out of each other. Now that's as it should be!
I can only hope that some kind of greater understanding and tolerance is fostered by this incident but I fear that may be in vain.
