I'm in the same position, flying to new zealand and back in the summer. Both have to change twice and the total flying time is something ridiculous. One of the flights is by some dodgy Jetstar Airways aswell when I thought it was Qantas so that's stressed me out. I just wish I could get something which would send me unconscious for the whole of both flights.

Either get some sleeping pills from your doc or spliff up in the airport toilet and neck a bottle of liquid morphine.

I'm in bed.

Once upon a time AOWW was always up all night - what's her new secret sleeping method?

Old age.

I just seemed to get over the insomnia. I still have occasional bouts of it, but nothing like I used to. I even drink a lot less... maybe that's got something to do with it.

Jetstar isn't dodgy, it is budget Qantas.

Is it possible (or legal even) for a female to play professional football in this country?.

I cant understand why he thought it was dodgy. Theyve never had any real safety problems or complaints just customer service issues which is always the case with a budget airline. It would only be like flying bmibaby.

no,i meant in the football league. Lets suppose we found a girl who was brilliant. Would she be allowed to play?.

Oh my mistake. I dont think they can, as girls can play Sunday League with lads upto u11s I think and are then not permitted so Id imagine Fifa has some sort of rule in place for it.

I'm sure I remember reading a story in the news about a girl in a club's youth team a few years ago. I think it was on the continent. Maybe Fiorentina? I'm pretty sure it was just a PR stunt, though.

It happened in Scotland or England I think. An under 13's team (Or similar) got to the final of the are cup and had a girl playing for them. She was banned from playing in the final.

EDIT: I only remember 'cause I started a thread on it. Here's the link:

Lovely stuff. Well played to those who did it.

In a way I was hoping that Stringer collapsed with a stitch near the finish line and got taken over by a one legged guy with a crutch, or two blokes in a llama outfit, but being as it was for charity fair play to the bloke!

Beaten by Lisa! 4:16:25

Edit : Oh, I see he was beaten by a woman so I suppose that's just about as bad as being beat by two blokes in a Llama outfit

Dear FT agony aunts

I think I may be suffering from a very bad anger management problem .

It seems that I should be absolutely incandescent with rage at the main forum because of all the topics and stupid posters on there and I just cannot get angry at all about it at all.

Does this make me a monster ?

When I know should be angrily typing out insults to other posters , I’m just sitting here thinking things like , “ should I have a cup of tea and a biscuit now ?”

I feel so devoid of emotions and it’s so out of my control , somehow I get the feeling of a pale blue mist overpowering me

Please help !!

[nothin2seehere]

Zingari, a cup of tea and a biscuit should be your number 1 priority. I have no other opinion.

UFOs - how do we know they're UFOs if they're unidentified?

Because identified ones are either ducks, planes or shit about to hit a fan.

As you will see from the following graphic, anger has its roots in specific areas., as a City fan of "maturity" you have experienced/lived the majority of these emotions on a daily basis for quite sometime. I believe you may now have become immune to their effects.

I would suggest you take a 2 month break from city and the forum, that should see you returning to something nearing balanced, after that, with any luck you will be back ranting and raving in no time.
