Here we put gas in our car.
You put petrol in your car.
Never understood why Americans put GAS in a car...it would just float away, surely?

Is internet dating for losers?
by Newborn inafter almost a year of internet dating on various sites, i've concluded that it's not the place for me to meet the man of my dreams.
anyway, i'm happy i've given it a shot and i've gained lots of experience and even made a few male friends.
anyone here who's had better luck?.

Creativhoney - that's the funniest thing I've read in a long time ... reminded me of the episode of 'Jonathan Creek' where Maddie (Caroline Quentin) goes on a blind date with Nigel Planer (can't recall character's name) and he's about 20 years older and 3 stone heavier than the photo he sent her - and married.

I don't think that Highdose...the Queen has always maintained that it's her lifelong responsibility, and unless something unforseen happens, I don't think she'll ever 'retire'. Don't you think the Nation has 'mellowed' toward Charles? We must have the oldest reigning 'couple' in Europe - the Queen is coming up to 84 and Philip is 88!

I actually think Charles would make a good Monarch...although I also think that it's quite possible his mother will outlive him. Charles will become King George VII (not Charles III)

On the personal side (question for women)
by Son of Man inok, here is one on the personal side of my everyday life.. i heard through another person that this female i know said i slept with her when i didn't.

SOM - I heard through another person that this female I know said I slept with her when I didn't.
There you go...second hand 'news'. Never a good idea to believe gossip (as other posters have suggested). Maybe the 18 year old is totally unaware of this...?

Being Under Cult Mind Control is a Psychological Disorder - Steve Hassan
by flipper inthought perhaps some newer members who haven't heard some of hassan's thoughts on mind control might relate to this from their own experiences in jehovah's witnesses .
even though mind control is initiated by the cult involved in controlling it's members - hassan points out - it actually becomes a psychological disorder which can entrap the victim himself or herself - all the while - as they are being controlled by the leaders of cults.. on page 55 of hassan's book " releasing the bonds - empowering people to think for themselves " it states what happens in a destructive cult , " in a destructive cult, the locus of control shifts to the group or it's leader .
the new recruit abdicates his ability to make decisions.

The WT has manipulated its 'members' into believing they are 'safe' within the Organisation. It's almost like a mass hypnotic state (which is ironic really, as JWs are fearful of hypnotism as a form of mind control)

I don't know if this counts...two sisters who competed for a brother who was about to be widowed (his wife was terminally ill). Shameful.
