I've got a job interview tomorrow and they have just sent me an application form to complete and to take with me. It says to attach a copy of the photo page of my passport but I am uncomfortable doing...

/ Once flight attendants were issued with white gloves and pearls - now they get stun devices! This would seriously have me thinking twice about flying. And I can’t believe for one minute that the...

I'd like a little advice if possible. thanks

I've not asked for vibes before on here but as I don't seem to be getting very far, maybe vibes can just swing it for me. Briefly, I worked for a company for over 20 years, got headhunted at the end...

And has anyone actually been called to donate bone marrow? I finally plucked up the courage a couple of months ago to donate blood for the first time and I do intend to donate regularly. I've received...

H's uncle is in hospital with swine flu and a severe lung infection. H has already lost 1 uncle and 2 aunts this year so is very upset. (The 1st phone call we had New Years Day was from MIL telling us...

I've just given blood for the 1st time ever - despite having a fear of needles that verges on a phobia. And I've made an appointment to give again in October. Whilst I was in there a young girl...

Or at least part of it. H has a prized stacking system. One of these really complex systems. I only know how to use part of it as it's so complicated with woofers and amplifiers and other techincal...

As the title says really. The recruitment agent has called it a psychometric test but the employer called it a psychological assessment (I assume they are the same thing). Is there anything I can do...

OK - I don't care where I speak to in the world when I have a problem but I do expect any customer service person to understand my problem. I placed an order on Amazon yesterday for a next day...

I've just sat next to someone on the bus who called their travel agent, booked a flight and then proceeded to give their full name, address, date of birth and credit card number (inlcuding the expiry...

Sorry if this is a bit rambling - I hope it makes sense. I'm out of work at the moment and trying to get back into an industry that I worked in up to the end of 2007. Jobs are few and far between as...

H's uncle died late on new years eve and the first call we had in 2009 was MIL letting us know. Yesterday's H's aunt died (not the aunt married to the uncle that died - the other side of the family)....

H's uncle died at 11.30 last night. The 1st call we had in 2009 was MIL letting us know. H is very upset as he was close to his uncle. H had spoken to him during the week and said he would go and see...

If so, please can you let me know. Thanks

We're currently cruising the Straits of Magellen - it's breathtaking scenery but bitterly cold. I had to log in to get my Hitched fix though - although it's a satellite connection...slow and...

Are sugar snaps and mange tout the same thing? I say no but google seems to disagree. <disclaimer - I did say it was mundane. My life is so boring [:'(]>

Last week I was sent on an interview for a job which turned out to be a £20k cut from my previous salary (I know I will probably have to take a cut but we can't afford that much). And thanks to their...

And now need to throw myself into job hunting. I'm not looking forward to that at all.

I'm in a bit of a state of shock I think. I left a job where I had been with the company (including the sister company) for over 20 years to start a new job in January. Now 11 months later I am out of...

One of the Alitalia unions is on strike today (yes, that will help an airline that has only enough money to operate flights for the next 24 hours grrrrr). H has been in Italy all week and is due to...

2 Club class tickets on BA anywhere in the world. ? When I told H, I asked him where he fancied and he said Barcelona.....not quite what I was expecting ?

How do you stop worrying about something that you know is irrational? H has gone to Italy today for 6 days. Some busines but mainly pleasure - to see some friends he hasn't seen for ages. I usually go...

Remember my post about H releasing goods after the bank confirmed payment had been recieved only for the cheque to be recalled? It's here - I can't seem to edit it....

Sorry MSN crashed and I can't get back in. Better go and spend some time with H anyway!

I want to send a gift to a friend who lives in the Cape Cod area. She's just out of hospital after an accident (broken ankle on one leg and torn ligaments on the other ?) so I want to send a basket of...

Well not quite but we thought it was about to! It came in at an angle right over the house and was so low that we really thought it was about to land. Our garden backs onto small gardens of a block of...

I feel so stupid but I managed to stub my toe on the sofa in my office (home office which is why I had bare feet). It's my little toe and after about 6 hours, it's red and throbbing <ooeerr...

H has an IT business. A couple of weeks ago, someone approached him via their website to purchase some hardware. (this is a fairly common occurance). They accepted the quote and H asked for the money...

Ever since I saw a documentary which showed someone being blown across the room whilst using a telephone during a thunderstorm I have avoided making a call if there's a storm. It's thundering and...

And I am slowly going mad. It's on the corner of our road and a main road - H just called our council as they have a 24 hours noise abatement number. Of course, they are totally useless. They said...
