Sir Galahad

Well, this fly had been bugging me (no pun intended), whilst I was trying to work, so in frustration I went to squish it & cracked the glass on the double glazed window. Oops. Didn't mean to hit it that hard, but got the fly though! [side note: the window was covered by insurance, phew] Another was when I was like 5 or something. Decided it would be a nice idea to cook my parents breakfast on a Sunday morning. All went ok until I forgot to turn the pan out after I had finished, & it caught fire. Luckily my Dad was up by then, & caught it in time. I got hell for that! lol Plus my Ma STILL tells the story, amongst others! <sigh> Do they never forget?

I tend to agree with most of what's been posted so far. I think forgiveness depends on what exactly you have to forgive. if you know somebody didn't do something on purpose, then it comes a lot easier, well, that's a given. However, if it was deliberate, then I would have a hard time forgiving anyone, depending on the situation. Kit was right in so far that your relationship could never be the same, you would always be on guard against any further breach of trust. Talking from experience, I may have forgiven certain people, but I have never trusted them again the way I would like to. It's only ever happened once, a long time ago I might add, but if a partner cheats on you, then I think it's a lot harder to forgive what I consider to be the ultimate betrayal. And no, some 7 years later I still haven't done it, we talk etc, but in my heart I know I just can't forgive him for doing what he did.

Yeah, I agree with Kevin in that XP was one of the easier OS's to use & most stable. Win '98 however was the biggest pile of crap, even worse than Vista, though an improvement on Win 95. I had no end of problems with it. , That said, my Vista OS seems to be working perfectly. Ok, admittedly it took a year & a hundred updates to get it that way, but it runs very smoothly, so much so I have now deleted XP from my second drive. What worries me with any new OS is the unpredictability of it. I work in IT & I know at some point in the next month I am going to have to have a good look at Win 7. I just hope it's not another OTT exercise like Vista, trying to cram so much in that the whole thing goes tits up.

Your tonight was my yesterday morning! Think I'm about 5 hours ahead of ya. Anyway, I said I'd post it today & it's up! No buns or similar objects to be thrown at screen!

Ok, here it is. <sigh> Cannot believe I was blackmailed!

All flames will be dealt with by my trusty fire extinguisher.

Perhaps I should keep 'em waiting 'til the last minute! :mace:

<groans> That's just mean! <pouts>

You shit! I wasn't gonna back out, honest!

Ok, ok. I will try & get a suitable one ready to post tomorrow.

I might, but I don't wanna dazzle ya with my pic too soon. Plus I do have one on my profile with my best friend, Beer! lol

Yup, defiantly a hottie.

U wish! lol. We've not had the murderer confirmed yet, though it is looking towards Jerry. But Mark M guessed right off the bat.

Great chapter as always & I guess one step closer to the truth. So the pictures were tampered with as most people expected, & I expect that Jerry is now firmly in the frame for murder. Good news that Robbie's in the clear though, at least for now! Still not sure who was pulling the strings in Paris, making the police go after Robbie. Won't go through it all again so see above! lol. I just feel really sorry for Robbie, being raped in prison. I really hope he can get over it & move on. Lou? Who would've guessed after all these years? Had all but forgotten that happened. Nice touch Mark.

Mmmmm, gonna have to try some of these out. When we went to Cape Town last year they had this pancake house in the Victoria & Albert shopping area, god you could put on lbs just looking at the menu. They were more like crepes though, my favourite was ham, mushroom & cheese, with just a little maple syrup poured on top. Man they were good!

Mmmm, I should be able to get one from the office, work for an IT company so get lots of free crap! lol

I can only add to what's been said. Eye contact is key. stray hands, coy smiles etc. Biggest giveaway though, when a guy has his tongue down your throat & his hands down the front of your jeans. Then you can be pretty sure he's interested in more than a movie!

Ok, here's my scorpion. Needs a touch up by the looks of it.

No doubt some little toe rag that wants to get paid for his story. FFS, who actually thought that kid was the father, only looks about 8, his balls probably haven't even dropped, let alone be capable of producing sperm! He was 12 (just) when she got pregnant. Slim odds eh! Plus the mother is the estates bike by all accounts! Get bored so easily with these stories.

<sigh> since you put it that way! lol. Now it's even more confusing! Ok, it could be Cambronne, for the v good reasons above. He would have influence no doubt with the authorities. Robbie's Mom. Not sure, it's the money & influence thing that's the catch here. Outsider at best. But agree she may have helped Neil. We also don't know if the people who helped Neil, if he did have help, are one & the same as the ones pushing the French Police. Could be totally separate! <sigh> As for the photos, mmm, could be Marcel in them, looks more similar to Robbie than Max. <throws yet another spanner in> Why would Marcel do it, money. Cambronne may be paying him! Or the photos were genuine & Robbie did kill Neil. They did get upto some kinky stuff, so breath control wouldn't surprise me. My head hurts from all the different scenarios, so will leave the guesswork for now. More than likely it's none of the above! lol.

Thought of another one. Jellyfish, hate them. Gives me the creeps just thinking about the slimey....<shudders>

Hell, if I waited for THE ONE, I don't think I would ever have had sex! Life's too short to be waiting around for someone to drop in your lap, so to speak. I have never regretted losing my cherry when I did, though the venue could have been better. Plus I don't regret all the great sex I've had since then. Believe me when I say, we all think it's the one, but 9 times outta 10 your going to be disappointed. Cynical I know, but just saying it as I see it.

I take the other view, keeping people on their toes with twists & turns is great, though not for an extended period of time! lol. Personally I think it makes the story even more interesting coming up to the finale. It's gonna be pretty action packed I guess with all these questions being answered & only 5 chapters to do it in. As for Cramborone, first name I came up with, but then, why? Brad only blew him once, then he had the services of Marcel. I can't see any grudge at all. This is one question that has me stumped. Grrrr.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSE
