    Didn't notice the sockpuppet in the picture!

    I don't normally go for laddy comments either on here or in real life, but here goes. If I were you Brodders, I wouldn't be spending my time with her taking photographs with her hand in a sock for publication on an internet forum.

    It's ok she doesn't know i have put it on here, you never commented on Randi?

    I'm too traumatised. My great love was a Swedish girl called Horni. I'm welling up just thinking about her (and I might cry, too).

    Are you an expert minute taker? - you'd be a real bonus in meetings - I get so caught up in the meeting that I forget about the minutes and then have to go round asking people - who said what to who and who did what to who -

    They did tell me it would become second nature to take minutes while taking part in meetings - they lied.
    Yes I am, I often take Minutes. I do shorthand too.

    I am from the "secretary, nurse or work in a factory" generation. So I did shorthand/typing, then PA jobs, Office Manager, then taught Secretarial Studies, then moved into IT and did every job going in that until I ended up a Project Manager.

    But I still keep the skills because no matter what jobs I've done, doing shorthand/taking good notes, producing Minutes, typing/keyboarding, are all in use daily.

    I forgot to watch it Pastures so thank fr the commentary.

    There are so many of these dodgy, unregulated "developers" around incl one or two in Hurghada where I was planning to buy. Im so glad I pulled out now because it's unfolding that people who have bought apartments on that development have been ripped off. The person selling allegedly doesn't own the apartments in the first place!!

    Despite doing everything you can to be safe - even using a UK registered lawyer, these poor people are in danger of losing the lot!!
