    p.s. Think about people you know who have the same initials as the airline company (I know the company now you entioned the ad was on last night's TV)

    Maybe they are destined to never reach their desired goal?

    Well that's a great help isn't it!!

    If my initials were, for expample, UA, I'd never reach my destination, ie would die in a plane crash?????

    Well My initials are SO - maybe I shouldn't go anytime soon to South ORfrica!

    Bootski, you know what I was trying to say :p

    - I see people at work who go for series of tests to see if they can progress within the company, but I think to myself they will not go as far as they'd like to think they might.....but it's my personal opinion of course.....

    I wasn't trying to say that someone called UA,BMI, BA,SA,AA,AL,GB,TC, (or even maybe a Virgin the OP knows:rotfl:) definitely wouldn't reach their goal, but perhaps that the OP doesn't believe the person can break/ fly through the metaphorical glass ceiling perhaps??

    what, in this one?


    btw, why would a little boy be playing with a Rubik's cube in 1984 - they were long past being fashionable in 1984, at least round these parts!

    Don't say that! I went to the 80's rewind festival in Henley and saw, amongst other:

    Kim Wilde
    Rick Astley
    Bananarama
    Billy Ocean
    Belinda Carlisle
    Kid Creole
    Heaven 17
    Dr & The Medics
    Cutting Crew
    Toyah
    The Real Thing
    China Crisis

    It was FANTASTIC. Going to a friends house for a lift I saw a rubics cube on the table - that was sooooo 1980's. This one was covered in obsenities but I could stll have to the face and two rows done, by cheating if nothing else.

    Saying that, whatever happened to MR Rubics and his cube. Must have made a fortune at the time??

    I could do the Rubik's cube in under a minute.

    Not anymore, but I could when I was about 10yo, making it [STRIKE]1980[/STRIKE]....early eighties ;)

    eta - without cheating - you just had to get the corners right.
