Absolutely crazy. Would rather see a woman covered up than boobs and bums fully exposed and middle aged flab hanging down everywhere.

I joined them when they first started and never once had even an enquiry :cry:

I deleted my updated listing with them in March, (as I did my OD listing.)

It's a Toshiba, Nemo. Should have waited to ask for help, as I re-booted and it worked again :oops: (I had the cursor but it just didn't move....)

Can't write anything!

On my laptop I was writing an email in Gmail when suddenly I found I wasn't writing anything!

Thought I could write this on my laptop but no the cursor doesn't move. Can't write anything anywhere on the laptop.
What have I inadvertently pressed and what must I press to be able to write again?

I haven't been but several members of my family have, very recently, and apart from all the obvious ones like Kyoto, my daughter in law tells me Bunny Island ( if you are at all into bunnies) and she and my son both say for the scariest fun you will ever have - the Haunted hospital. I believe there...

If you have to register your contract with the guest then it must be signed. I don't have to register them but I do have to keep them for a couple of years.

My son was born here with an Italian father and to enable him to have British nationality I had to register him at the British Consulate in Naples where he was duly registered as a British citizen and I was sent a birth certificate.
