Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

I've got a mud mask on again so my talking ability is limited.
Shamefully http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body-and-Soul/Q uestion252304.html <<<this is how I first came to be on AB. However it has stood me in good stead, GS and I are still very good friends. And I did get one too.

Right... I'm all showered, cleansed, toned and moisturised now so I can answer a bit more.
Yes, I can vouch for Mibs, he is somewhat shy and his own privacy and security as an annonimous individual on here is as important to him as it is to me. I like the idea of having a unique ability, indeed I've even got the reputation of being an empath to some and a natural witch to others... Alas, it's all a face. I've just got terribly good communication skills! How dull is that as answers go?!
I also enjoy the personalities and I've made many friends on here. I'm actually due to meet Whiskeysheri in a month or two although I think the name may be unfamilar as she's usually in CB if she's anywhere. I'm hopiing she'll wear a bag over her head though, she's horribly beautiful and I'm really quite jealous of her! The fact that she appears a lovely person doesn't help at all in my desire to really, really dislike and find fault with her! She's very inconsiderate in my opinion.
Other reasons I like it here are whenI'm going through an insomniac phase there's usually someone to talk to and I'm also interested in things (like physics) which I don't know an awful lot about but it's nice that some on here do and take the time to explain things to me, (I'm thinking mainly of the warm welcome I got in Science which I was very anxious about entering. I'm also interested in politics and the state of the nation/world and again, News gives me room to vent this when I'm in the mood to.
Most importantly are the people attached to the pixels though. I love the humour, compassion and sense of humanity on this site... Even in CB. Sometimes.

China , I must be one of the few who doesn't like Heathcliff, then, although I felt very sorry for him when he was a child. I can't remember if Chawton has that pub you're talking about, but here's a link to the house.

mibs, Rather than say I have 'failed to gather' any information about your personal life, I would say that I have chosen not to assume anything at all about you. Assumptions are rarely accurate and can so often be misleading. Therefore I prefer not to make them. I have wondered what you are like (I think that's probably human nature), but it's of little consequence. I too guard my privacy, and say nothing of any significance about my personal life, and I therefore respect your wish to select only those confidants with whom you feel comfortable.

My love affair with AB began when I was introduced to a man whose name intrigued me:

.......... and from then on, because I enjoy debate so much, I was captured. For quite some time I relished the plethora of intelligent discussion - and often the less intelligent - but oh so beautifully barmy! (The Looney Orchestra; the ever-elusive wine cellar - and China swinging from a trapeze in a knitted swimsuit spring to mind). Here one could indulge oneself, wallowing in interests that others shared (but which often bored one's family and friends to death) so it was an outlet in a sense. Sadly, though, AB is changing. The art of serious, civilised, debate is declining rapidly, only to be replaced with an apparently ever-increasing inability to discuss any subject with any degree of comprehension or courtesy. Debate is one of the great loves of my life, but the recent onslaught of inane, pointless, and ill thought-out arguments, and the intimidating tactics that, for want of rational input, now seem to be progressively employed, are becoming tiresome, and so the initial delights that I discovered on AB are, for me, waning.
AB is a community of sorts, and I'm sure many friendships are established here, but from my own perspective, I consider, and will continue to consider, my fellow ABers to be 'cyber' acquaintances only.

Having watched a singer on Parkinson, my wife wanted to know his name so she could buy a CD of his.
I obligingly surfed looking for an answer, and "Answerbank" cropped up. The question was answered, and the rest is history.

Tunisia is beautiful... If they offer you the three day excursion in to the sahara I'd really recommend it. Oh, and the boats too... Plus for some reason there's a rose wine out there which I've never found here but is jus the best rose I ever tasted!
I loved Tunisia...Although I hated the markets but then I hate crowds, unncecesssary shouting and bartering so I guess that stands to reason.

Oh, well done Luna! Venturing abroad at last! Tunisia? I've been there several times, although not for many years. Where are you staying, and how long are you going for? You have to be very firm with the traders, Luna - they're very pushy - as are the people, especially those who want to be your 'guide'. And you HAVE to barter. If you don't you'll be well and truly fleeced. Begin by offering a lot less than the item is worth - the trader will ask for a lot more - sometimes ridiculous amounts of money - but stick to your guns, keep a sense of humour - and remember he wants to sell more than you want to buy. (Oh, and by the way, pickpockets are rife wherever there are foreign tourists - and that doesn't just apply to Tunisia. If you go into Boots at the airport, for about �10, you can buy a little bag that goes around your waist to keep your money safe. Don't put it in a knapsack - thieves slit them with knives, and you won't feel a thing).
The Roman arena at El Djem is very well preserved, and the Sahara trip is different. Kairouan and Monastir have lovely mosques, the Souks in Hammamet and Sousse are bustling, Tunis is busy, but of you go there you can see ancient Carthage - and there's a camel market at Nebul - but please don't come home with a little spitting, grunting, friend in tow! Oh, and if you ride a camel (and do it for the experience) hang on tight when it stands up or sits down!! (I once went on a trek - 3 hours there and three hours back, with legs scraping prickly cactus for much of the way - and the whole experience left me with rather a sore derriere and a walk like a sailor!). Oops - so much advice. I'll shut up now. :o)
Me? My holiday won't be nearly as exotic as yours. I've travelled the world, but I've never been to Scotland - so that's where I'm going. Ah, a wee dram, a dish of haggis, and a touch of the highland flings, and I'll be happy. Hope I see Nessie - I'll paint her portrait!

It sounds like you're doing the same trip as I did Luna as I visited both those places on my excursion to the Sahara. Make sure you buy apricots on the excursion, I hate apricots but tasting them there was an entirely different experience. I echo Naomi's holding on tight when going up and down on a camel, also, don't look too nervous or like you're coping well as the guide will let go of the rope... Should this happen, I recommend listening carefully to the word that makes them stop and repeating, (I still hate that man). Take muchos water and a cooler bag to keep water cold. Many people took water but forgot the cooler bag and apparently drinking luke warm water smells. The hotel you'll likely be staying at on the camel ride evening has a pool so bring your cozzie and it smells of petrol. It is not necessary to rent the silly costume for your camel ride unless you really want to. If there's a Mrs Luna, tell her to take a head scaf with her, that sand won't come out for weeks otherwise. Buy a sand rose, they're cool.
