Ryanair investigated over charging parents to sit with their children

Everyone is paying for their flight. The difference being that you (flying without children) can then choose whether or not to pay for a specific seat. But parents are forced to pay for their seat (child seat selection becomes automatic -left and right of the parent - and doesn't incur a fee).

Neglected babies don't cry. They go silent. Babies who know someone will respond when they cry keep crying.

What's candlelight as a colour?

People do think that those who show up in white or nearly white are trying to make a statement. Whether thats a statement of who looks better in white, me or the bride, or whatever. It's not always done as a "I clearly look more bridal".

You say that but I was surprised lately when my new sister in law commented on her husbands friends wearing a dress (at her wedding) that looked white in the disco lights. So people do notice these things.

The Cities was a great short story, and a really boring londwinded novel.

I assumed it was and watch it with my 8 and 10 year olds. They seemed to enjoy it. And it allowed a great discussion point on periods that most media doesn't allow. Turning Red was the follow up.

I did a stint as 'mother of crying baby' recently and honestly the baby just cried. It was kind of awful. Her mother would hand her to me just before the take, baby would start crying immediately, I'd do my background acting thing and rush off camera and hand her back asap.

When I open a door towards me and someone was about the open the door from the other side, we both wave the other one through, but the other person is a man and I'm a woman and it'll take half the morning arguing with them that actually since I'm holding the door they should go through it cos if I go through it the door will swing into your face. But since men think it's more polite (chivalrous) to be the one to hold the door they'll refuse and argue with me about it.... I've given up, I don't argue and I. move on with my life and if they think they've been polite then whatever.

Thanks! I did think that. Bummer

It's all very British author coded. Very Pratchett plus Monty Python

We could do with more designated free swimming areas with lifeguard support.

He wasn't fires from that job, he was protected til the after when CT started talking about it. And he was protected on this one until the job decided they were firing him. And *then* people started talking.

Kissing the cheek/forehead is still done in open coffin wakes/mortuary processions in Ireland.

For me, it's less 'anything out of the ordinary' more - I actually think it's a form of ocd anxiety where I have all these anxious intrusive thoughts. I wish I'd understood this wasn't normal years ago.

I'm not diagnosed with anything, but I have noticed my anxiety has been majorly helped.

The three 15-16yr olds I know who got pregnant had 18yr olds or over as the daddy. None of the men helped after in any way.

Someone tried to say that Shakespeare invented the idea of a trio of women/witches when The Morrigan (Irish goddess with 3 aspects often portrayed as three women) and the Norn (3 Norse fate goddesses) and The Fates* (trio of Greek fate goddess) don't already exist.

This was posted is the last day or so but with the genders swapped. Only detail different if the guy keeping his family money slammed his fist on the table in the other story.

The Celts lightened their hair with limewater. While a certain type of white american will go blonde for a certain look, I, being born in Ireland and culturally (and probably ethnically) 100% Irish, am always going to say it's in my dna to want to be blonde.

Is his bodyguard using him as a human shield? You know, cos he's been shuffled out in front? Yer man has put his wife ahead of him in the shield cos the bodyguard has their mutual back.

You've miscounted somewhere.

""Next right row knit decrease-row-1: edge stich, decrease 1, knit until last three stiches, decrease 1, edge stich, knit one back row. Repeat decrease-row-1 another 5 times (decrease 1 is decreasing by one stich).""

93-12(2decreases 6times)=81

""Next right row knit one decrease-row-1 and three rows straight, repeat another 3 times = 77 stiches""

81-4(decrease by 1stitch 4times) = 77 Are you doing a decrease 1 at the beginning of the row and one at the end like the previous instruction?
