    List of Overused Names for Babies.

    A friend has 4 little girls & 2 dogs. The names are poppy, Lily, Lola, Molly, Daisy & Rosie. I can't remember which are the girls names & which the dogs. I don't know what would be worse calling one of the kids by a dogs name or calling one of dogs by a girls name.

    Morning drivers.Make me Mad!

    Tips for long haul flights...

    For "long" long haul don't drink alcohol, you'll end up feeling hung over before you land. Wouldn't go with pasta, eat lightly, lots of water, walk around as much as can during the flight.

    Sisters Hen night - I want to make it special

    Who's going to pay for your young sisters to go, your Mother? Is she o.k. with that. With booking a villa, I can't see a villa owner agreeing to give it to you for a random night rather than a week. Also people will say they will go, you'll book (&pay) on that basis then back out. You'll...

    "Friends" who do odd things

    ]Believe me it is true. He was a very close confidant who obviously got his thrill from taping and listening others' conversations. In the heated exchange at the time, he told me he taped all his conversations. I class him as a pervert. Different strokes for different folks but alas and without...

    It's OT MM by why on earth would your mate want to tape your phone calls? It just seem's to be a very odd thing to do. (I'm not doubting you, just very curious).
