    Help! Under attack by Black Widows

    OK.... ignorant Brit warning..... I think I know what Black Widows look like, but what about these recluse spiders? What's the chance of meeting one in a rented villa in Kissimmee?? And does anyone know what the weird little thin spiders are? And more to the point are they safe? We had...

    Whose Screen Name do you love?

    Don't know about screen name, but someone has the signature line: "668, the neighbour of the beast" which for some reason makes me giggle!

    Abortion vs Adoption

    I don't believe termination is always wrong, but usually wrong. I believe that women have the right to choose - the right to choose birth control and the right not to have sex. Where these rights have been violated (rape, extreme ignorance in the very young etc.), termination might be...

    The debate board.. please read

    Well saying what has been said about "all Muslims" is racist. Aside from that I agree with you, better the devil you know and all that. But my point is we can't deal with it - we no longer have right of reply and I believe it is offensive to leave it there. For goodness sake, people...

    The Death Penalty - Inspired by Scott Peterson thread..

    I am opposed to the death penalty under all circumstances. It doesn't work as a deterrent, vengeance clouds judgment and we know that people have been murdered by the State because of lack of political will to overturn unsafe convictions. And I don't think we have the right to take life...

    The debate board.. please read

    Good point. But now its still there to view with the most obscenely racist hate-filled posts on the most recent pages, and no-one can do anything about it. Does anyone else find this disturbing?

    Censorship yes or no

    It's censorship - but Pete can do what he likes with his board. If he owned a bar he could ban people for brawling and breaking the furniture. Or bringing their flamingoes. There are plenty of other places you can go to exchange vitriol or genuine opinion. I liked reading and joining in on...

    Tackling Sanford airport!!!!

    You can't do Simon V's trick at Sanford. You have to all collect your luggage and take it through security with your customs form (s). The only reason you can do it at MCO is there's a double baggage claim system. After the first collection you go through the first security with your bags...

    Travel City DIrect

    According to Which you should write to them and ask for compensation - not a refund - for loss of enjoyment. You shouldn't specify an amount, but their compensation should be based on how much of your holiday was ruined and for the distress caused. £400 seems inadequate to me if there were...

    Ever been offered 'free' Virgin flights?

    So sorry to hear you aren't getting anywhere, Sue. :( This is the weird bit - our half price ones were valid for ANY fare at all - so half price PE or 1st had we been able to afford it :teeth: It's so inconsistent - but consistent with Virgin's inconsistency, if you see what I mean! Sue...

    tell me about 1900 Park Fayre

    Another vote in favour of the breakfast. Food quality excellent and huge variety, although I can't compare it to other Disney restaurants as I have only been to counter service ones. We went late - 10.50 and it emptied quite quickly so we had lots of character interaction. We had Pooh...

    Ever been offered 'free' Virgin flights?

    We were delayed 24 hours last October on our way home. We were put up in a very nice hotel, fed and given half pice vouchers for "any future Virgin flight". A couple of months ago we booked our next trip (this October) using them. Got what we wanted and everything. Someone else got free...

    Who can explain the current relationship between the parts of the UK?

    Well in simple terms... Scotland has its own Parliament, within the framework of the UK parliament. Wales and NI have assemblies, which have less power. These are all recent developments. Sinn Fein (Irish nationalists) has now been accepted as part of the political framework despite links...
