    I haven't been on much the last week, but every time I do I see this thread and read it as 'Manalo's miraculous recovery' and get all excited for a moment before I realise the mistake :(

    I think you can tell him "Thanks" from every saints fan who was alive in the 70s, including those of us in Wales :D

    Having met you, I'm simply amazed to find out that you were alive in the 70s. I had you down as being born in the mid 1980s.

    Muslim women holding hands across Westminster Bridge. Symbolism like this is the sort of heartening thing that brings hope. Positive images are needed to remind us that we stand together as human beings. When deeds are horrendous, it can sometimes make us forget this. <peacedove>

    I just did mine over the counter at the P.O. Rang for an appointment so I didn't have to queue. Took about 5 mins and they check it all for you. Can't see any benefit to doing it all online?

    Not having to get off your arse to do something is clearly a benefit at times. You do realise that means that you can conduct business in some unusual locations. :)

    If you do end up going to NY - and believe me, you won't regret it - 5 nights should be plenty for a first trip. Lots of people do 4 but you wouldn't want to do any less than that. I would advise you not to stay in The Bronx like I did (although I had no trouble it was a bit scary). Anywhere on Manhattan is fine, including Harlem which is about the cheapest place to stay on the island. Failing that, I was told by locals that Brooklyn and Queens are perfectly safe nowadays, but becoming expensive and gentrified - cheaper the further out you go, but the Metro system is excellent.

    Avoid Times Square. If you are a Scorsese fan you'll have to see it at least once at night, but trust me it's **** and you will get ripped off <ok>. Away from Times Square, food is cheap, and you can buy new Levis for 40 bucks if you shop around.

    how depressing! I have to wait 12 years to be satisfied with my life again! I guess by then the age to get your pension will be 69 so there may be some correlation.

    That's bollocks. I certainly do not "understand people's emotions" and I'd prefer it if everyone would be a bit more British and exhibit effortless sang froid at all times.
