Lots of comments were posted by people who said that this was discrimination against these poor girls’… Continue reading ARE YOUR LEGGINGS BEING DISRESPECTFUL

COMFIER IN THE MIDDLE SEAT?

COMFIER IN THE MIDDLE SEAT? You know I have had my gripes in the past about the middle seat – as I am a “middle seat” person by default. (Seems I always get that darn seat!) So imagine my surprise and delight when I learned that a newer and better middle seat design is… Continue reading COMFIER IN THE MIDDLE SEAT?

Is this a face crime?

Face-crime? I must explain a little.

In Newspeak this is called facecrime. So what has this to do with… Continue reading Is this a face crime?
