LOL...very interesting comments! Some of which I could have predicted and a lot prove my very point in the forum.

Truth is some of the characters I have come across over here in person and online, I have never experienced anywhere else. Living over here is sometimes like living in a fishbowl of dramas...which I try to stay well clear of. Even people I know have said the same thing over here, that they have experience things previously alien to them.

@Bachus...yeah you are right, if someone is nasty to me I tend to take the bait and try to prove my side of the story and defend myself instead of just ignoring it. However, I would say I do not instigate trouble just to start an argument.

Anyway not long until I can refresh myself with the wonderful people I know and love back home & the rest of Europe.

The mirror mirror comment, I would consider if I had come across these people or instances all my life, truth is I have never. I have never however lived with so many different cultures or been a member of a site like our beloved QL.

@moz ....I like the sound of the wine part and may take ur advice ;) but who said I haven't a boyfriend LOL
