      I think I know what you mean, we maybe paint a picture of someone who is totally different to how they post, its like meeting a famous person which I have many times over the years and they are nothing to what you thought they were , eg I met Micheal Jackson , and he was this tiny person and very shy and just looked so innocent, waiting for people to tell him what he was doing next.
      All the hype I had watched over the years and realised how vunerable he was to the people around him. TV people who on the box are cheerful polite, and turn out to be rude no manners and just total pigs .

      Well I suppose like me, more to me than just gardening and some like me others dont , is that what you mean Miraflores

        I think that Miraflores is basically saying " that you can't judge a book by the cover":snork:

          to me michael jackson was a bit mad in a very innocent way. Once he was invited to sophia loren sister. She lived somewhere with an elevator: Michael J. found it unusual and he kept going up and down through floors for a longtime!
          Other than that you could just observe him during an interview to see that some pieces were missing - like when he held his newborn out of a balcony.

          lot of mad people are geniuses and he was anyway nice good looking and cool...and I miss him.
          I mean exactly what I say in my ps and I cannot really explain it any better.

                I think miraflores is referring to "chemistry" where you can either take to someone or not.

                Sheal, we don't fly either. We did the ferry, first off the Isle of Wight, then drive to Plymouth for the ferry to Santander then drive through Spain and Portugal to Algarve ... then it was in reverse. Each summer this cost us around £1,000 with a luxury cabin and a transit van containing three cats! :cat-kittyandsmiley: Haven't done the journey now since 2004 except for a brief visit in October 2006 to sign the papers to sell the IoW property. We now happily holiday in Portugal, and now that we have a static van with extension on the hillside by the river, the expensive holidays are out too as we go to the van twice a week, like today.
