...ferries, especially in winter when everything is lit, Dover Ferryport really is a non-stop 24 hour business. We top the car up with BP Ultimate fuel, apply the headlamp converters (the Omega's lights had an automatic adjuster) and magnetic GB plate, then cross the road to the Hoverspeed terminal to check in. ** Sadly, since 8th November 2005 this service no longer operates - a great shame as it was a fast and stylish way to cross the English Channel. ...
...stock, visible from the motorway, everything your eyes tell you still points to there being a vast difference in living standards between what used to be West and East Germany. From Cologne through to Siegen the route is undulating with some dramatic forested valley views, this is hilly, rather than mountainous scenery, but this section of the journey is far from boring. Due to the hills and some surprisingly tricky corners, no English motorway ...

This is a bit of a different review as it's not something I've written specifically for Ciao.....so here goes nothing! As many of you know I have personal experience of self-harm (which I have written about here - http://www.ciao.co.uk/Member_Advice_on_Self_harm__Review_5614015 ) An important part of my life is being a volunteer director/trustee of '''Self-Injury Support in North Cumbria (SIS)''' which is a charity based in Carlisle (but covering ...
...SAFA which covers LA postcodes) - we offer lots of services, but the main one is free counselling for people who self-harm, for as long as people want/need it. People get referred to us from GPs, mental health services, schools and other organisations, or they can refer themselves. We also deliver training, which include me talking about my personal experiences - for more info about the charity visit '''www.sis-cumbria.co.uk''' Anyway, today (well ...

Tis An Art To Being Superstitious………. I noticed a review by the lovely little Katygriff about Superstitions and looked it up on the Internet and found it very interesting indeed. So I looked at all the different Superstitions and decided to do this review in alphabetical order, so touch wood you lot will enjoy it……………..

Ok firstly I used to wear a hat in bed for this chick that had a hat fetish and trust me I was one lucky boy during that wee ...

== SAMPHIRE == In today’s credit crunch days did you know that there is a food that grows wild and is completely free I remember the day’s years ago, when a trip to our local fish market for a nice piece of cod (yes it was THAT long ago!!), that in with you succulent cod fillet the fishmonger would throw in a handful of bright green, seaweedy stuff "on the house". It usually got thrown away!! I have to admit that it is only in the last few years ...

Samphire is no longer a seasonal freebie, it has suddenly become a trendy vegetable that you'll have to pay good money for, unless you know what I know – and you soon will!!! Originally this was called "sampiere", which is a corruption of the French "Saint Pierre" (Saint Peter), Samphire was named for the patron saint of fishermen because it ...

Headnote This is a review of the different types of satsuma available. My review does not contain any information on the clementine. They are not the same thing! If you say they are, after reading this item, then something bad will happen... I just haven't decided what yet...

The first question of course, is what exactly ...

...reading the above information. Everything seems to fit now. However, I was not aware of this condition at all, and being a newly pregnant person I just 'went along' with everything I was told. I don't think I was forthright enough with my midwife. I told her I was having really bad pains shooting down my legs and all she said to me was " Oh, sciatica. that's just part of being pregnant." She didn't actually realise how much pain I was in that was ...

After all, midwives do not know everything, and of course, as in my case, do not know how you are really feeling unless you tell them properly. I was getting back pain, sleeping was difficult because of leg pains, and lying or sitting in one position for too long made it worse. Getting up to go to the toilet was a mammoth task! ...

It was dark and quiet as John Williams drove along the narrow country lane. John owned his own motor company and was driving to Exeter to look for new business premises. His eyes peered through the windscreen as the wipers made a futile effort to slap away the rain, which had continued non-stop since he had left the London office. The hedges bristled indignantly as he passed, a few reaching out long wooden fingers to scratch at their assailant. John ...
...as the darkness seemed to close in on him, creeping forward from all directions. John could see no lights at all, apart from his headlights, which cast two strong beams forward to guide him. There were no farms, no distant lights that he could see, not even a public house. John pulled the car to the side of the road by a peeling wooden signpost. He looked up, straining to read the sign in the dark and rain. ‘Teddingford 2m’ it declared. “Teddingford? ...

Last night I watched the first installment of the drama (in America it will be called a "mini-series", or perhaps on this occasion "television event") "The Path to 9/11". I found it riveting and terrifying, the sense of inevitability as the U.S. continued to miss the gravity of the growing terrorist movement in the years between the original attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, leading up to September 11, 2001. On September 11, 2001, I was ...

The sense of shock and confusion was so huge, and so minute I imagine to what everyone in NY must have been going through. I tried calling my friends there but of course phone lines were down. I believed most people I knew to be o.k. though as I didn't know anyone who ...

Before I begin I need to point out I have been a user of Ciao for just under 3 weeks. I decided last week it might make interesting reading for a newcomer to follow the progress of someone just slightly ahead of them. This way they can establish a journey that they potentially could take. What I never realised is that you could not have more than one listing under a section. My initial review: Two weeks on: A Ciao experience, sits under the section ...
...there too. Alas I was wrong, it will only let me edit this review and not add a new one. So this review has been moved to this section. The reason I have done this rather than updating last weeks, is because some people won't read an updated review. I have no intentions of doing one of these every week, I just thought maybe for the first month I would. Those are the crucial times of discovery; a web site will become a hit or miss area during that ...
