I hope in fact that there won't be 25 more years of travelling, though the government keeps upping the retirement age, so who knows?!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-75989721168577252892011-07-13T06:55:51.345+01:002011-07-13T06:55:51.345+01:00It's great that you can look at all these mish...It's great that you can look at all these mishaps and smile (and make us all smile or even laugh with you).

I had two identical pairs of black suit pants that always did the hem thing on me. Once after a very nice reception I realized that I'd been sporting distinctly droopy hems all the time - and there I was thinking that I'd been doing quite well for myself. <br /Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-85269333120232151202011-07-04T22:48:56.881+01:002011-07-04T22:48:56.881+01:00Hi again,

Like you I have had the exploding button incident - in my case just before a meeting in Germany, also revealing the lingerie du jour - and though I had no spare outfit to hand, I managed to secure the front of the dress after a fashion using a safety pin from a sewing kit I happened to have in my Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-6175463894023491822011-07-04T22:02:55.685+01:002011-07-04T22:02:55.685+01:00By the way, your tale of the elderly Dutch pilot r...By the way, your tale of the elderly Dutch pilot reminded me of the Dean Martin - Foster Brooks classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjoZ_R6h7rA<br /><br />The evidence that one should be suspicious of elderly pĂlots is adding up.Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-89531256953709664092011-07-04T21:57:36.391+01:002011-07-04T21:57:36.391+01:00I laughed out loud when reading about the water ov...I laughed out loud when reading about the water over the head incident. Not because I'm the sort of person who generally takes pleasure in the misfortune of others, but because the same thing could have happend to me. I have Murphy's law in my DNA! <br /><br />I commute to Copenhagen by train almost every day - a round trip of about 340 km. One morning I was sitting there, quitely as Marienoreply@blogger.com
