Back From Away

Happy Birthday!!!!!

I am searching my conscience at the moment andhave the following question:

Is it wrong to have a friend(s) at a different location(s) who you go and see when in that area to have a few drinks (or not)end up sleeping with them and never be in a formal relationship with them?

My feeling is that it's ok as long as you are both clear on the fact that it is what it is and that neither person expects more than the other is willing to give.

1. Where should the boundaries lie though?
2. What if the other person has a partner?
3. What if you have a partner?
4. What if you both have?
5. What if you feel unfulfilled at home and behaving in this way has a positive effect on you.
6. What if you get too close.

Unusually for a Friday I've found myself very down in the mouth needing vast amounts of caffeine just to function...No chance of a smile from me today and then I read the following piece.

Now where I can't confirm the authenticity of the event, I can bask in the warm glow of the sentiment, and feel a wave of Pride at the British way sweep over me.
At the same time I can sneer at the poisonous snakes (Racists)within our society who have the cheek to apply the word 'British' to their descriptor.

This scene took place on a British Airways flight between Johannesburg , South Africa & London .

A white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man.

Very disturbed by this, she called the air hostess. 'You obviously do not see it then?' she asked. 'You placed me next to a black man. I did not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat.'
'Be calm please,' the hostess replied.
'Almost all the places on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another place is available.'

The hostess went away & then came back a few minutes later..
'Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in Economy Class.

I spoke to the captain & he informed me that there is also no seat in Business Class. All the same, we still have one place in First Class.'

Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued.
'It is not usual for our company to permit someone from Economy Class to sit in First Class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting.'

The Hostess turned to the black guy, & said, 'Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in First Class.'

At that moment, the other passengers, who'd been shocked by what they had just witnessed, stood up & applauded.

This is a true story. If you are against racism, please send this to all your friends.

WELL DONE, British Airways!!

Another blow against those who would seek to treat others in a negative manner due to their race creed culture or sexuality.!
