It is the same at EZ-Way -- now they give out these plastic cards that say 'Internet rate' on them & you show it -- instead of printing out coupons!^:-:

I was thinking Chicago as it's wicked cheap, she's never been there, it's a nice city, and I'm sure we can find a fun party on NYE. Although it'll be :rolleyes: cold.

Other option is to drive up to Montreal and go skiing for a day or two.

I think we'd both prefer warm.

By the way, I'd like to nominate this woman as an honorary box'ien.

I may be in Chicago for New Year's. I have 200+ in WN credit to burn, but I can't pull the trigger. It will be freezing :rolleyes: in Chicago at the end of the month!

More likely than not, the broadcast company was responding to viewer emails and demands for PC-ness. :rolleyes:

Actually, no. ABC had put out the press release on paper and that wasn't good enough for Gloria Allred.

Here's the one where Allred says "broadcast it or it doesn't count":

I've got a card - and I wish ABC would have a similar card. I hate having to print out coupons.

I'm going to do some research on going-ons tonight. I'd be + Maple Leaf.

The flight path of the 787 looks very similar to just about every approach pattern I've had going into EWR, except on LH where instead of circling and zig-zagging they fly bretzel patterns.

CNN has a live feed from BFI. There's a CO bird in the background, looks like a 739 but can't tell for sure.

If she can show that just one person in the UK watched that broadcast (or later saw it rebroadcast/streamed/etc.), and that it damaged her reputation, the network could be liable for a huge damages award in the UK. As I said, their libel laws are flat out ridiculous.

There has been a move to reform their libel laws, as it has resulted in selective forum shopping by celebs and those covered in the tabloids. They don't even bother bringing such suits in the U.S. most of the time. If you can prove somebody read/heard/watched the defamatory statement in the UK, you just hire a solicitor over there to bring your case and rake in the obscene damages award.

All manner of unsavory types have abused the UK's libel laws, like Russian Oligarchs who are unhappy with small-time bloggers in the UK Russian Ex-Pat community airing their dirty laundry. They use it as a tool to clamp down on unwanted political dissent.

hello Box,

All I can say is :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I am so beyond angry I can barely function

I will need to center myself before I can even begin a rant
