desmondTUTU 0 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 If she has not been told to change her plea at least once by now she needs a new legal team. Unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5297 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 How long is that going to drag on, she's guilty as sin ffs. I don't understand how this is still going. It's been like 2 years hasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmondTUTU 0 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Major issues will arise later on for her. How can the editor not know about the newspapers exclusive stories? Its ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 337 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Very random but I woke up at 6.15 this morning and it was getting light. Roll on Spring - I'm sure winter leaves me with a bit of SAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10966 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Trip advisor was a nice idea, but it's hopelessy flawed. An outstanding hotel, with great staff is a beautiful location could get a low score because some mardy cow asked for medium rare steak and received it not exactly to her liking. I'll stick to either freinds' recommendations or reviews that don't come from the general public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15721 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'll still read Tripadvisor but tend not to pay attention to the absolute scores or relative ratings - the well-written reviews can be useful for stuff you don't necessarily pick up elsewhere (what are the mattresses like, how's the wi-fi coverage, have there been any obvious changes recently that won't be reflected in the overall score, does the short walk to the beach take you straight past a sewage plant, etc.). You can tend to spot the reviews where someone's narked about something specific and read between the lines (or just ignore them). One of the places we looked at for Gran Canaria had a review that was describing the facilities perfectly normally then suddenly went all caps to report that "a Spanish child by the pool DID A POO OMG".

Meenzer 15721 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I don't see any owner's response? The review I meant is gone too. Apparently going viral has drawn Tripadvisor's attention to it. Boooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desmondTUTU 0 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think the trip advisor is a good site. You shouldn't take too much notice of the finnicky customers who complain for cheap holidays. The information on there is excellent for apartments to rent anywhere in the world and it gives info about the local area ie taxis money exchanges and restaurants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
