Re: Clumsy in the hot seat.

Wow, a wild elephant seems less dangerous but I still think I would rather encounter a lion! If it killed me I would be gone quickly but I am not sure how much harm. without death, an elephant could do!

Re: Clumsy in the hot seat.

Elephants can do a lot of damage, it mostly ends in death if one decides to remove you. A party of Italians on safara had their vehicle attacked by an elephant, the elephant overturned the vehicle, all the people were lucky they survived, some had serious injuries. They survived only because the elephant broke a tusk whilst attacking the vehicle and presumably the pain caused it to panic and run off. Always a bad idea to mess with elephants.

Re: Clumsy in the hot seat.

Hi Clumsy, some great answers here.

As it is hot most of the time in Spain, what type of casual clothes are your favourite to wear around the house?

Re: Clumsy in the hot seat.

It sounds as though you've moved around a lot Clumsy. Was it to do with work or for pleasure?

Re: Clumsy in the hot seat.

I am with you Clumsy on Singapore. such a beautiful place. but would you consider ever coming back to dear old Blighty to live or will you always live abroad?

Re: Clumsy in the hot seat.

Both Carol. Holidays and work, always European countries for work, truck/motor shows, at which we put in an attendance, sometimes invitations from various companies to various PR events or "bribes", as I liked to call them, for the trade press. I did get to see the inside of truck factories, which was, dare I say it? mostly boring. After 12 years of press/PR I decided do something different, so more study and I became a social worker, working mostly with people with learning difficulties.

Re: Clumsy in the hot seat.

It isn´t always hot Cedronella, the winter months, although mostly sunny, can be cold, so it´s jeans and jumpers for me. In the summer when it´s really hot, just loose sundresses and when in house I am usually to be seen with a large piece of paper towel tied round my head looking like a ninja turtle.

Re: Clumsy in the hot seat.

I´m glad it´s not just me tina, I just love Singapore. I even went back there once just to buy a suitcase I needed a new suitcase, mine fell apart, I saw one in Singapore that I really liked. Mr Clumsy assured me I would be able to get one just like it back in England, well I couldn´t, so I went back to Singapore to get it. I still have it.

I wouldn´t be too happy to have to come back to UK to live, I´m very happy here in Spain, but who knows what the future will bring?

Re: Clumsy in the hot seat.

Clumsy, what is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you ?

Re: Clumsy in the hot seat.

I´ve more than a few of those Gilly, but one memorable one was in Harrogate at the truck show. I was there with my boss Pat and his wife Carol. All 3 of us were going to different company dinners that night, but the night always begins with a round of cocktail parties which all the major companies there throw. After that it´s off to the various dinners. Carol and I were having a great time going from one party to another, then Pat appeared to collect Carol, they were off to dinner with Leyland Daf. A few seconds later the Cummins Engine Company man came dashing in, saying he had been looking for me all over the place. Yes, I had forgotten I was going to their dinner and they had a coach organised to take their guests. I of course had missed it, so a taxi was organised to take me and the PR man. There were only 2 females at this dinner, myself and a woman from a Scottish Truck magazine. All went well, until the after dinner speeches when Cummins Company Chairman was thanking everyone for coming, "especially (L)
from Truck magazine who not only cost us a taxi fare to get here but is costing us one back as well, so we have a gift for her so she won´t be late again", he then presented me with the biggest alarm clock you can imagine, goodness knows where they got hold of it before I arrived, but the laughing and cheering had me very red faced and squirming.
