So critical of the press lately. ;) There was a valid reason for it. There was a theft involved. The police need help finding the purse because they can't ID the woman without it.

No criticism - my understanding is that the press is leery of publicising jumpers for fear of encouraging more of the same. I dunno if this is actually true or just some rumour I heard, though.

They do n't normally publish suicides of any kind. this one is different for what I said above. They will never mention her by name, though.

I want to thank the Poles of the world for offering really inexplicably cheap flights between Warsaw and San Francisco and also building a rail line between the city center and Chopin International Airport. That is going to make the tail end of my European adventure/ordeal much, much easier.  :thumbsup:

Whatever, dumbass. My wife is hotter than her and manages to pull down almost six figures. Also, why go to the Mail about it? Oh, I guess the working life is just not for me. Call a press conference!

Yeah there is a well respected manager in my office who is way hotter than her.  I guess any excuse for failure will do :P

Interesting tidbit: in 1936 the British Government was listening in on the calls from King Edward VIII.
