Renton 17719 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Sorry, forgot you didn't fly T-R. I've been to Cyprus and (as with everywhere I go) I tried the local plonk but it's nowt special (being kind) in my opinion. I'm sure the odd small wine maker will produce nice stuff though. By the way, has anyone been on holiday in Greece and stumbled across those little rural shops where they sell their own produce? We saw one in Corfu where they sold lush honey and olives but we skipped the vino as the bloke had a big photo of him in a massive barrel crushing the grapes with his feet. Ffs! 143328[/snapback] I had some locally produced wine in Corfu once in a restaurant - possibly the worst thing I have ever tasted. They tried to give me more the next day and took umbrage when I made my excuses.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 T-R man, do you know how much you're missing out on by not flying? Get pissed and get on a plane man! Get your husband to do the BA Baracus trick on you or something. 143317[/snapback] The worst that can happen is you suffer a protracted, painful, terrifying death, but if that happened you'd have the benefit of becoming a toontastic legend! 143321[/snapback] I dont rekon that would happen Renton, im not even in the clique But thanks for the reassuring words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8977 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 T-R have you tried hypnotherapy to get rid of your phobia? that hypnotist off the tele has self help tapes and books that could be of assistance aswell. not Derren BRown... what's his fucking name man!

Gemmill 34324 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Aye, seriously, there must be a way of overcoming something like that. If you're having to pass up free holidays and that you need to get it sorted man woman man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAUL Mc-fucking-Kenna... that's the bugger 143343[/snapback] No, i'm rather sceptical about hypnotists, though i suppose some are for real...its not so much getting on the plane, but my fear of heights and enclosed spaces that panic me, imagine if we take off and i have a panic attack because of my 'phobias' there would be nothing i could do to get off, thats what scares me most....i never put myself in any situation where i cant be in control of myself.

The Fish 8977 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 TR it could be something massive, some horrific incident from your past that has manifest as some fear of closed spaces... or it could be nowt. either way it's best to get it sorted. Some Hypnotherapists won't even sit you down for a session, just give you a few breathing exercises to do pre-flight and tell you to fuck off and stop wasting their time the only reason I wanted to get shot of the procrastination demon is that I want to earn more than me dad... and he's one of those annoying bastards who's worked hard every day of his life.. you know the type, 28 hours down the pit a day 9 days a weeks, paying pit owner for the privilege.. tosser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34324 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Aye, I'm sure part of the process is to try and stay calm and level-headed about the whole thing.
