Given a downward slope like that, what can we expect in 15 years time?

Makes you think, eh? I can't imagine anyone worse than Jade Goody, but I'm sure she exists somewhere.

Did you not manage a cheeky photo with your phone?

I'll see what I can do next time I see her. My phone camera is s h y t e though.

Ah good old Sammy, icon of the eighties. I suppose her equivalent now is Jade Goody. Conclusive proof that society has declined for ever.

On a similar analogy comparing the 80s and the 00s:

Gary Lineker <-> David Beckham


See what I mean? Tis the end of civilisation.

I was on a flight from Boston back to London in 1991 with a passably attractive blonde sitting next to me. She wasn't that tall, and when she leant forward I noticed that she had an unusually broad upper back. I didn't talk to her the whole flight, and hoped she didn't notice the non-stop silent farts I was making the whole trip. (I don't usually have a problem, it must have been something I ate.)

Half an hour before we landed, she started putting on make-up, which I thought was slightly odd. As she got herself ready, she glanced inside her passport, and I noticed her name. It seemed vaguely familiar, I wondered where I'd heard it. Samantha Fox, anyone?

I pulled on a flight once with a young attractive girl sat to my right. Got the girls number and everything.

Amazing what you can do when your wife is asleep in the seat to your left.

So the moral of my story must be that the girl actually liked me and hoped I will chat her up, but I blown it!

I thought she was meant to blow you. Up, that is.

If you really are curious and want an overview, I recommend this - it's not too mathematical:

Thanks sas. I don't know how long it would hold my interest, so $54 for second hand book sounds a lot.

BTW Does it include suitable chat-up lines for derivative freaks?

"So, I get a bit agitated and then notice the girl is reading something - you can't see her face as it's hidden but you can see where she looks: she was holding something in her hands below the table."

She could well have looked like a bulldog sucking a pi55 stained wasp

I once took the Eurostar trip and was assigned an almost empty carriage, except for the blond sat next to me. The seat assignments had presumably been a bit of a joke by the ticket saleswoman . The girl moved to another seat. A boring story with no punchline, but at least I kept it short.
