that was full fair to me, as far as i know its was about right i think, but its the first time i had come to the USA so i dont really know, but i did change my ticket 2 times and it cost me 50 pound each time i changed it.

They had no problem in doing that or taking my money

Or settle out of court for a flight ticket

Whilst at my local trivia night, I weighed the situation carefully. Now, given, I'm a little perturbed that I didn't get the names of all four of the Outsiders (I missed Soda-Pop and Two-Bit) in the question, but I have come to a recommendation.

SputumSucker, if you really love this man, would you let him be cleaved in two?
That way, you keep half, and ICE keeps the other half. If not, you are not then mother because only the mother would give up her child to spare its life, or something.

Therefore, I rule in favour of the plaintiff. Next.

\ There is wisdom.

WTF why would you think i am good at begging? i have worked all my life and paid my bills and my way.

I am in a bit of a mess now but i have not asked anybody for money here and will not.

And if i wont take my friend to court why the hell would i beg?

As you said i will win as it happened in her house.
