From the BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page)

Quote
A New Zealand tribunal has dismissed a woman's claim against her then-partner after he failed to take her to the airport, leading her to miss her flight ahead of a concert with friends.

She accused her boyfriend at the time of allegedly breaching a "verbal contract" in which he agreed to take her to the airport, stay in her house and look after her dogs.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.   Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

I can't vote on this because I don't drive....so someone would likely take me to court if I did pick her up.
