He climbed up and pulled the child onto the balcony in less then a minute. Then I hope he was the kind of hero that didn't stop there instead he gave the kid a lecture about playing safe. Anyway why I posted this in human behavior is because people and the press starting calling him the Spider Man of Paris - spider powers had nothing to do with it - it was a person who was physically fit so if they had to put a name to his heroism it should of been Fitness Man. Then maybe kids wouldn't think they have to be bite by a radioactive spider to be a hero they just have to stay physically fit so they can get the job done.. The hero was an illegal immigrant but after what he did the French President granted him citizenship and search and rescue offered him a job.... less

I can now take constructive criticism really well, it took training but as part of my latest assignment I need to sift through a whole batch of comments from my peers and tutor on what I should have done and what I got wrong and what I could do better.. And it doesn't bother me in the least - indeed I welcome it...So, what have you become better at? PS, I should be going through one of the books I read and finding stuff to reference, so I am procrastinating; clearly I haven't got better there! less

Like there was this guy I once refused to meet - because he had displayed anger and frustration in conversation - so simply for my own safety I didn't meet him.. We did communicate after that and we met twice. He wasn't at all an unsafe person and was actually quite nice, one of the most intelligent people I know...

Oh and I have a new computer, but I haven't even opened it cos that would mean sorting out a whole shed-load of files and backing stuff up and transferring stuff.... and not to mention cooking the evening meal and walking the dog...Oh my now you can see why I'd rather be here! less
