What are you afraid of?

OMG, I think I'd better stay home. Tunnels at the Alps, ferries, planes, skinheads, what next?

me

LOL

sorry didn't want to put you off! don't worry about it!

are you staying in youth hostels during this tour or in the UK? I ask because i am planning on going to see some shows in London this year but i don't want to spend £60 in a hotel just to see a concert that costs £15

Thanks

Spiders--which is a pretty unrealistic phobia. I can squash the sucker before it hurts me, right?

Water--like swimming pools. I can walk next to the beach, but I'd never get in the water. I don't want to be on a boat or fly over water either. I can't swim and almost drowned once.

Bees, wasps, hornets--any flying stinging insect. That's a realistic fear because I'm highly allergic to them. The more you get stung, the worse your allergy becomes and the last time I got stung I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. My aunt Val did have a heart attack after being stung by bees. I even get sick if I'm bitten by a lot of mosquitos at once, but I'm not afraid of them.

flying, however I used to fly a lot when I was young. What a bird I was !!!!!!! excuse me english joke LOL.

Im also frightened of spiders but can kill them when I need to. I used to run from them then worked out they might find me so better to kill them and be done with it!!!!

The people who've been rescued from drowning (i.e. brought back from the dead by CPR) have said that drowning is actually pretty euphoric. You get a very good feeling and you fall asleep (well, die actually. . Scientists say it's some sort of a defence mechanism inside the human brain, much like the light at the end of a tunnel that many near-death - experiencees (is that a word?) have seen.

As for my fears... Well, I really only fear that I won't have time to do everything I want before I die. I don't know, I guess I'm just too practical to be afraid of spiders or snakes or planes. If it happens, it happens, there's nothing you can do about it, so why worry?

Ice

Really? You can't swim?

I love water. As long as I can reach the coast by swimming. I live by the sea and am so used to it being there that I couldn't even imagine living without some kind of big water near me

This is in totally wrong place, but I'll answer it here anyway.

We'll be staying at a hotel in Glasgow, Wolves and London and in youth hostel in Edinburgh. We wanted to stay near Hyde Park in London so that's why a hotel is the only possibility. There aren't, or at least we didn't find any hostels near Hyde Park.

ME TOO!!! I love the ocean and boats... and swimming!

Yeah, I really can't swim. I doubt anyone is going to get me into a pool to teach me how either. LOL
