I am now a little nervous about the many mentions of pick pockets in Rome. I will be traveling alone(single female) and will walk from the main train station to my hotel about 15 minutes away with a rolling suitcase. Hotel Centro- Should I expect a bump and run or will anyone try to seriously grab my suitcase out of my hand?

pick pockets in Rome
Report Abuse
Pick pockets are everywhere. Be sure you have your valuables in a safe place on your person so thieves cannot grab them. Walk with confidence and don't look like a tourist!
Report Abuse
***don't look like a tourist!***
Pry tell us exactly how do you do that?
Report Abuse
Yes -- definitely avoid looking like a tourist . . . dragging a suitcase??? Just how does one manage that?
blaneturner: Pickpockets don't want your suitcase -- they want your €€/$$/credit cards. If you are nervous use a money belt -- at least for the walk to from the station to your hotel.
Report Abuse
I've spent many hours lurking around Termini train station - as a rail nut watching trains and inside the station may be the biggest problem - folks coming up and asking questions or showing you some piece of paper whilst their cohorts are pickpocketing you - but if you know there is a problem then the problem is largely avoidable - do as janis says carry all valuables in a secure money belt that goes under your clothes in front - not a thing around you neck that could be wrenched off in the worst scenario.
Outside the station there is at times a seedy crowd but that does not mean they are all out to get you. Just keep walking at a steady pace and just ignore anyone coming up to you for anything.
Though pickpockets are a bane of the station and area it is unlikely to happen - especially if you know there is a problem.
Put angst to rest - in hours of lurking around the station I've never had a problem but I did avoid talking to once a group of several immigrant types who came to me when I was reading the posted timetable and asked me to help them - they may have been sincere or they could have been thieves working in a group with the old distraction and pickpocket routine.
There was a recent Fodor's thread talking about real problems inside Termini station - try to track it down.
Report Abuse
Frankly as a woman alone there is no way I would haul my luggage through the streets like that - but just hop a cab. They are cheap in Rome and you aren;t going that far. (Also don;t know exactly where the hotel is - but have you dealt the Roman traffic before - most intersections dont have traffic lights.)
For other days just be sure everything in your purse or daypack (worn cross body) is secure. And NEVER put it down anywhere - not even in public rooms of your hotel.
Report Abuse
Yes to getting a cab instead. Between following directions, traffic, and cobblestones, I just wouldn't want to bother with dragging even a small rolling suitcase when a cab is easy to find and not that expensive.
Report Abuse
Your hotel is only 700 meters (maybe 10 blocks) from Termini, and it probably wouldn't take more than 10 minutes to walk there. But I also wouldn't want to pull a suitcase for several blocks, and I admit I don't pinch euros when I travel.
Report Abuse
Rome's not super dangerous or anything and a 15 minute walk should be doable but I don't think that's the best idea after dark. Not every guy lurking out there is a nice dude who wants to help you with your bag at night and that would be a bad time to have your hands full. If you do it wear a moneybelt anyway. Taxis are cheap and that would be a way better option than having to drag your bag down possibly narrow crowded streets or through Rome traffic. I don't know where your hotel is exactly but I'm sure there's a bus tram or train that runs to it from Termini if it's only a 15 min walk? That's cheap and safe.

I wish people would stop equating "immigrant types" as suspect thieves on Fodor's. Rome has a large and active population of native Italian thieves, including pickpockets and bag snatchers and "helpers", plus Italian overlords and corrupt police who control the streets of Rome and the train station areas and tourist sites.
Furthermore, most "Fodorites" have no real idea who looks "Italian" and who doesn't. They are ready to identify anyone who behaves like a potential pickpockets as a non-Italian. It's circular prejudice.
People on Fodor's talk and post as if this kind of language had no real negative consequences to real live innocent human beings. Maybe they should blather less on the internet and read a few more books of 20th c. European history, and what followed from accusations of most gypsy and Jews being thieves and running pickpocketing gangs.
Anybody traveling in a situation new to them anywhere in the world, where they don't speak the language or know their way around is well advised to resist the urge to respond to strangers, no matter what they look like to you, and to keep all valuables very secure. And try to keep an open mind as well as open eyes about all the immigrants you'll be seeing in European train stations these days. Many of them -- probably most of them -- are finer people then you'll encounter in the most "respectable" meeting places of Europe.

The Hotel Centro looks to be no more than a 5 minute walk from Termini, assuming no mobility problems. I'd be embarrassed to take a cab that short a distance. And although there may be some unsavory types hanging around the train station, I've always felt perfectly safe in that area. Just use common sense, and keep walking.
Report Abuse
Huh? One poster used the term "immigrants" and that equates to "most Fodorites". That a jump.

I've been to Rome at least 20 times. The first time, I got lost and a 'helpful native' kept wanting to carry my suitcase for me. I declined and he left me alone.
If you're arriving during daylight, you really have nothing to worry about as long as you use common sense. If it's dark, I still feel you'll be okay. The Termini area gets bad comments here because, for the most part, it's not as elegant as many other areas; but, it's really no worse than that around the Gare du Nord in Paris or Victoria Station in London.
It's really a short walk and if you stay on the very well lit streets, I don't think you have anything to be concerned about.
Report Abuse
As mentioned way earlier on this tread, thieves don't want to steal your clothing/suitcase.
It's cash, iPhones, etc. that would be the target. Just have your purse/valuables secured someone on your person (cross-body bag, money belt, whatever) while you're in transit in public.
Or take the suggestion of grabbing a taxi even though it's only a short distance, if you are nervous about this.

"One poster used the term "immigrants" "
Interesting that the one poster who HAS come close to equating "immigrants" with thieves rarely loses an opportunity to attack those he thinks support Britain's Conservative party in general or Margaret Thatcher in particular.
Doesn't, of course, prove that all pseudo-liberals are bigots. But it does indicate just what repulsive foundations much opposition to realistic politics is built on.

Having traveled in Italy since 1980 and every year since 2005, I've witnessed many tourists being accosted by individuals and groups of thieves. Now, since we are in our late 60's we seem to be more of a target, so we try to extra aware of our surroundings. Incidentally, we've stopped using Bus #64 to go to the Vatican because it's nickname is the "Pickpocket Express."
In May, 2014 three well dressed young men, about 10-12 years old, tried to do the "stall, bump, and dip" routine on me at the Ottaviano Metro station. Fortunately, they were unsuccessful and they would have only gotten one day's spending money.
In July, 2009 a woman tried to pick my pocket on the metro going to the Colosseum and I caught her and beat her with a water bottle. She was unsuccessful.
As a rule of thumb, I wear a money belt in the big cities and only carry one day's cash in a pocket. If a thief is successful, that person will only have some money and our vacation will not be ruined.
For the last two years we've used limo services to meet and/or take us to the airport, and they are worth every euro. We do not need to drag the luggage very far using this strategy; door to door service.
The thieves present the bank robber Willie Sutton's philosophy toward thievery. When asked why he robbed banks, Willie is alleged to have responded, "That's where they keep the money." Well, the pickpockets know tourists have valuable items such as cash, credit cards, cameras, cell phones, etc. Plus, if they are caught it's unlikely the tourist will return to press charges.
Enjoy your travels, but remain alert.
Buon viaggio,

I used immigrant types because much of the problem is with illegal and legal immigrants who have no money, may be drug addicts or whatever - yes it is not PC to say to say watch out for immigrant types coming up to you but I guess non-ethnic Italians seem to IME be the bulk of street theft - the 'immigrant types' who came up to me looked like Albanians just off the boat - sorry for offending righteous flanner or others.
same with using Gypsy or Romani girls who are a plague of Paris right now - working in pairs - if they come up to me with a petition to sign I sign off right away.
Reality is reality and best to warn folks to the real situation. Ain't the immigrants' fault that they are allowed into a country where they have no jobs or much income and have to resort to such activities.
Fortress Britannia has not had to grapple with many illegal aliens like much of Europe.

"Ain't the immigrants fault that they are allowed into a country where they have no jobs..." ??? Lots of them haven't been "allowed" in, they just turn up. And of course it's their "fault", they chose to go there, nobody forced them to.

By allowed I meant tolerated once there - a simple check of documents that I believe Europeans must carry would show they are illegal - there are whole camps of illegals in various cities in Italy I understand - easier to spot them and give them the boot - better to assimilate them but France has learnt that that is pie in the sky.

so at least for some French your ideas are not far out.

Wow PalenQ, that's a pretty out there idea your son's uncle has!
No easy answer to the problem of illegal immigrants, many of them throw their documents away. I think some countries lack the political will to send them home or keep them in centres until they can be properly processed.
Italian friends have told me some towns are required to provide public housing for them, but yes, many of them end up in camps. We saw some of those outside Naples, I thought they were garbage dumps at first, it was bad.
Lots of the Italian ones end up working for the Mafia, all those ones you see selling the fake designer crap and going around selling socks and other little bits and pieces. They are apparently taken to a warehouse each day and given a sum of money and get to choose their stock. At the end of the day they have to pay back the money plus interest. I don't know how they survive and their own countries must be real hellholes for their European life to be better.

Last year I traveled to Rome alone (I am female) and I walked from the train station to my hotel while rolling my suitcase behind me. It was about a 10 minute walk. I walked in a very brisk pace and I kept looking all around me as I walked. I was OK but if it makes you uncomfortable then of course take a cab.
Report Abuse
Just to clarify PalenQ, by camps I meant make-shift shanty-town type camps, not official government sanctioned camps. Nobody is keeping them in there, what is keeping them in those living conditions is lack of money and probably lack of official paperwork.
Report Abuse
Just to clarify, what I wrote above is that most "Fodorites" cannot distinguish an immigrant from a Italian (let alone an immigrant or refugee with documents) and I stand by that assertion. And it obvious from continuing to read the thread that most people do talk on Fodor's as if their bigotry posed no negative consequence to vulnerable people -- and when this is pointed out, those who point it out are attacked by regular posters, who are more concerned with their petty selves and grudges and being a "Fodorite" in good standing than they are with Europe or other people.
Just about everything PalenQ pigheadedly believes about Italy and Fortress Europe based on one or two conversations or experiences is nonsense, and bigoted nonsense at that.
Pickpockets on the street in Rome -- the subject of this thread, not refugee camps and shanty towns -- would not exist if Italians were not making money off it. If Italians were not making money on it, the problem would vanish overnight. Italians are responsible for the security of the Italian train stations, and they have plenty of resources to clean it up if they can find a reason to do that. To continue to talk vaguely about "immigrant-types" is -- well, not just stupid but evil (don't flatter yourself thinking you are being bravely "politically correct."
Janisj, yestravel, I'm not here for you. But I won't dispute that is very, very hard to read what I read on Fodor's from Fodorties, and not want to undo it, for the sake of other people. It is contemptible, and it's too bad you want to attack me relentlessly for pointing it out.

I have been to Rome several times and travelled as a woman alone. Whilst I would avoid dragging my suitcase anywhere- because I want to avoid looking like a tourist (which is quite easy to do and very achievable)- I have never felt unsafe in Rome and have never been pick pocketed...
Get yourself a good over the body bag which zips shut- and even better- with a zip that clips once its shut so you can rest assured no ones going to get their hand in there no matter how distracted you get. Mine is Pacsafe and its served me well for years of travel. Always have it around your body even when sitting down so it can't be quickly snapped up.
Don't carry a map on your way from the station to the hotel...or anywhere for that matter (use your phone and google maps its MUCH less obvious that your a traveler that way) and don't stop for anyone asking you "where your going" "where your from" ect ect -safe travel is common sense. Look confident and like you know where your going, keep your valuables close and zipped up-its always worked for me.

It's almost impossible not to look like a tourist. It doesn't even make sense to try, because there are over 12 million tourists in Rome every year, and only about 100 pickpockets. As long as you don't look like easy pickings, they'll find someone more distracted.
Just stay alert, walk purposefully, and try not to look rich. As others have said, thieves are not likely to want your suitcase. They mostly want cash and phones, even more than credit cards. Violent crime is very rare in Rome.
I am often in Rome alone, and walk around after dark. (Anyway, I don't see where Blaneturner said she was arriving after dark.) I just use my regular shoulder bag, but keep it towards the front in crowded places. I've never felt the need for a money belt in Rome, and even though I've been going there several times a year since 1994, I've never had anything stolen from me there.

Well just to clarify, I will put my hand up as the one who got sidetracked by one of PalenQ's remarks. I do believe that there are Italian pickpockets and don't believe it is illegal immigrants for the most part that you have to watch out for. From what I have seen, the Africans seem to sell the knock off stuff and the little household items and the Bangladeshi's seem to sell the selfie sticks and sometimes goofy little toys. (some of them may well be there legally, but I bet most of them aren't)
I don't feel afraid of them, they are annoying occasionally but if you ignore them they go away. Mostly I feel sorry for them and wonder what their lives were like before to make this a better life.
There are Roma operating all over the place and if it is not PC to say so, well too bad. I am not saying all Roma do this but there are a significant number who do. Despite all my awareness I narrowly escaped being robbed in the Florence train station by a team of three..they were good, but not that good. And there are cops all over that train station, they just seem to turn a blind eye.
I feel perfectly safe in Europe to walk around with a regular handbag, taking the normal big city precautions etc. When friends ask for my advice I never want to scare them but just make them aware of what they may encounter.

So the Italians you claim are responsible for a lot of petty street crime were Romani - who no doubt are probably legally there - with the free movement of people in the EU?
OK those Italians yes and no doubt some ethnic Italians too but I still think much of the crime is due to appalling living conditions in unofficial camps mentioned above and is an act of desperation - not that they are bad people - just desperate folks who would probably jump at a good job, good housing, etc.

Pal, I am sure there are a lot of pickpockets/thieves in Italy who are non -Roma, Italians. Just like there are thieves here in my country who were born and bred here. In every society you are going to have people who make a career out of theft and dishonesty. I wasn't trying to imply all pickpockets are Roma like the ones I encountered.
But sometimes on this forum I read remarks that try to lead people to believe that there is no such thing as Roma pickpocketing rings and other scams; I think when you travel it is important to be aware of all the things that are out there.
I have no idea how many Roma were born in Italy and how many have freedom of movement, from what I understand that freedom of movement has time limitations. I do understand they are not treated very well in Europe.
And it would be interesting to read some stats on how many of these petty crimes are committed by immigrants, I am not so sure of your assertions. As I said above, many of them get roped in by one Mafia group or another to sell their dodgy goods.

Folks, Fodorites, hello?
The bottom line is that the only helpful advice you can give to fellow travelers regarding pickpockets anywhere is and always will be: Wear a money belt. Secure your belongings.
The notion that you are being helpful spreading half-baked ideas about "immigrant-types" and the you are so knowledgeable as to guide other people to racial profiling in wrong and unhelpful -- and it actually puts many vulnerable people into danger -- which many of you appear utterly oblivious to, despite claiming to be sociological experts on urban risk in Europe.
If you come to Europe by plane rather than a leaky dinghy, or in the clutches of a sex trafficker or child labor trafficker, if you are coming to have fun rather than out of desperation, you are one helluva lucky person in this world. Please leave immigrants alone, verbally and on the internet. You know nothing about them and are not being helpful to other travelers. If you want to be helpful, tell people who are worried about pickpockets the truth: Wear a money belt. Don't go looking to get comfy with Italians and hostile to immigrants. Wear a money belt.
That's all. Is is really so hard to do that?

Spot on! Anyone who still refers to a human being as "an illegal" is beneath notice, anyway.
But I do have a question: why so much pickpocketing in Europe (it seems) and not in the US? Travelers to the US are warned about lots of things--remember the horrible spate of violent carjackings of rental cars in Orlando? Or, on a more mundane note, purse snatching seems something to be aware of--but not pickpockets.
What gives? And I am not looking for more paragraphs about the Roma! I'm just curious. Are American thieves too lazy to learn the fine art of pickpocketing??
Report Abuse
There are plenty of pickpockets and strong arm robberies all over the place - done by Americans though a huge proportion by drug addicts, the mentally ill or opportunists - but mainly drug addicts to buy a fix - these are in areas tourists rarely go.
University campuses are a target with all the I phone and lap tops, etc - in my university town - Ann Arbor, an upscale place for sure there have been many such thefts from study places or late at night strong-arm robberies of drunk students stumbling home.
they do it for the same reasons illegal immigrants in Rome do it and this is not my idea or take but often given by others too - get money for food in their case or perhaps drugs - but smack in our case.

Do people who are victims of pickpockets/bad-snatchers in the US post regularly on these or other travel forums? IME not so much, but they do when they/their neighbours/friends/ cousin's mate from round the corner get dipped in Barcelona.
Rome and Barcelona are the only places that I have visited where I felt before I went that using a money belt was advisable. Once I'd been there once I realised that I needn't worry so much and didn't bother again. But it is always worth being sensible and using the same precautions you would at home.
That is not to say I blame the victims - sometimes the thieves of what ever hue are just smarter than we are.

Maybe my confusion is just a terminology problem. When I say "pickpocket", I mean someone with nimble fingers reaching stealthily into my clothes or bag while I'm wearing/carrying them. Thefts from bags left unattended, or the snatching of entire bags is, for me, a different category.
And certainly what little I know about this subject is entirely anecdotal.
None of this is remotely important, of course.

What is important that there is a real problem around Termini station and other tourist hubs - so just take precautions advised above and be leering of anyone of any ethnic background, including pure Italian, coming up to you. Never carry a wallet in a back pocket as I still see some naive Americans doing places or ladies wearing the family jewels (once in Madrid at a tourist office a woman staffer told one American so wearing jewels 'to take them off - don't wear them in public' - Madrid having a much bigger problem than Rome and even strong-arm muggings, rare in Rome or other places outside of Madrid and Barcelona it seems IME.

I have read so much nonsense in travel blogs written by visitors to Italy that I can't take that piece of evidence seriously, Palenq.
My daughter studied in Rome in 1994, 20 years before that, at a center for classical studies, along with a whole flock of young Americans, predominantly women. I don't think there was any lack of pulchritude in the group. Already at that time, catcalls and lip-smacking were rare. The one place my daughter encountered it was in Bologna and it was an old man.
Once upon a time, most young Italian women were rather strictly chaperoned, and whistling and catcalling were directed at women who were unaccompanied. My husband remembers those days, although he wasn't the type who engaged in that kind of behavior. He was a strictly brought up young man, and an engineer, to boot. I don't know when that epoch ended, and it probably ended later in the south than in the north, but it's definitely been over as far south as Rome since much longer ago than 2005.
Of course, there are still men who try to pick up women, both Italian and immigrant. They're much more subtle now. (Twenty years after my daughter studied in Rome, this past July, an old man engaged my daughter in conversation and invited her to come and have a coffee at a nearby bar, for example.)

OP - I hope you can navigate this post and dig through the relevant information rather than all the spite and venom from people who have been on this forum since the Risorgimento and see personal attacks as a weird kind of sport.
To answer your question. I would take a taxi. They wait in front, there is a line outside and to your left. It will cost you 5-7 euro if that. This is not to avoid pickpockets/thieves/assorted scoundrels but simply to make it easier for you, late at night in an unfamiliar city.
In terms of keeping belongings secure, use a cross body bag rather than a 'bum bag/fanny pack' or a backpack they are easy to access and look like a regular handbag rather than a tourist accessory. Lost count of how many times I get bumped in the face by backpacks - people who wear them forget about their personal space. You also have to take them off to access anything.

When a weird OP asks about rapes in Sweden, men are accused of taking it lightly.
The same men saying that Italians do whistle pretty girls are now bashed.
Strange and not consitent. Except about being bashed...
How does one translate 'deux poids deux mesures' in English ?

Pariswat, if my french is up to it, I think that the following captures it best:
"What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander"

We say "what's good for the goose is good for the gander."

Or it may be men notice this more than women?

You're kidding, right?>
Well I should have said older women who are not the target of such unasked for attention. And I've seen American guys do it here too but not so blatant as in Italy and that was not nearly 30-40 years ago but just a few years ago- not sure if it has changed in the past several years though as bvienci claims ('that was 30-40 years ago perhaps").
Report Abuse
That may be what YOU say, Pal, but given that Pariswat is a francophone living in Europe, the original ENGLISH saying may be more relevant.

PalenQ, i think you are a man, yes? If so, I suggest you not try to speak for women of any age. If I am wrong, then I apologize for "misgendering" you.

Thanks, I love these idioms.
But 2 poids 2 mesures translates into 'double standard', or if ones wants to look well taught, 'Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi' - which as everybody knows, translates into 'what is ok for Jupiter is not ok for the cows'.
(Wikipedia is my friend). Bovi gave 'boeuf' - beef and 'bovidés'.

I was in Rome two years ago. We had a lovely visit and were standing on the platform at the Termini train station waiting for the train to pull in. As we got on, a young man grabbed my suitcase and said he'd put it above my seat. We were all close together and, not thinking fast enough, I let him. As he duly put the suitcase above my head, he held his hand out for a tip and then jumped off the train. His buddy had pulled the same trick on another passenger.
This was not pickpocketing but it goes to show how clever some people can be to make money.

And I hope that you smiled sweetly at him as you shut the carriage door, kleeblatt. [which my laptop wants to write as "keelboat"]. we had people offer to "help" us with the ticket machines at Termini; they got a firm "non, grazie" which we repeated until they went away.

@ kleeblat - this is why information from recent travellers and locals is always more relevant.
This does not happen at Termini now - only those with a ticket can access the platforms.

Termini is a sprawling two-tiered station outside of the platform area and a recent thread here pointed to rampant problems with street crime in and around the station. Maybe police were so embarassed by the resulting pub that they finally stepped in and stamped it out?
Again it is very very unlikely to be victimized anyway but be especially careful in Termini station - avoid anyone coming up to you and carry valuables in a secure under the clothes money belt or pouch.
Report Abuse
@ PalenQ - I was referring to the 'helpers' who can jump aboard the trains with someone's luggage and demand a tip for loading luggage in the racks.
I know the station. I am there often.
I don't know how anyone can 'avoid anyone coming up to you'? What do you do - run away? This week the police presence at Termini - complete with dogs - was huge. I saw no itinerants and there was just one beggar - the 'old lady' in black who haunts the taxi rank. If you look closely, she is a man (check her hands).

Blueeyedcod: Thanks for the info. Good to hear they got rid of this kind of "business."

I don't know how anyone can 'avoid anyone coming up to you'?>
I mean asking you questions about something - the old distraction routine - I rarely have anyone coming up to me out of the blue to ask me questions but when it happened once with several Albanian types who may have been sincere I just kept good notice of my belongings said I don't know and moved on.
Glad to see Termini is now safe.

Unanswered: Calculating disc space in Analysis Services
I need to know the amount of disc space i will be needing using the MS Analysis Services.
Is there a way i can calculate how much disc space will be used in several senarios?
for example: i know i have n dimensions and y rows of data, and i what x percent of aggrigations, the disc space would be..... some kind of calculation function using all these parameters....
Is there some kind of estimation i can do in order to calculate this amount of disc space?

My first attempt at a podcast - and yes, I know the sound is really bad, the levels are all wrong and my speaking is too loud. But it was just an experiment really and an exercise in some in productive procrastination (paradox much?)
I mention Remembrance Day at the beginning and the truly sad fact that Harry Patch - last of the WWI veterans died earlier this year. I watched some of the services going on around the country and was struck by what a momentus thing this was - there are no soliders left who fought in that war. It has really passed into the realm of history.
Anyway, I'd really love to follow this up and make a short 10 minute podcast every week featuring some new tunes that I like to seek out on a regular basis and some general favourites of mine. I'm more trying to teach myself some new skills (and remember some old editing ones) than produce a totally groundbreaking podcast but if anyone listens to it and enjoys it along the way then hurrah! It's a bonus.

Dyson Zorb Carpet Maintenance Powder
According to the manufacturer, Dyson's proprietary miracle powder for carpets comes with "millions of tiny sponges to absorb dirt" and is "100% recycled and biodegradable," with "dermatologically balanced" ingredients (we take that to mean it is fairly hypoallergenic). We used it to perk up a gorgeous but well-used rug, and found that we didn't need to own a wondrous but PRICY Dyson to make it work.

Life Coaching Sydney
Finding Life Coaching in Sydney is simple when you prefer the comfort and informal experience of phone based conversation.
The reason phone based conversation is the preferred method at Life Coaching Sydney is
- comfortable home environment
- less body language and visual cues
- listening is more active and word focused
- effortless time and/or travel to appointments
- Flexibility of delivery
Comfortable Home Environment
Let's face it, life coaching can be confronting and revealing at times. You will be spending time addressing some of the big issues in life. Where better to talk about these important things than in the comfort of your own home? I find that clients are often most candid and open when they are in familiar surrounds. Being relaxed and calm really helps people to open up and share. It's genuinely good for you to sit down on your favourite lounge, put your feet up, and start talking.
Even better that no one is looking at you. Having the privacy and confidentiality of phone based consultations means that Life Coaching Sydney allows you a certain dignity to confront topics you might not otherwise wish to in a face to face setting.
Less Body Language and Visual Cues
Just being able to talk and get right down into the issues is so much more rewarding than being self conscious. Feeling as though you are being judged on your appearance or how much eye contact you make simply doesn't help. In the same way, not having body language to contend with for both the coach or the coachee means that the focus is purely on what is being said.
Listening is More Active and Word Based
Listening on the phone is simply about letting the other person speak. There is a great hesitancy to speak over the other person or interrupt – in this way I get some really well thought out and complete discussions – simply by letting the client talk and share his/her story. Having the sole focus on the story is also powerful in that you do go even further into detail and explain completely what you are thinking about – for some reason it is just so much better by phone at Life Coaching Sydney.
Effortless Travel / Appointment Preparation
Phone based consults are really able to be accessed in minutes – there is no driving to and from appointments – no getting showered and dressed for the meeting, no childcare or other arrangements. Phone based means yo can literally step out of the office / kitchen / workshop and take you life coaching conversation and then seamlessly resume whatever it was you were doing. In this way, coaching is completely accessible and within reach – no matter where you live in Sydney.
Flexibility of Delivery
Imagine being able to schedule your life coaching appointments for your train ride home? Or for when you are at your child's swimming lesson? Take advantage of short coffee break coaching whilst you are at college? It's possible and completely attainable using the phone based interview and conversation method at the life coach.net.au – Life Coaching Sydney.

"Feeling scared in eye casualty"
About: Southampton General Hospital / Ophthalmology Southampton General Hospital Ophthalmology SO16 6YD
I was waiting in Eye Casualty, very scared because almost all the vision in the eye had gone (there had just been a bleed into the eye, but I didn't know that then).
It was a training day & there were signs up saying this. All of a sudden, people came out of a side room in the Casualty, in pairs. One of the pair had a blindfold on & the other one was being a guide. They all walked out, must have gone round the building & came back in again with the one who had been blindfolded leading the other one.
On the one hand, this is clearly brilliant training - this is what it feels like! On the other hand, I was thinking - is this what's going to happen to me?


text: There once was a fraternity house. It was owned by the brothers of the house. They paid dues. They all went through the process to be a member, and only entered the house when invited by the fraternity as a whole. Membership was open to those who agreed to abide by the frat rules and who approved of the fraternity's goals and way of doing things. They fulfilled their obligations to the house by maintaining it, respecting it, and defending it. They actually liked the other brothers and the idea of what the fraternity stood for. The brothers were given the right to vote on who could pledge the frat in the future and become a member. Then one weekend, one of the brothers invited some of his friends to come to a party. He wanted to have his friends around to talk him up to the pretty girls at the party and make things easier for him when it came to competing with the other members for dates. Without them, he wasn't able to compete well enough to find dates. He saw this tactic as a way to beat the other fraternity brothers at the game of getting dates. But hey, no problem. They were, after all, invited guests. Sure, they had a few free beers, but hey, there was plenty to go around and the cost was absorbed by the other brothers of the house, so it was no big deal. And besides, if they started misbehaving, you could just walk to another area of the party and ignore them. The next weekend, however, he invited even more of his friends over, and before an hour had passed, the beer keg was empty, the chips were gone, and these friends of his were even harrassing some of the women at the party with catcalls. It was beginning to become something of a problem. But nobody was willing to stop them because they always hung in packs of 3 or 4 at least and would intimidate anyone who tried to stop the rude behavior. Anyway, the fraternity had a history of welcoming newcomers, and all the members were at one time in the past new visitors to the house themselves, so they grumbled, but didn't say anything. Mostly for fear of being labled "anti visitor". The fraternity NEEDED new visitors afterall, to keep it strong and alive in the future. The next weekend it really got crazy. The friends of this fraternity brother had invited THEIR friends to come enjoy the festivities and beer and food. Yet none of them were paying for it. The beer and food was provided in the idea that it would help attract quality new pledges to the frat. But none of them even wanted to be a fraternity member! They were just there for the free beer and food. Sure, they were happy to talk up the insecure fraternity brother so he wouldn't ask them to leave, but that was a small price to pay for free beer, food, and women. Some of them even openly despised what the fraternity stood for, and formed cliques of their own where the fraternity members were obviously not welcome. By week four other brothers in the house had caught onto this guys' scam for getting girls, and invited friends of their own to talk them up to the women there and make them seem better than they were. They again did what little was requested of them, performing a valuable service to the brother who invited them, but to everyone else they were really just stealing the beer and food, bothering the women, and generally ruining the party. Some of the new visitors to the house were criminals. Some of them sneaked upstairs to grab items from the other brothers' rooms. Others hated the fraternity and everything it stood for, but couldn't pass up the chance for free beer. They certainly weren't going to pay dues or defend the house or help spruce up the lawn. They were just there for the beer. The minute the beer ran out, they were out of there. By week five there was only enough in the treasury from dues-paying members for a pony keg. Why? Because some of the visitors had damaged the house and stolen things that had to be replaced, thus reducing the beer fund that week. With so many attendees , after 10 minutes the beer was gone and fights were breaking out amongst the newcomers and themselves and even the newcomers and brothers. Apparently some of the visitors hated "frat boys" and wanted trouble. Finally, one of the brothers who had seen his room ransacked, his girlfriend groped, and his good times spoiled once to often politely asked that maybe the visitors should be asked to leave and not come back unless a majority of the brothers wanted them there. He was of course immediately condemned as being "inhospitable". The minority of brothers who had invited the visitors to the parties knew they would get zero dates w/o these guys around to help them out, so they condemed him the loudest. They went to the President of the fraternity, a bottle of triple malt scotch in hand as a "gift", and convinced him that a "diverse" fraternity party was somehow magically better than one composed only of frat brothers and women. And since the President loved triple malt scotch more than life itself, they got their way. He answered complaints from the other brothers with doublespeak about how much fun the visitors were, how much they needed visitors to survive, and that the costs of the visitors were exceeded by their benefits. When the suffering brothers asked the brothers who invited the guests to help things out by not inviting them again, they flew into a rage, denouncing the others as anti-guest and "unable to compete for girls in the new way" Eventually, the fraternity could not get respectable dues-paying new members. Why? Because membership required paying dues and abiding by their code of conduct. And with free beer and food available as a non-member, why bother with that? One day, the visitors realized that they themselves could use some dates too! They thought about it and at the next party, suddenly, they weren't working for the brothers who had invited them. Instead, they told the girls the brothers were losers and that instead they should date only visitors! They got all the girls because they were willing to take them on fancier dates in return for less sex than frat brothers were used to doing historically. It's not like the frat brothers COULDN'T do this, but they were not going to be happy like their fathers and grandfathers were if they had to go on 120 fancy dates before getting some. By the end of the school year the fraternity was deep in debt, the house was a shambles, totally univited guests were LIVING in the house without permission, the girls were gone, the beer was gone, and the visitors were now demanding a breakfast buffet be provided for them the mornings after parties. Nobody who wanted to join a nice fraternity would even come there. The place wasn't worth being a member of anymore. In fact, in resembled very closely the run down "3rd sector" dorms that the visitors lived in. Run down, crime ridden, corrupt, and uninviting. Finally, the frat totally disbanded and there was no fraternity at all anymore. It was basically just another run down dorm, just like all the other "3rd sector" dorms. Eventually nobody even remembered why there had been a fraternity and what had made it special and fun. What happened to the frat brothers after college? They moved into private homes in gated communities funded by their wise investment in lawncare companies staffed by immigrants working for 1/2 the prevailing wage. THE END

The steering wheels on the wrong side.
I'd say the British RHD set-up is the wrong side.
Our pre-facelift bumpers didnt come with fogs. In 1999.5 we got one piece headlights, fogs, etc.. etc..
Old_skool: If I still had my fogs I would send them over but I sold them a while back.
Yep our face-lift cars actually used the same bumpers, just different grills that allowed for fogs. I actually run preface in my stock bumper, I think it looks cleaner. SO for you folks with your euro stuff and junk....did you guy get the same style trunk as Tyler has, meaning the trunk button and junk. I've seen a few variations so I am curious.
tylers looks like a pre 98 uk
98 ish they removed swage line from bottom to smooth it out
and are facelift have flush handles and lock with hidden electic switches to open them
Face lift got the same euro trunk but with flush button and trip switch by the plate lights to pop the trunk oh and a different swag line.
So there are 3 versions you guys got?
Tylers(which is the same I have)
one without the body line but is still a push the key hole to open
then the flat all across with electric open
Is this correct?
No, we only got two versions...
1) push button with swage line
2) electric popper without swage line
Yup, only 2 "euro" trunks I know of. The facelift boot also has a different shape to the license plate recess. It fallows the outer shape of the trunk unlike the earlier one that was squared off.
we have been driving on this side of the road for the last 2000 years, i would say the streeing wheels on the wrong side
Hahaha... you serious?
1: I'm baffled at your "wrong side" statement. What's the point?
2: Audi is made whereeeee... ? Which side is the steering wheel on there? They just have to cater for us when they let us buy them.
3. There's no right or wrong side.
Gawd. This is retarded.
Im pretty sure the mandate to drive on that side of the road was made law when the original "London bridge" was made and traffic became a bit tight (for that time atleast) A sign was put up saying keep left. Before hand there was no law. People rode there horses any wich way they pleased. Since they where then riding on that side people thoght it smart to ride on the right horse (if it was a carridge) so they could see how close they where to other people. Read this in a Porsche magazine where they argue wich side is the proper side ot drive on.
Just saying... :icon_thumright:
Huh... never knew that.
How come everyone else drives on the right then... if we were once the world's conquerors, how come everyone decided to do it the other way? Just to be awkward? lol
it was just to spite us! the bastids!!
Well from what I have read most of Europe pre-Hitler drove on the left side, but also changed from region to region. Hitler later mandated that you should drive on the right side of the road. It stuck after that for many countries. The British Chanel Island also where driven on the right side at the time. It makes sense for the mainland european countries to drive on the same side, since many people cross over by car into bordering countries. UK, Cypris, Ireland, and Malta are the only countries in Europe that drive on the left side, but they don't border any other counties so its no big deal. And if you look at the UK's former colonies they usually drive on the left side.
The US driving on the right side came from something having to do with freight carriers in the 18th century. Canada (parts of it) drove on the left side until 1923.
Some fun facts..I was bored.
Plans for tomorrow:
~Replace upper front control arms on both sides.
~"service" my Forge diverter valve. I havent cleaned it sinc ei bought it over a year ago.
~Lower the rear of the car a bit more so there isnt soo much rake.
~Pick up a MK3 golf front bumper, grille, and headlights in an atempt to either sell the golf or drive it in the winter.
Oh, and heres a project my brother and I are working on. 1965 Mercedes 250S. Right now its stripped (exterior) but its getting new paint, and some bags <3
Seven hundred years ago, EVERYBODY used the English system. In the Middle Ages you kept to the left for the simple reason that you never knew who you'd meet on the road in those days; you wanted to make sure that a stranger passed on the right so you could go for your sword in case he proved unfriendly,
as for the law being past, that was done in the 1700's
That Merc rocks!
I've always wanted an early 'upright headlight' saloon to tool around with.
Mercs Porn!
Gawd yeah. I love the Merc tyler, you know this
Stacked headlights are awesome!
Gruf: We wherent wrong, just partialy right, lol. That really explains why people drive on the left side of the road right... just incase a foe trys to attack in his car you will be ready with your sword. Yes, that might be the original reason but dont think that applies anymore. The london bridge mandate dealt with traffic, something a little more relevent to cars. The hitler reference I made also deals with cars. You said the steering wheel is on the wrong side..cool. Thanks for your insight.
Thanks guys, Its a very slow project but should be pretty badass when its all done. The bags are going to be pretty easy, only problem is having to fab up some mounts for the bags to bolt into in the front. If anyone comes across some french headlights for the Merc send it over to the US, I'll be very happy.
As for the Audi, I didnt get to do any of the things I wanted to do yesterday due to rain. I did however pick up the bumper and headlights for the Golf. I might be dailying that in the winter, who knows.
Havent been on here in a while. Website dosent always let me on.

Another Ryan Seacrest project coming to the small screen? What, is it Wednesday already?

The series, which has been picked up for 40 episodes, will be a half-hour game show during which kids will compete in elimination challenges revolving around viral videos. Each round will test kids on everything from predicting outcomes to guessing their popularity as voted by the studio audience.
Ryan Secrest Productions is producing, with its CEO Adam Sher co-executive producing with Seacrest.

Hey guys, sorry bout the wait, but you know, work, GF, usual Time consumption. Been trying to get this out for a while now, hope it turned out ok.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, nor do I own MLP.
Fluttershy twitched slightly, her mane disheveled and a look of slight fear in her eyes. It was as though the week had passed by in only a matter of hours, and as she looked down to her adopted son, who was already fast asleep, she could only imagine the sort of things she would need to endure to bring this demon under control. If she even could...She shook those thoughts from her head. She needed to be brave, for Naruto's sake.
The boy was energetic, and fun-loving, and all around lovable. And he was depending on her. He didn't know it, but he was depending on her now more than ever. What would transpire within his seal that night between herself, Princess Luna, and the demon, would have far reaching consequences on the boy - some good, some bad - no matter the outcome. Making sure her charge was neither cold or uncomfortable, she began to prepare herself for bed as well. As she looked into the bathroom mirror, she began to think back on the last week. It had been rather eventful...
After his revenge on Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara, the other students in class became abuzz, and were so eager to meet the strange 'human' child, that they had taken to coming to her cottage after class. While Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo were generally the go-to fillies Naruto spent his free time with, he had developed friendships with several of the fillies and colts in Cheerilee's school. So when he began class himself this week, Fluttershy was sure he would have an even easier time adjusting than either of them originally thought.
Speaking of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who were already nearly inseparable, they were now spending nearly all of their free time with the blonde boy. It was actually rather cute. She just hoped he wouldn't get in the habit of needlessly placing himself in danger, which the three fillies tended to do on a regular basis. He already spent enough time playing pranks with his 'Auntie' Pinkie Pie. Granted, they were mostly aimed at each other, or teamed together against Rainbow Dash, but still...
Fluttershy crawled into the bed she and Naruto still shared. Beginning tomorrow, the addition to her cottage would finally get under-way, and the human child would get his own room. Not that she didn't enjoy letting her adopted son sleep next to her. He had a habit of snuggling into her in his sleep, wrapping himself under her wings in a manner that the Pegasus found adorable. But it would be nice, and she was sure Naruto would agree, for the blonde to have his own space. Despite herself, she fell asleep more focused on what Naruto's new room would look like.
In the field that was her dreamscape, Fluttershy was disheartened to find the Princess of the Moon was already there, waiting for her. The Pegasus was hoping she had perhaps forgotten. "I hope you are ready for what is to come. You must steel yourself. Just remember that he cannot harm you while I am around." Fluttershy shuddered, but nodded. Luna's horn began to glow, opening a rift in the dreamscape, motioning for the Element of Kindness to enter first.
The first step tingled somewhat, but the feeling dissipated shortly, replaced by awe and intimidation. Before her was a rather large, nearly castle-like mansion. Seeing the Princess pass her by and move toward the open door, she hesitantly followed, trying to hide behind the larger mare.
The inside of the mansion was actually very impressive. Very tastefully decorated, though the artwork was a bit unnerving. Strange images of what she could only assume were adult Humans, as well as paintings of strange animals, many of them with more than one tail. As they progressed up the stairs to the next floor, and down the hall, to the open door at the end.
Walking in, Fluttershy swallowed with an audible gulp. Seated on a large chair was the demon, masquerading as a blood-red alicorn. Smirking, his wings unfolded, revealing a rather impressive wingspan, before he swooped down and slammed into the ground before the now shaking pegasus. "Ah, fresh meat," he chuckled, before turning toward the glaring princess. "I take it I'm not allowed to eat this one..." Sure it was a joke, but all the same, Fluttershy let out a squeak and ducked behind Luna.
"Hehehehe..." he laughed. "A timid one. Not that I'm complaining, but why exactly did you bring the mother here? Are you attempting to play on my sympathy or emotion? Are you even sure whether I have either of those qualities?" The way he spoke caused a shiver to run through not just the timid Fluttershy, but Luna as well. It was rather menacing, more-so than the demon normally sounded. "So," he continued, summoning the chess-board from the floor. "Why are you here? I assume you brought this Pegasus here to at least attempt to find a good side for you to get on?"
"Actually, she's here to keep you in line," Luna replied, getting a snort in response.
"Her?" he asked. "You think this frightened little nothing can control me? Even with her...Element of Kindness, what do you think she could accomplish?" Luna glared and stepped aside, revealing the cringing Fluttershy, who again began to tremble as Kyuubi stared at her, that bizarre smirk ever present on his face. "Tell me, what exactly can you do?" Gathering what courage she could, she looked up to meet his gaze.
Luna watched as the Pegasus near her tried her best to stand up stronger, but she did notice a slight tremble in her legs. "I believe she might surprise you."
Fluttershy stared into the creature's red eyes. She stared at many beings in the past, but none made her fear more than the one before her. But despite that, she met his stare. Without realizing it, she stepped forward. Luna guessed that was to see if the beast would back down.
Instead, he raised a brow, but matched the hard stare. To him, he had a brief flashback to before he was sealed in Naruto.
Fluttershy kept up her gaze. Her eyes widened, and her stare got even harder than she thought possible. She knew this wasn't a normal creature from Everfree forest that would easily fold to her stare, but she had to try. For her son.
"A mother's love," Kyuubi decided to speak, not even breaking the stare. "How interesting." His smirk widened. "You think a little cage would hold me? One day, Naruto will cause ultimate destruction. It's inevitable. Will you still be by his side? Protecting a human child that could be so much more than a human. When the time comes, I will enjoy watching this world... break."
Fluttershy felt herself almost tearing away from the stare. She wanted to snap at him. To tell him that he was wrong. She wanted to believe that even Kyuubi could change. That was why she was here. To see what the beast within her son was all about. And now, she felt she knew why he was sealed away. But, she was the element of kindness, she could change him. No, she needed to change him.
Luna watched the exchange. Well, Kyuubi's exchange. She was surprised that the pink Pegasus pumped up her glare, but it didn't matter, Kyuubi just stared back. Half bored and with a smirk. She briefly wondered how long this could even last. One had to give out.
She felt something. It was like there was water flowing around her. Luna's hair defied gravity and gently began to float upwards. She glanced around, and didn't see anything. Until she looked at her companion. Fluttershy was still locked in the stare, but a red substance had started to crawl near her. And one look at Kyuubi again, she realized what it was. By allowing him greater freedom, he had found a way around the seal's protective presence. Luna jumped into action, leaving ripples in her wake.
Fluttershy stared. Not realizing what was happening around her. The red substance formed a tail-like appendage, and launched forward. Three of them. She didn't notice them as she was too focused on her task. As they neared her, they shattered into red shards that flew into the air.
Kyuubi didn't break the Pegasus' stare. "Well, that was surprising." Fangs poked from his lips as Fluttershy finally backed down and looked at Luna in surprise. "Who's keeping whom in line? How dare you attempt to force me under control!" The alicorn body he had adopted began to glow bright red before erupting, expanding furiously and retaking his original shape. The house around them crumbled to dust and bars once more separated the ponies and the demon. "You are interesting, Pegasus. But you are no Kushina...certainly no Madara..." Luna, surprised that the demon himself had restored the prison bars, picked up the names. She would have to remember them. They could prove useful later.
"But now I am tired," Kyuubi announced. "I'm sure you can find your way out. If you wouldn't mind restoring the mansion, since the seal prevents me from doing it myself. It's the least you can do, after this ridiculous stunt you just pulled." There it was again. That question that nagged at her. Kyuubi was powerful, and fast. And with the seal protections downgraded, he could have wiped them both out of existence. But instead, he had replaced the bars. Put them back, preventing himself from doing so. But why?
Within the mind of the demon, a fury unimaginable was building. Though he should have expected such a move from the princess, he hadn't expected it so soon. And it was infuriating. He had to get back at her somehow. He couldn't kill her, or the meek Pegasus, for a multitude of reasons, which is why he had restored the cage to hold back his anger. To be honest, he actually felt a tad bit of respect for the cowardly pony, attempting to induce a form of control over him. And despite the antagonistic nature between himself and the princess, she had been excellent entertainment...but perhaps she had outlived her usefulness. It was sad, as she was actually pleasant company. It was nice to be able to have a conversation, and not be bound in chains during.
However, it was time to get serious. He was not going to take such an attempt at controlling him, failure though it was, lying down. And again, it wasn't a bad attempt, and the fact that the fearful Pegasus had been the one to try it was actually kind of amusing. As he slunk into the shadows of his cage, and returned to his new Alicorn form, the prison vanished, and was replaced once more with the manor-house that Luna had originally created for him. Oh yes, the Alicorn would feel every ounce of his fury. The two had already gone, and as he stared into the flames of his fireplace, his dark gaze glinted with anger and mischief, his frown reforming into a sadistic smirk.
"He resisted the Stare?!" Rarity nearly shouted upon learning what had transpired in the seal. Fluttershy nodded, noticing the worried looks on the faces of each of her friends. This was bad. Fluttershy could easily quell the rage of the fiercest beasts in the Everfree with her Stare. Make them back down. Sure, the Kyuubi was supposedly a demon, but they had expected some sort of reaction.
"Princess Luna says that Kyuubi will probably be pretty angry, but she doesn't expect he'll try anything. She says he knows he can't afford to. If he breaks their deal, than he loses the better conditions, and the company," Fluttershy replied. Which was a relief. If he decided to take control of her son...She honestly had no idea what she'd do. There had to be some way to deal with the demon that didn't involve killing Naruto. But until they could find it, they were forced to play the game Kyuubi had designed. And with the Elements, the Princesses, and the Stare all useless, the Demon Fox had all the cards.
"You said he mentioned two names, right?" Twilight asked, intrigued. "When you tried the Stare, he compared you to two others?" Fluttershy nodded.
"Yes," she said simply. "He said I didn't compare to them."
"Which means that whoever these two are, they do know how to control him," Twilight announced. "If we could maybe find them, they might be able to show us how!" Rainbow Dash looked skeptical.
"But wouldn't these two be in Naruto's world?" She asked. "Plus, this demon is really, really old. How can we know if they are even alive now? For all we know, they could be long gone." Rarity nodded, but still had to point something out.
"While that is true, someone was able to seal that beast into that sweet child," she said. "Surely someone in his world knows how to deal with demons like this."
"But then the question is...how do we get to Naruto's world, and how do we find them when we get there." This final thought by Applejack brought a questioning look to the face of Princess Luna, who was just outside the Library, listening to each of them speak. After last night's debacle, she wanted to make sure Fluttershy had made it through, mentally unscathed. Fortunately, the pink-maned Pegasus was tougher than she looked. Spreading her wings, Luna took flight
Easily crossing the town in moments, coming to rest just outside the school, she used a spell to render herself invisible from the eyes of the students. She peered through the open window, looking at the fillies and colts within. But more importantly, she looked on with interest and deep concern for the one human in the group. He was different, no doubt about it, and yet he was so similar to the other children she had to wonder if he wasn't perhaps a pony in another life. But then, children rarely held prejudices, didn't dwell on differences. They had to be taught that.
Suddenly, the Kyuubi's words to Fluttershy echoed in her mind. "You think a little cage would hold me? One day, Naruto will cause ultimate destruction. It's inevitable. Will you still be by his side? Protecting a human child that could be so much more than a human." They could not allow such a creature to distort such a purity. But why did he hate so much. One must be taught evil to become evil. Did the same hold true of demons? The Nightmare Forces had once ensnared her mind, corrupting her. What made the Kyuubi the way he was...?
What was she to do? She needed more information. She and her sister had learned about the world in which Naruto had come from, and a few things about the boy himself, but she needed more. She didn't know anything about the Kyuubi. She didn't know why he was the way he was, how he came to be...she didn't even if he had a name besides 'Kyuubi.' Information was the key, especially in a dangerous game such as the one she was now immersed in. In having Fluttershy join her the night before, she had maybe made a bad move, but she had not really lost anything. If anything, she had gained some of that precious information. Now what she had to do was follow it. And Luna hoped desperately that the Fox would not force her hand.
She didn't want to admit it, but she was beginning to notice certain...similarities, between the demon fox and herself. Though both wielded great physical power, they each preferred to use their minds to get what they needed. And if perhaps Kyuubi had been benevolent at some point, the similarities became more apparent. However, there were severe differences as well. While her evil was spawned by the Nightmare Forces, gaining root in her mind and amplifying her inner darkness, Kyuubi seemed to be evil from sheer cynicism.
The fox trusted nobody. Discounting his attack against Fluttershy, he had used no more than scare tactics to intimidate others. To test them. And his words to the Pegasus asking whether or not she would stick by her son...The way it was worded and said implied that Naruto would be turned, but he never said anything about being forced or controlled. He had gone on record as saying that it was the humans he had hated, but still had insisted that the child was an innocent. Was the demon so cynical that he believed the blonde would fall into darkness on his own accord? Or was this merely confusing, misdirection tactics from a vile being of hatred.
Knowing that dwelling on the subject would leave her only further in madness, she attempted to put the thoughts out of her mind for now. She decided that it was time Cheerilee's class got a bit of excitement. A visit from a Princess would definitely qualify.
"-And then Princess Luna came, and we got to play games outside with her for the rest of the day!" Naruto announced excitedly, as he and Fluttershy crawled into bed. "I LOVE school here. It beats the dumb old academy big time!" Fluttershy smiled at her charge, knowing that he was at least enjoying himself here. Of that, she was grateful.
"Ok, I know you had fun today, Naruto, but you need to settle down now. Tomorrow is a new day and you need your sleep." Despite obviously not desiring to sleep, he complied, slipping under the covers. "Now, I'll be in shortly. Try to get some sleep tonight, ok?"
"M'kay," acknowledged the blonde. Nodding, Fluttershy began to leave, but was stopped when she heard something unexpected. "I love you, Mom," the young boy said. Fluttershy froze mid-step, hearing those words. Once they had finally processed, she turned and rushed back to the bed, kissing the blonde on the forehead.
"I love you too," she replied softly, smiling brightly at the boy who beamed back. "He called me Mom!" she practically screamed in her mind, more excited than she thought she would be. This was a milestone. She loved her animals but this went beyond that. Despite everything, this boy...this human boy...was well and truly her son. She knew of course that that was the plan from the get-go, but that wasn't what inspired her joy. This was not about some plan. This was about more than simply caring for some animal, as it was at first. Not even bothering continuing her preparations for bed, she crawled in with her child, wrapping her wing over him as both blanket and embrace. She need fear no demon tonight. Right now, it was her and her son. And she hoped beyond hope that it always would be.
Chapter End
Perhaps not as long as previous chapters, but there was only so much I could add.
Also, while some of you may come to fear that my focus isn't enough on Naruto, it will be later. Right now, the focus is on 'What would happen if Fluttershy took in Naruto.' One character does not a story make. Naruto himself will get far more focus later, but for right now, I need to focus on his impact on the Ponies.
Peace to all my Fans

Where would you go for dinner on a Sunday night?
Looking for a French, Italian or Mediterranean dinner that would be within a 20 minute walk from a hotel on Sherbrooke W near Peel.
To give you an idea of the type of restaurants I enjoy, I've enjoyed meals at Ferreira, Milos, Lemeac and APDC, and wasn't that impressed with meals at Rosalie, Europea and Le Latini. It looks like Ferreira is closed on Sunday according to their website,otherwise I would have been tempted to return. Is there another restaurant of similar quality nearby?
I've also liked meals at Renoir, but I don't feel like dining inside a hotel- it's located in the Sofitel for people who aren't familiar with its location.
I'm considering the Sunday night special at Milos, but I'm not sure I'm going to be in the mood for Greek food that night, so I'd like to have a short list of good options downtown.
Thanks for any suggestions you have!
