The English Patient was quite heart wrenching for me, but the one I could never, ever watch again is Seven.

I only answered this as an excuse to get underneath RedStiletto's very sexy legs :twisted:
Hi Derf,

Hi Rainbows,
Sorry I'm a bit late on this one (I haven't visited SH for a little while) but I thought I'd just add a little to the list.
I run a well known e-commerce company, I also do a fair bit of consultancy work in e-business internationally and contribute to government and industry policy.
OK, so I know I'm blowing my own trumpet here BUT I've gained a lot of experience in this area, firstly, people don't read things properly on the internet, they only scan so make sure you have these terms in big and obvious type for the future. Its such a pain dealing with it afterwards and ends up costing you more in time than you make in cash. Secondly, don't back down, your policy is there for a reason - you've been stung before so you know from experience not to. Even if you take credit cards you as the vendor take the risk, the consumer is protected by the Distance Selling Regulations, the banks (who seem to run something of a cartel) look after themselves and leave you to deal with bounced cheques, chargebacks and difficult customers who claim the goods you sold aren't up to standard.
There's every chance that your customer may cancel the cheque, but better that than sending out the goods on trust and not getting the cash later.
I was recently asked a similar question by a Scottish Giftware retailer who had received an order from an African company, it was a $1000 order and the transaction cleared through WorldPay but with a caution. I advised them not to fulfil the order, the credit card turned out to be cloned, but the vendor was very upset that he had to pay £30 in charges to WorldPay, I said better £30 than $1000 lost.
So the old maxim may have been Caveat Emptor but in the world of e-commerce its very definitely the seller who needs to be more careful.

I voted for thongs too, but its the woman in the thong or knickers that make them sexy.
You look very sexy in your knickers lil miz which just proves my point

), I see girls I fancy regularly, but then, as has been mentioned by a few people things change after talking to them or getting to know them a bit - the required 'connection' really does involve a whole lot more than the physical.

To Alex and all who feel down at this time of year. Like many of you I've lost more than one member of my family at Christmas time - it almost seems like a trdition in its own right sometimes.
