Empathy - a defintion and an unfortunate experience

empathy em'pa-thi, n the ability to share someone else's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in their situation.

Let's just say I can 'empathise' with how Paula Radcliffe felt when she had to take an impromptu 'pitstop'?!

Good point Nick!

You have some good ideas which will be very much valued at the Discussion Group. (wink wink).

Any chance you can make it tonight?
