Err, doesn't it have to be satisfactory to Portpin as well? Gawd, I need to do some revision on this thread...

Hangover?

And only you realised that?

Bloomin 'eck Turkish, just seen you quoted above and I agree with you! You're not always a negative, sarcastic and snide b****r!:-)

Be careful. Not only will you be competing mainly with people who have a degree but in many countries (e.g. Korea/Thailand) having one is a prerequisite for getting a visa. In the Middle East you'd need a specialist post-grad qualification and in Europe you'll earn subsistence level.

I think it helps not having dependants and not having too many expensive tastes, but although I'm careful I'm not struggling. Ten years ago I was living off redundancy money, then bits of pieces of employment (as I didn't want to stay in IT) and then an early (hence reduced) pension kicked in when I was 50. I still work, though the local economy is a bit ropey and I've lost most of my teaching hours in the last year. Can't complain and if I get an additional private lesson I know I have a little extra to spend. I'll be moving back to the UK this summer, and to be honest it may well be more difficult to get the supplementary income I want, but it's not something I worry about. Might have to forgo the season ticket I had when I last lived in the UK though.. PS: Eurosaint, know anybody needing crew? :-) Winching and rail work... no foredeck stuff...

I've been told he's fatter...

I've decided it's too easy to wind up Turkish. I think I'm going to move to Dubai and take up golf.

There usd to be a rather fat Jersey senator called Le Mesurier (IIRC) who used to take the biplane Dragon Rapide flight from Southampton airport. When he was booked to fly they used to ask for one of the lighter pilots, restricted crew luggage and tried to upload a little less fuel, depending on the winds. All true, courtesy of my Dad who used to do the load sheets!

Can somebody quote my stalker for me? You'd think somebody as young as Turkish would be out on a Saturday night, but perhaps he's just an internet warrior. I'll pop back and look in the morning, or, if last time at this place tonight is anything to go by, tomorrow afternoon.

And they say we're *****y! Firstly, to disappoint you all, and especially Turkish, I'm not quite as cuddly as in that last photograph (although I understand from on here that Turkish is..). What with the skiing and the footie [:-)] I'm a fair bit slimmer, although I'm probably not for you if you don't like fairly muscular legs.. We've no game tomorrow, so off for a little rest and then to hit the dance floor with friends at midnight. Snow is forecast for tonight and tomorrow so skiing on Monday should be good, and I've no teaching to get in the way. Can't help BigBadBob with his fantasies, but I've lots of straight friends, so a holiday out here could be fun. .

Now be fair, they're all downstairs queing for the single loo. (Or rotting the concrete somewhere...).

Made _me_ laugh!

Don't forget to teach them a few songs..."Pompey going bust with no money in the bank, money in the bank, money in the bank" and "We're all standing on a future block of flats, future block of flats..." As they used to say on the old broadside ballads - 'to a well known air' [Yellow Submarine]

Poor them, after their struggle to get there from the Wessex and Southern Premier....

er.. 2-0 up :-)

As you say, each to their own. Most of the apps I want are there (Italian train times, London Tube, English dictionary with sound, British Airways, meteo, maps, notes, recorder, skype, Tom and Jerry!!, TuneIn Radio etc. I couldn't give a stuff about Facebook or Twitter. Tapatalk is available although I haven't used it. Worth a look, I'd say.

Oh, alright, I was feeling mellow at the time. I'm now up, ready with another cup of tea for my morning chortle (since they won't allow s******).

Any lesbian FCAB's?

:-) But to be honest, I think Waterside saint's response is more appropriate! :-)

I'm just unwinding with a cup of tea after getting in at 4 in the morning. Unfortunately I hadn't switched the 'puter off, so I've just had bit of a splutter...

Just had a quite scan, and this thread takes me back. Back to the playground, where the big boys would tend to hang around in groups and indulge in their bullying. Often low level, but still bullying, and with their "hur, hur, hur, only joking Miss". Heavy, snide and sarcastic and completely unamusing humour which only the in-group found funny. They always picked on someone they saw as a bit different, it didn't matter what the difference was. Some people here don't seem to have changed much.

I'm all for fairness, but wouldn't that be the first time #factlessallen had shown any humour or awareness? Compared with on here where all post are humorous and tongue in cheek....
