Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

Not this year, but have been on plenty of other years (excpt for the dog!). I used to just ignore the fact it was Christmas - but I know that's not always easy.

Somewhere in the middle of CelticSpirit's post she said "I am not trying to be judgmental here" ... maybe you didn't see it. :confused:

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

Emma Thompson is alive and well (I think someone referred to her a few posts back).

Maybe you are thinking of Liam Neeson's wife Natasha Richardson (one of the Redgrave sisters) who died after a...

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

She was co-star in the first Austin Powers movie, also dated Hugh Grant, I think (until he was caught cosying up to a transvestite prostitute, that is).

No, we do the ecologically responsible thing and either compost or recycle food waste.

Garbage disposals are a ridiculously indulgent, wasteful and lazy piece of machinery that only serve to gunk...

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

That's another reason I switched her to it. She is an almost-14-year-old Lab, but still runs like the wind on our daily walk. Maybe a slightly slower wind than in her former days, but she is...

Another good dog food here is Burns. Suzy is pretty intolerant to a lot of foods (stuff like Bakers is the canine equivalent of Kentucky Fried Chicken, anyway), and although Wellbeloved was fine for...

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

ED:

I think your words are particularly relevant to anyone coming back to the UK at the moment. Not only is coming back a culture shock in "normal" times, the challenges of finding a job,...

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

Nothing to lose, everything to gain - go for it, and don't be afraid to hardball the negotiations (re: relocation expenses, etc.). They wouldn't have offered you the position if they didn't really...

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

Unfortunately, I can definitely believe it. :(

I try to keep anything sweet out of the house, or it disappears (and I don't mean in a puff of smoke). We in the UK are just too good at making all...

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

Mainly a weather thing, but also lack of easy access to exercise opportunities (I used to work in a university facility with exercise equipment and an indoor track), much worse riding conditions (I...

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

Not me. I haven't ever had a lot of body fat, but my level of physical activity has decreased considerably since I came back, and I find the cold weather makes me more likely to eat comfort food....

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

That's odd, I can't think what happened - unless it has pasted as a miniscule font that you can't see. After pasting as unformatted text, hit Ctrl-A (select all) and see if there's anything there,...

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

Not sure what you mean exactly by "It didn't work" - nothing happened, or you got an error message, or you couldn't find the commands I listed? Or it came out looking all wrong?

What version of...

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

Have you tried "Paste special" and then choose "unformatted text"? It may be trying to paste as a picture or HTML, which takes a lot more memory.

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

Crikey, that amount is unbelievable. It seems this stuff should be easier to deal with, without having to bankrupt yourself to sort it out. I used to use Turbotax in the US, which cost about $40 a...

I did my second teaching practice at Idsal School, Shifnal, and a lot of our teaching practice schools were in Shropshire.

There is - it's called Gumtree. I've bought and sold on there a few times, it's really good, except that, like Craigslist, it's no good unless you live close to a city. You type in whatever city you...

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.

If you are a USC, then you have to file every year, forever. If you are an LPR, I think you have to file for a period of 5 years, or something like that.

FYI, pensioners in the UK have a larger...
