Re: I'm homesick!
 

I would imagine a weekend meet up would suit most people (though I have popped into the 'Grey Goat' in Newmarket on the way home from work and a pub called the Albion (I think) in Holland Landing to watch Arsenal's Champion's League exploits on a Wednesday afternoon)!

No comments from the Arsenal-haters please!!!! :D

You were looking for a reaction to that. You have one. :D

Maybe I have a disgusting mind but "fishing near Dildo Island" sounds like bugg**y. By an uncle. In NF.

No men are needed.

Re: I'm homesick!
 

Yes, I've heard that. Still, I'm surprised you're a neo-feminist.

Re: I'm homesick!
 

No, men are kneaded. It's called marriage.

Re: I'm homesick!
 

Well I was looking for some reaction to 'Dildo Island' 'cos its a real place in NL with a funny name. But your interpretation of the statement is a tad unexpected and probably says a lot about your state of mind...... ;)

Anyway to clarify. There is an open recreational cod fishery in Newfoundland for 5 weeks this summer. First time in a long time and a big deal here. So Mrs AX is off to catch her 5 cod (5 per person, max 15 per boat per day) with her Uncle Ray. So I get fresh cod for supper tommorrow night all being well.

Uncle Ray lives in the community of Dildo. Nearby there is an island called Dildo Island. It's a lot less exciting than it sounds.....

Re: I'm homesick!
 

I've been here 7 months now and get regular bouts of homesickness. It lasts for a couple of days, usually when something bad happens, then I'm fine for the next 2 to 3 weeks.

Last time it hit me I was picking up my inlaws from the airport(Montreal) and I walked past the BA checkin desk with people lined up for the flight to London, and had the sudden longing to go back.

I think it depends on what type of person you are, if you are close to your family and friends back in the UK you will feel more homesick.

I get back several times a year to England for business which does a lot to reduce my homesickness as I usually have a trip there to look forward to. I'm going to be taking my family back for 3 months this winter to escape the Canadian weather so it's not all bad.
