quite. i have to go now and, mow the lawn, get my hair cut, entertain my daughter all day, do the recycling, pick up dry cleaning, do the washing, take the bins out, iron, walk the dog, then go to work tonight and supervise drunken halfwits who cannot be trusted to do it themselves.

why anyone thinks life is stupendously different just because they emigrate is beyond me. twats.

Off to MEC to get a bike trailer, then to UPS to pick up what I hope is my passport, then off to have an unhealthy lunch, siwmming with daughter in the pm, viewing a house in Sundance and then off to the Folk Festival................meh, it'll probably all be shite

I know... it's so easy to be a cynic. But just occasionally something makes my heart soar... the look of love in the eyes of my partner or children, a glorious view, the trill of the dawn chorus, a perfect sunset, a stirring piece of music, a staggering piece of art (and I could go on and on...)

Choosing to live somewhere other than the place where we were born and raised only changes some of the external cirumstances... it's up to each of us to make the best of our lives. :thumbsup:

Sure, once in a while there is a peanut butter cup or English toffee, but they are gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. If you are desperate enough to eat those all you have got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers

What are you rambling about. Brown paper wrappers, mint..nuts! Go to the pub immediately and get a few down your napper...
