Elephant Island (61°08′S 55°07′W) - just to be rid of those snooping curtain-parting, book/DVD/tool-borrowing (and rarely returning) bastid neighbours of mine . . . you should see what they did to my sledge hammer!

If it was possible then I would divide my time between living in Thurso and Pictou

I am split between wanting to live in the highlands and moving to Canada. This would give me the best of both.

We discuss this regularly, on a "money no object" basis. If we could, we'd have an apartment in Old Montreal and something similar in SW1. Plus a big house somewhere warm. Probably Costa Rica.

I still don't get the idea that if you had loads of money, that people would take their wives they got when they didn't have loads of money, with them. It just seems daft.

Honey, I've won the lottery. Get packing.

Do I pack for the beach, or the mountains?

I don't care. Just pack and get the hell out of here.

Now Souvy, you know that the Mrs would hunt you down and kill you. You can run, but you can't hide.
