Re: Sense of humour differences

Most of the people I know here get my English humour and some have even perfected it. One of the cops I work with has a brilliantly dry sense of humour which is why we get on so well. The first word...

Re: Let's talk about cars

LOL. As I said, a ridiculous car that I’d never own personally, which is a shame, as it doesn’t look to bad for an SUV, especially from the front.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Our ops vehicle at work has the stop start feature. It’s massively annoying, especially if the engine cuts out during a radio transmission and it briefly interrupts the message. What’s even more...

Re: Planespotting II

You think they’re loud, get up close and personal to these things. I got up close to see them take off, didn’t think I needed any hearing protection and my bloody ear drums nearly exploded.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Traded in the ecoboost and finally picked up a GT. Plan to keep this long term and start modding like crazy (starting by taking off the ridiculously loud exhaust that’s on it). Had the ecoboost for...

Re: Moving to America and very worried.

I’ve been here for nearly 10 years now, and my experience has been completely opposite. Brits seem well regarded over here.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Got an offer I couldn’t refuse on the Mustang Ecoboost. Basically offered what I paid for it 4 years ago, so at the weekend, it get traded in for the mustang GT. I figured it was now or never for...

Re: How are Brits generally seen in the US job market?

So the important bit wikipedia missed out is it is where all the 1%ers fly in to in their Gulfstreams. Work at a busy FBO, and you’ll earn a good wage from the tips alone.

Re: WHO CAN AFFORD THESE PRICES

Prices are definitely up but that is ridiculous. I fly back home Sunday and luckily I can book friends and family tickets through BA l, but even so it was still pricey. Car hire is through the roof....

Re: How are Brits generally seen in the US job market?

I work in aviation. I have progressed far further in my career here than I ever would have in the UK. I’ve had 2 promotions in 4 years having just been given the role of running the operations and...

Re: What All Considering Becoming Expats Should Consider

That would almost certainly be true in my case. I have made some very good friends over here who are all American. There’s quite a big expat community here in Monterey, but I’ve made no attempt...

Re: What All Considering Becoming Expats Should Consider

I was about the same. I had been coming here for years on vacation, so thought I knew the place. I quickly found out visiting here and living here are wildly different. Nearly 10 years later, I feel...

Re: UK US Difference

From my point of view, the differences seem subtle, especially as a visitor, but living here, I think there is a gulf between the UK and the US.

Re: California - departures and arrivals

They certainly aren’t leaving Monterey. Housing market is crazy here. Houses are snapped up as soon as they go up for sale. We bought ours in in August 2020 for $670k. Zillow currently has it at...

Re: Apple iPod 2001-2022

Re: Internet - how much $$?

The only thing that would piss me off more than the ridiculous cost of internet access (or the cost of cell phone plans) is having to pay HOA fees. When we moved 16 months ago, we actually had to...

Re: Internet - how much $$?

Mine is bundled in with my tv. Just shy of $200. I’ve looked at cutting cable, but if we did, we’d either lose a lot speed and data, or we’d save only about $30 or $40 a month. 2 kids, and we...
