Not that I am against answering anyones question but when you are seriously planning a life changing decision I expect the person to have done quite a bit of research.

This is British Expats. Not Britsh want to be Expats.
If someone wants advice, write to Anne Landers.
All are welcome granted, but a thicker skin maybe in order.

Heaven forbid that we use our computer for recreational purposes.
In my last job, there was scope to have the BE window open for long periods AND put posts on. I can fit loads on as I can type 70wpm.
Perhaps the computer is purely for looking at.
Anyway, sometimes I save small animals from harm, write stories, go to college, do homestuff and (gulp) play on my PC.
Will I go to hell?
