I suppose thats just humans for you. (diskworld quotation)
Hi Cetti, yeah it was a lighthearted thread from some point of view, BUT somebody started a thread with
GREEDY: I was just wondering how greedy I was, I have nothing to compare it to!
and I gave a simple comparison with the Pakistan earthquake survivors with nothing left, not lighthearted but true anyway.
qapmoc, ah, the 'sort of' makes more sense now! Sounds beautiful and exciting, and a world away from AB! Don't all the queries on here seem mundane, or do you come on here to touch base with 'back home'? What do you do on the island workwise? I've gone off thread here, sorry - I'm even more intrigued now!

Hi again bobble, I am an electrical engineer although you get to put hands on all kinds of stuff here ultra-modern and old, I do lot of troubleshooting/upgrading on old stuff you would not find in europe now, it gets me out and about all over the island.
yes it is nice weatherwise, never less than 12c in winter or more than 38c in summer, humidity good, although we do get hurricanes in summer, great beaches, palm trees, warm blue water, boats floating offshore, etc.. etc.... but you know, my place is only 11Km from the sea and a beach a bit nicer shall we say than southend beach, but I have not sat on it for the last 5 months, my office is at sea level and 250Mtrs from the ocean but I never seem to go there, always seems to be something to do and we will go next weekend!!
I have to admit though that I sure dont miss scraping ice off my car at 6:00am in the dark to go to work.
Regards
