To Generalli,

I have been a member of your Platoon for some time now old chap, and will miss your on-target Intel.

FYI- i also have a semi-ginger one year old, and a two and a half year old rascal.

I'm sure family Generalli will be happy in Aus, Strewth...England is going on an extensive 'downturn' anyways.....

Stiff upper lip old boy.

Sorry to read that your wife is still ill.

She's on the mend. CBT is really good it's a shame that it's barely available on the NHS when the treatments that are available aren't as effective and are more expensive.

They live in the Western suburbs of Sydney.

If I'm going to be poor I might as well do it in the sun on the beach as in the rain. My industry has been decimated pretty much overnight so I need to find something else to do. I'm torn at the moment as I really don't know if I can start at the bottom again. I really did start at the bottom in banking.

As you were old chap.

BTW G. What is to stop you posting when you are in Aus? Don't they have the internet over there, or is it seen as too feminine for Ozzie blokes? ;-)

Nothing at all. I suspect I'll post much less though due to the time difference.

This is a bar bill. I suspect the customer had a light beer:

Permission to speak freely Generalli sir....

I think you have the strategic advantage.
You clearly are a wise and good man for realising that for the next few years your primary role will be Daddy/Husband. Maybe during the next phase you get to be king-finance-worker again, or perhaps start another method of gainful employment? I know which title i would prefer on my headstone.

Back in the theatre of battle, Adaptation is the KEY marker of a successful individual, and those that can embrace change are especially happy happy.

Now...Get out there sir, and show those Aussies how the POMEies do it!!

neas

if i'd like to live anywhere it would be aussie/new zealand.. met a few they so relaxed .

CBT is a big help to a friend of mine too, but as you said, is sadly not freely available on the NHS.

You won't be poor. I'm sure you will be fine at whatever you decide to do. It will all work out.

Intelligent people understand where I'm coming from.
Unfortunately, in real life, I rarely encounter them.
In real life, most people I have come into contact with are, well, thick. And thick people do seem to get stroppy quickly.

I've found some of your posts hilarious....so I must be intelligent *pats self on back*. The donkey braying on the sofa eating wine gums (or something like that) is stuck in my memory forever.

PN...Writing is so your thing....I can't say it often enough...must be paid work out there for you..there must be. Some of the dross in the papers that gets published...and they are paid silly money too.
I appreciate that it's getting it going that's the really hard bit.


Most people in Real Life Land are not PLM's (people like me) or PLU's (people like us).....so, it's not just you . I deal with the general public and every day, one opens the shop doors and anyone can walk into your space........and I mean anyone...and I have to interract with them and be nice and....gosh....it can drain the life out of you sometimes.

Yes, I like to think the lot on mse are generally a 'nicer class' of folk.
