But if I must.... *sigh*
The last two offers have been H.K. and Singapore. Weather's nice, and a recent trip through Asia reminded me how much I miss that.
Rather you than me - I like seasons, and change. I don't like permanent hot-and-muggy weather. And I loathe air-con!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

You still get seasons in the tropics, only there's 2 of them not 4.0 -
I'd have to google IPO to even know what it meansGo PN

It made that extra £2.50 ... and there's still night time and up to 8am to go
Today is therefore the most ever from that one source. It's not big bucks in your worlds, but it's my biggest ever so that makes it big. Most people who start, apparently, never make their first £1. I had a quick look earlier and over the years I've had 40 big ones out of Mr G 0 -
I'm with you on this one NDG, I hated Hong Kong, it was fun for a couple of days as a tourist but that always feeling hot and slightly sweating feeling day and night is not for me - and neither is living in a city state - what if you get fed up with the noise and grime - what else is there?neverdespairgirl wrote: »Rather you than me - I like seasons, and change.

"wet" and "dry" doesn't count, for me....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Fair enough. I miss a really cold day too if I'm honest. Not a 3.30pm sunset though.what if you get fed up with the noise and grime - what else is there?

Heh heh....
I love permanently hot weather. And air-con.....:D“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I do miss cold weather when living somewhere warm. But we've had some properly cold weather here for the last 2 years, so it's almost out of my system for a while.
And the 3:30 am sunrises & 11:00pm sunsets are fair compensation for the 9:00am sunrises and 3:30pm sunsets in my book.
Keeps things interesting.:)“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

but that's when hardworking families get to have fun doing it.
Its easy to get sucked into winter hatred, but think of the snuggling, whether warm and relaxed in a heated house....or like here, desperately clinging under a duvet!
and the candles and the red wine and hot spiced food and drinks, and the breath in the air wisping away, and frosty cobwebs and roasted chestnuts, and the delight of a warm bath on a cold night, and making snow angels, and the wonderful, excruciatingly beautiful light outside at night after snow has settled.
Warm nights, preferably firelit, relaxed with someone you love a good film or a book, just not the same as the same stuff on a summer evening.
Of course, day light is wonderful, but dark evenings can have their own kind of fun and charm.0
