:eek: Am I the only NP who has thought you to be male?
You think you're worried. I've met his wife and offspring:eek::eek::eek:Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Did I say I was a chalet girl or just that I spent a season with chalet girls

Let's hope either a) this was before the wife and offspring or b) they don't read the Nice People thread.

michaels's wife and family are lovely so I'm sure he settled into suburban bliss after they had met and well after the chalet girls:D....Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Hardly been anywhere in Europe compared with most of you. 10 days in Germany winding up in Paris & a not very successful exchange to Bordeaux when I was still at school - can't remember much about them. Grenoble when I was a student - I did a summer placement there for 6 weeks in 1988. Paris & La Rochelle 10 years ago. Nothing since, and no city breaks ever. Hoping to go to Toulouse next summer though, now my youngest brother has a house there. Edit - I forgot the weekend in Geneva that I fitted in during my placement in Grenoble. Actually I have been to a few European places, after all, although clearly a lot fewer than a lot of you.
On the other hand I did India, Singapore, Australia, Fiji, & several places in the USA & Canada when I was 6, and Bahrain, UAE & Qatar when I was 14, and presented a paper at an international conference in Boston, Massachusetts when I was 22. (That sounds as though my scientific career was a lot more high powered than it was. The truth is that my supervisor wrote a paper about the work he and I were doing together, and it was accepted for presentation, but he couldn't go to the USA for 5 days because he needed kidney dialysis 3 times a week, so he sent me. I was really not a terribly good research student, and it says a great deal for his powers of tact that he managed to affirm my decision to quit research after the PhD without making me feel any more useless than I already felt.)Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

The bit when I was 6 was my dad's sabbatical year in Aus - with visits to his scientific research friends in countries that happened to be on the way plus a hotel in Fiji. The Gulf was a youth orchestra tour, and so was the Germany/Paris trip a few years later.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

I've never been anywhere. Travelling alone is expensive and I'd be vulnerable (in the idiot/clueless sense). There's no joy to be had eating alone, wandering round alone, then coming home alone to an empty house. So, I've never had a desire to travel as I've no idea what I'm missing.0

I feel similarly about travelling with children but no other adult, which is why I haven't done any of it.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Saw this today and thought of everyone here. It's a bit silly, but totally appropriate after my Dewey quiz...
