Nice people thread part 6 - thrice by twice as nice :)

I sometimes think about where I would move to if I could go anywhere. But I can never decide as I like different places for different reasons.

Where and why would each of you choose, or would you stay just where you are now?

Slightly OT, Does anyone know the best flashcard/cart to enable an NDS/lite to play MP3s?

And while you are at it - is it worth paying 300 quid more to get an induction hob?

Wish I could answer either of these for you michaels.

Haven't a scoobie I'm afraid.:(

Another bit of my geographical ignorance exposed today. I was trying to figure out why countries as "far apart" as Poland and the Ukraine were sharing the footie and I refused to belive they shared a border until somebody showed me it. I know my way around a map of Europe (or so I thought). CK'll laugh his head off when he reads this.

Why does it sem to me that Poland's close and Ukraine's a million miles away? I know somebody who went to stay at his grnadparents in Poland every holiday and took trains through West Germany, East Germany, and Poland obviously to get there, but he made it sound like it was quite close, although politically it was the other side of the moon from us..:mad:

Sometimes i like to look at maps at look at all theplaces pne could drive too. Its astounding really, how connected the worl is and yet how we manage to be so far apart in desires and aims.

What have you been up to since we heard from you last, treliac?

Not a great deal Lydia, keeping busy.

DD graduated with her masters, coming top of her course. DS has turned 21. The rest goes on as usual.

Hope things are going along well for you Lydia?

induction is ace.

but £300 more than what? a bog standard electric hob, or a gas one?

and also, what are your saucepans made out of - i'm sure you're on top of this already, but aluminium saucepans don't work.

also, anthing without a completely flat bottom is a bit rubbish and ours doesn't believe that some of the smaller saucepans without totally flat bottoms that we have are actually on the hob, and you aren't going to be cooking a stir-fry in a traditional wok on induction.

a bloody cave on a bloody island with no bloody people about, that's what! (there would have to be a supermarket nearby though)
