    G'day folks!
    Thanks for the new home Gen. Missed the vote, but I couldn't have thought of anyone better to start this new episode of the NPT.

    Unfinished business from last thread: I think birdseed was supposed to be missed. No idea why phone thought I wanted to say birdseed, sure I've never typed that before!

    You really don't need to have typed something before. I typed Colore once (part of a brand) and the ipad felt it fit to replace it with "colorectal". Not a word that comes up at all in my world, unless I'm talking about this spellchecker!

    There's certainly plenty of elbow room here:

    They have cold beer, good steaks, and their very own airstrip.

    It's perfect.....:)

    Thanks Generali! This looks like my garden! I've got sand in my shoes - do you have any beer in?

    Zagubov will feel at home with all of these music videos :)
    :beer:
    Yes, he does! Thanks Gen!

    Glad to hear it. I'll pour you a scooner of the cold stuff.

    I put the original theme tune to Mr & Mrs in there for the obscurists.

    Somehow when asked to imagine Will.I.Am's boutique hotel in Nice that wasn't exactly what came to mind...

    Thank you very much Mr G El Presidente Sir! for allowing us to visit your new thread, I assume the Visa fee should be paid via a bundle of low denomination unmarked US Dollar bills as normal?
    I think....

    Thanks Gen.

    Has a very Gen feel to the opening post so you have truly embedded our Australia branch into the NP brand.

    My current tipple is Hendricks gin with cucumber. I may have one now to celebrate. This feels like a thread of new beginnings, a Nice baby, a post cancer, post house buying watershed for NP.

    Only the Nice baby was predicted for the last thread.

    If I could have a wish for the lifetime of this thread (like New Year Resolution without the diet/giving up/taking up bit) it is that LiR gets a foot on the road to recovery.

    Thank you spirit.

    Today started well, but I've come to bed now. :(. Hopefully will be back on feet in a bit.

    My wish would be your surgery goes well and that your levels are more easily controlled and you find great health. So , there!

    It does indeed.

    Funnily enough, it feels like a time of big change is all around us at the moment, I know a lot of people IRL as well trying new directions in life, moving houses, getting new jobs, etc.

    Almost a bit like people have been in a metaphorical bunker for the last 7 years, and are now coming out of it and getting on with things.

    Good to see really.
