Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
Well, seven-day-weekend, I am really pleased for you. I think you have done really well to deal with all the difficulties that befell the transaction. Yes, you must have a tinge of regret, but as you say, life throws up new challenges, and just as it was probably right to buy the Spanish property, it is probably right to sell and move on.
Best wishes to you both in the next phase of your lives, and let's hope that the completion goes ahead smoothly.
As for the future of the pound and the euro, who knows? No point worrying about it. We'll just have to live with it.Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good. - Thomas Sowell, "Is Reality Optional?", 19930 -

Sky news have just said that the IMF have warned UK banks to be prepared for the euro breaking up
How's that for timing?!
Otherwise, thanks for your kind words!!(AKA HRH_MUngo)

:TWelcome back Droopsnout - has everything healed?
Yes its worrying news about the Euro. I was in Holland late October and my brothers-in-law are convinced the Euro will fail. Newspapers were very scathing about the German/French pact. We will wait and see.
SDW - Glad the house is sorted - I bet your brain is scrambled with all the strain. Enjoy your next move.

Yes, thanks, MW.
I had the second plaster off yesterday. Wrists are a bit tender still, but I'm getting there. Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good. - Thomas Sowell, "Is Reality Optional?", 19930 -

What did I miss - what have you been up to?? DGMember #8 of the SKI-ers Club
Why is it I have less time now I am retired then when I worked?0 -
Fell off a platform about 5 feet up, DG. (Well, one of its legs collapsed, then it fell down, and I followed). Broke left elbow and right wrist. Had both arms in plaster for a while. Face was a bit of a mess for a while.
