  1. Relax mate, you’re getting a bit flustered. Now why don’t we all sit down and you can tell us a lovely story, we ain’t had a story for a week or so and I for one am missing them.
  2. Have you any suggestions Phileas Fogg ?
  3. It’s like anything mate, you have to go and live in another society before you can make that evaluation…..I visit back now and 2 days and I can’t wait to leave. Its worse than when I lived there admittedly but even so I genuinely wonder how I put up with it…..but the answer is simple, I didn’t know any different.
  4. I’ve told you before, the European blood will be down to some unfortunate incident that befell your great, great, great nan !
  5. There you go, some things just are !
  6. I do like you…..I like you there ! lol
  7. No, genuinely, if it was like some historic African name then that’s relevant to you and I’d think “oh, that’s pretty smart” But I dont know what possible relevance a Gaelic name could have to you…..it’s not relevant to you or your history or your ancestors…..there’s no connection. I know you Americans like to get all excited about history because you don’t have any but you all came from somewhere and that is your history…..and, and this is just a wild stab in the dark, I’m guessing your ancestors didn’t come from Donegal ! lol
  8. The shame is, nobody learns things until they are older, some learn quicker than others….im not one of those ! lol I always have great admiration for these young switched on types who are smart from a young age and think bigger than lads like me did at a similar age. If I was a young man again and had the smarts to predict the future I’d have bought myself a place abroad years ago and just commuted or used the internet better or some such thing……I’d have been caked ! As it was, I was flat out and just did what eveeyine does…..would I do the same ?, the work yes but the hou
  9. Nobody understands disposable income better than me….f**k me, I’ve “disposed” of enough of it on whatever took my fancy ! lol
  10. I suggest having a look and seeing what works best for whoever is lookings personal circumstances and goals.
  11. Then don’t go to those places, go somewhere else ? Easy innit!
  12. Better healthcare !, more disposable income, better job prospects (if you like earning £12 an hour 20 hours a week !), better infrastructure ! lol……have you thought about doing stand up full time ? lol
  13. Here’s a thing and I’m sure anyone who has run a business will tell you the same…..maybe 20% of your customers are 99% of your problems ! So, you get rid of those 20% and, yes, you are that 20% of clients poorer BUT…..you solved 99% of your stress and aggro and your life is better. Same applies to moving, you may not be earning a few grand a week anymore but by f**k your living like an emperor….freedom and time to spend how you want with who you want…you may not have a brand new car on the drive but who the f**k needs one if things like that ain’t important to you ?
  14. I’d say just being able to live a life is most peoples priority…..that’s looks like different things to different people.
  15. I agree, we all done it, but you educate yourself as you go along don’t you mate.
  16. There’s good and bad in everything, I’ve always thought if you were allowed to keep enough of your own money then the safety net is less likely to be required. Swings and roundabouts mate, nobody is trying to convince you that you shouldn’t be happy with a £400,000 3 bed semi and a 35 year mortgage or negligible disposable income, nobody wants to persuade you that your £50,000 car on the never never isn’t a distraction from the fact you have £100 in the bank. Nobody wants to make you feel down that you pay more for the NHS a week than you would private and can’t get an appointment o
  17. First and foremost, nobody mentioned immigrants. Moving ain’t all about one thing, I’d guess like me, moving is a culmination of different things. So, let’s take my example of Central Europe and zero inheritance tax……that’s means, if I want to leave my kids everything I have I can without the state helping themselves to half of it and my kids having to be back at square one ! That’s one thing…… Also, the ability to own a home without having a mortgage you won’t live to see the end of and your kids having to do the same…..that’s one more thing And anyone could go on, thi
  18. The hardest thing I think for people is the mental leap…..that’s what I get from various conversations I’ve had. The reality is, you just do it and work it out as you go along….. That is of course easier if you have a few quid to pad you out. Id also say, be sure about why you are doing it…..if it’s to change your life then keep that in mind, if it’s freedom from all the daily little abuses we suffer in the U.K. then keep that in mind, I’d say if (unless you are a young man) it’s for financial gain then that’s not a reason to do it……that said wages are better and costs lower in
  19. If it’s your first name then your parents were Hippys…… If it’s your last name, that’s the name of the bloke who owned your great, great, great Grandad…… Riddle solved.
  20. Deutschland erwache
  21. Central and Eastern Europe is positioning itself to pick up all the skills and money that no longer want to have the piss taken out of them in the UK tax rates of 10%, no capital gains, zero inheritance, best internet in the whole of Europe, clean, cheap housing, 3rd world types are like rocking horse shit because our eastern cousins don’t like them, cheap healthcare, access by car to the whole of Europe……if the EU carry on with this digital currency business I’ll be giving it serious thought. Oh, and no tax on foreign income is some states…..
