    Im off outta here thread

    in admist all this woe, who is thinking of saying cheerio to the uk and going travelling or an extended break somewhere?

    location(s)?
    length of time thinking for the trip?
    when are you leaving?

    for me:

    Laos
    3 weeks over xmas/new year

    then either
    -Berlin for more work
    or
    -Indonesia to some of the eastern islands for 4-6 months (much cheepness=long stayness )

      If you have no ties and no regular expenses that you can't close down while away, that is for sure. In the 1980s I got an entire year in South America on $5000, including air fares, and travelling round most of the place. Can't do it now, mortgage, pension, credit cards, cars, etc etc etc

        Maybe if you reduced your time spent on CUK you'd earn plenty of money and then can post 24/7 from retirement island?

                Why do you moan then about it saying "can't do it now" then? Just lower your standards a bit - go to Blackpool or Brighton

                  Getting closer to the post count I had on the old board. Well over it if you sum up postcounts of all my sockpuppets.
