I'll need to save a lot of money now I suppose.

Good thing I got off the gear isn't it.

I DO have an extremely bad cold though, I hope that it's gone by the time I leave.

kick MY ass?
i sold you that onerous fucking beast of burden at least three years ago!

i am looking forward to DEBRIEFING you when you get to SCOTCHLAND. we shall drink islay malts that taste smokier than lee perry in a bush fire, and dance like ladies do.

you'll find it most INVIGO-RATING,
to witness my power hips GY-RATING.

i'll see you in my office once you get done with the english.

(london's paved with denim clad women, y'know.
the older bits move less, but you never know when a cobble is gonna crack.)

Strange.

I'm really excited and worried.

I've never been to Europe. I'm 33, so it's a bit different for me than the usual OE experience people have in their early 20s.

And the fact that I'm hoping to switch careers at this point in my life worries the hell out of me too.

But mostly, the fact that a thread about Joey's new show got over 30 replies REALLY worries me. When you think about the average IQ of the people on the 'Lith.

Mind you, I invade countries in my spare time. So who am I to judge.

so you are changing profession?
is it a new life for the sweaty submariner? all clatter and clutter must cease?

i think you might be good in sales.
or possibly drag.

Well, I don't really want to be a Chef anymore.

The writing thing seems to be going ok. I don't expect miracles, but I've met writers, PROPER ones, and fucksake they are not THAT special... I think that I might get a bit of work doing that anyway. I can fall back on the cooking gig I guess. But I don't wanna be in cooking anymore. Getting too old for the life. And it IS a Life.

I mean, it goes a bit like this.

Chef=Long Hours=Hard Work=Physical Debilitation=Mental Loonyness=Murderous Urges=Heavy Drinking=Late Nights=Unsociable Hours=One forms a Party Crew=Affairs=Drugs=Vendettas=SHIT

Same old, Night after fucking Night.

I used to be a relatively normal guy. You probably don't believe that, but it's true. Sort of. I mean, my mind's always been a little strange.

But I YEARN for stability, Gra-Gra.

I'd still like to play with Submarines in the Bath, of course.

Eat your lover and piss off . At least I'm not talking about Iraq.

I'm sure there's something very important that needs your attention.

Like perhaps Darts, that's probably on the Telly and would be a good use of your time.

Or perhaps you could see if you could fit your foot in your mouth, I bet you can if you just BELIEVE.

You see, I just wanted to express how I'm feeling here. I'm a bit worried. I think it's certainly valid that I put forth this thread in lieu of the fact I'm arriving in a Strange country soon, and hoping to make some big changes in my life. The fact that most posters on this board are FROM said country certainly remained prescient in my mind when contemplating whether to start this Thread or not. I thought I may get some pointers or somesuch.

But I got you, didn't I mate.

Oh well, I suppose I've learnt something about the British state of mind today. I hope you're in the minority.

*note to self: read thread properly before replying*

So you coming 'ere then? Where are you planning to stay - London, I assume?

Regrettable Juvenilia

08:34 / 03.06.04

We look forward to welcoming you to the UK!

Cat Chant

How long are you going to be here for? Why are you coming? Etc.

when did you decide to do this, man? was it a last minute, CRAZZZZZY thing, or have you been stewing over this for ages?

I am very seriously jealous of anyone who travels a lot, and/or can just pick up and move to a whole new place, just like that.

VonKobra,Scuttling&Slithering

15:16 / 03.06.04

Well it may have been kidding around to you.

I had to have an INTERVENTION.

There's bitter tears EVERYWHERE.

I even slashed my Ronan Keating Plushie in a fit of PIQUE.

ps Yes, London.

pps My friends invited me over to stay with them. It's all a bit sudden actually. I haven't had my shots or ANYTHING.

pomegranate

15:30 / 03.06.04
