Me and Wifey were hoping to sell up when the kids are older and move to Spain or somewhere sunny but thanks to Brexit, that is fucking cinders. Alicante I liked, we were there for a few days a few years back and it's not the apex of culture but there is life and it didn't seem too expensive. It wasn't all football shirts and vomit. The seafood down the port was excellent.
I've also spent 18 months working in Dublin but the people there (Bank of Ireland, Camden St, Baggott St., Sandyford) really looked after me and the social life (pre-kids) was always a gas. I thought being English there might have been some needle but I am good at getting on with people, which is kind of what I do for a living, with some kind of I.T. agenda. We were invite to weddings and homes and such, in the suburbs. Always had the craic with the taxi drivers about what spots were really real.
Australia was strangely the place where I've had the most anti-English vibes. I mean the English are quite a belligerent culture but the Aussies have kind of taken it to the next level. Schooners and Midis. If you accidentally ask for a pint they just tell you to fuck off, dickhead, and serve the next one.
Plan is now to win the fucking lottery and buy citizenship

Christmas music sucks!
Problem is there is just too much Christmas these days, no? Mugs be on it the minute after Halloween. Everything is Christmas. Supermarkets be blasting that bell-R shit on loop. Norman Rockwell Cornflakes left, right and centre. By the time it actually comes to pass, I've personally had more than enough. Plus we have to host the mother-in-law and all that shit. Maybe that puts a boner-softening vibe on the whole of Christmas these days.
However, before I am possessed by the Grinch, I do know the best thing for me is to get out into the Peaks in the motor, where there is hella mist and perchance some snow, and get sumdat Dean Martin Bing Crosby choirs and strings shit going but on real quiet. Invokes my 70s/80s childhood watching those seemingly-interminable musicals when we only had 3 channels, but my mum and dad were still around and hitting the Advocaat early doors.
(Raises decaff to the Strut) Merry Christmas, True Believers!

is JULIETTE LEWIS hot or not?
It's took him 16 years to formulate that opinion.
After the Therapist said he was "Impulsive."
