    gotta love the fact that the euro is nearing 1 to 1 with the pound, although it's not quite there.

    can't wait for this, better try and organise holidays or swaps

    god i'm taking so much time off this year

    Done!

    You'd better all turn up. If you do, we'll have doubled the last meet-up's attendance and that's before all my friends come!

    Hopefully when it gets there our government will just change the currency and nobody will notice.

    Well, my plane ticket is already bought, and paid for.

    Now, whether I'll have any money on top of that to pay for shipping/driving lessons/wedding is another matter!

    But at the very least, I'll be there.

    Hey Janson I wont be in the country for all of November.
    Also, I would be tentative to go anyways seeing as I dont particularly know you well on the forums personally outside of occasional conversation.

    However, I do want to wish you the best in America anyways. As a fellow Brit I hope you dont forget the good olde worlde and Im sure you'll be back to visit one day. More and more of my friends and family are emigrating across the pond (half my family lives in Canada or America already) and I can easily see myself following suit. There is something oppressive about Britain and I can feel it more and more as I get older. Great place, perhaps the greatest, but I think you are making the absolute perfect decision here and it will turn out awesome no doubt about it.

    Im buying you a hypothetical pint of bitter right now. three cheers.

    Well mine's the 16th...


    8th-9th November should be do-able. If this is the definite date then I'll see if japan can make sure he's not working, and sort out the brother's house hotel for the weekend.

    :D Thank you!

    I certainly won't forget ol' England - all my family are here, they'll certainly not permit me to. :wink: I am really looking forward to leaving, though!

    Something cheap! My friends will probably have more ideas. Um, fun shenanigans of some kind. Before we've been to public art galleries, sat in pubs and had lovely walks along the Thames, to give you a few examples.

    My wife just finished her PhD upgrade presentation. She's in London on her way home, like, right now.

    I am excited about this as it means I get to see her again in a week and a bit.

    And I just felt like posting about it here.

    She's stopping in Toronto to visit family this weekend to break it up, but yeah, that's a lot of hours in super-dry climate control and cramped seating.

    Flying long distance suuuucks.

    I had to fly back to CA the day after arriving in Heathrow one time. That week was the worst.

    What's really fun is flying for twelve hours and having to land then transfer to another plane to fly you an hour further just because the airport that you want to go to doesn't take 747s any more.
